Probably the John Phillips, 1631-1707, nephew of Milton, known for his peculiar version of Don Quijote, in which the adventures were moved to English sites. "In 1656, he was summoned before the Privy Council for his share in a book of licentious poems, "Sportive Wit," which was supressed... but almost immediately replaced by a similar collection "Wit and Drollery."" (Encyc. Brit., 11th ed., article on Edward Phillips (his brother), p. 406 of vol. XXI)
