 Schöner may have delayed coming to London because his wife Christian Gibsoun was pregnant.On 24 April 1604 with Lancelot Browne he recommended the waters at Spa in Belgium to Henry Jerningham senior of Costessey for "all such griefs as he does complain of, namely the rheum, vertigo, convulsions, palsye, melancholia, hypochondriaca, obstructions, and the stone".This prescription was used by Jerningham to obtain a licence to travel abroad for his health.
