Francis Coxe

Not to be confused with Francis Cox.

Francis Coxe (also called Fraunces Cox; fl. 1560–1575) was an English astrologer and quack physician. He was tried for sorcery in 1561 and severely punished, and his Unfained Retractation was published in a contemporary broadside. He then published a pamphlet against necromancy, and, in 1575, A Treatise of the Making and Use of Diverse Oils, Unguents, Emplasters and Distilled Waters.
