Mephisto 2650

[bearboy]

13a small numbers with horse disease as before ?IVES - it must be Fives, but where does the hors edisease fit in??
16a Almost baffled by English writer on religion of 16C ?OL?
Thank you for any help or explanations

[Mysterons]

fives = vives

[boxtops]

what's the answer to 16C please (needed for the 16a clue)?

[Lie-in King]

Going mad here boxy! 16(th) century (?)

[slaney]

Foxe(d)?

[bearboy]

Sorry I've been out - I have given the clue exactly as stated in the puzzle (16C) I assume it means 16th century. The L in 16a came from 17d Doctor buys this drug? Could be inexcusably - I put LANITAL - is it wrong?

[bearboy]

Sorted now - the drug is Xenical which tallies with Foxe for the religious writer.
Thank you everyone
