| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Thomas Linacre |
 | | Returned to England, Linacre became, after years of distinguished practice, the royal physician to Henry VIII and the regular medical attendant of Cardinal Wolsey, Archbishop Warham, Primate of England, Fox, Bishop of Winchester, and many of the highest nobility of the country. |
 | | The constitution of the college, drawn up by Linacre, and still in force, is a standing monument of his far-seeing judgment. |
 | | Linacre was greatly respected by his contemporaries; Johnson, his biographer, says, "He seems to have had no enemies", and his reputation has lasted to the present day. |
