Buttons of gold for caps, 25, 33.
Butts Doctor, 262.
From the following passage in Cavendish's life of Wolsey, we
learn that he was one of the king's physicians. "At Christmas he
[Wolsey] fell sore sick that he was likely to die. Wherof the king
being advertised was very sorry therefore, and sent Doctor Buttes,
his grace's physician, unto him, to see in what estate he was."
Cavendish then gives a conversation between Henry and the Doctor
on the Cardinal's illness. Vol. i. pp. 220, 1, 2. There is also in
that valuable work an engraving of a contemporary illumination,
representing Butts receiving tokens of favour from Ann Boleyn for
Wolsey. Dr. Butts is honourably commemorated by Fox, as the friend
of Bishop Latimer. See also Gilpin's Life of Latimer, p. 42-45.

----, to Mr. Latimer and other scholars of, 73.
This item is of much interest. Gilpin, in his life of Latimer,
says, that Dr. Butts, the king's physician, being sent to Cambridge
relative to the divorce, applied to Latimer for his opinion and
that of his friends upon the abstruse points in dispute, and
finding them favourable to his wishes, brought Latimer with him to
Court. It is possible that the entry in question referred to that
circumstance; but it is most probable from the words of it that
Latimer and the other scholars were afterwards sent for, instead of
accompanying Butts.
