	John Harington
		If Sir John Harington had never translated a line of the Regimen Sanitatis Salernitanum, his name would live in memory as the inventor of the flush toilet, and author of "A New Discourse of a Stale Subject, called the Metamorphosis of Ajax" in 1596.
		Sir John did not enslave himself to the Latin text, but rather used it as a springboard into a fancy of his own, rather like Edward Fitzgerald would do with the Persian verses of Omar the Tentmaker in a later century.
		Harington's translation has perhaps never been very well known; in this century it was published by Paul B. Hoeber in New York in 1920, with prefaces by two physician scholars, and this work was reprinted unchanged by Augustus M. Kelley in 1970.

	John RAINSFORD Of Bradfield
		The elder Sir John Rainsford, of an established Essex family, was successively esquire and knight of the body to Henry VII; he served both Henry VII and Henry VIII as a captain in the French wars and was liberally rewarded for his services with grants of lands and privileges.
		This settlement greatly reduced the Rainsfords’ prospects, for Catherine, a daughter of Sir Henry Marney, was a youngish woman who was to be married again in 1509, this time to Thomas Bonham, and to survive until 1535.
		Rainsford raised 100 men for the expedition to the Netherlands under Sir John Wallop in the summer of 1543 and himself took part in the war as one of the army's five captains of foot; he served again in France in the following year, when he was in the King's ‘battle’.
