  William Lilly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Lilly (May 1 (O.S. May 11 (N.S. June 9, 1681), was a famed English astrologer and occultist during his time.
If we may believe his statements, Lilly was on intimate terms with Bulstrode Whitelocke, William Lenthall the speaker, Sir Philip Stapleton, Elias Ashmole and others.
Even John Selden seems to have acknowledged him, and probably the chief difference between him and the mass of the community at the time was that, while others believed in the general truth of astrology, he ventured to specify the future events to which he referred.

 Gov. William Bradford   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
William was provided the education offered by a local "Dame School", which was a kind of local school run by women teachers, mainly concerned with domestic skills, such as cooking and weaving.
William was not so poor as he may have felt, for his father was one of the richest Yeomen in Austerfield and left him and his sister a reasonable estate, including a small farm in Bentley handed down through generations by his great-great grandfather, Peter Bradforth (1460-1542) (as the surname was spelled then).
It is quite possible that William was first attracted to Dorothy May in England when she was at the tender age of 11 in about 1607, shortly before he arrived in Holland, but was not married to her until Nov. 9, 1613, in Holland, when she was 16.

May said the council on bioethics was assembled to create a diversity of opinion, but to "pro- lifers everything else is whim." He called the vote on cloning a moderate decision, but one that leaves lingering questions.
May emphasized that he does not think of embryos as "building material." And he said that the idea that only the rich might be able to afford the fruits of embryonic stem-cell research gives him pause.
May said he takes a middle-of-the-road approach on the question of whether terminally ill patients who are suffering--or their families--should have a choice of euthanasia.
