July 1, 1668, he was installed into the fourth prebend of Durham, and in 1677 was given the deanery of Windsor. He had also the living of Witney, in Oxfordshire, conferred upon him; He died June 8, 1683. His works are numerous. See Chalmers, Biog. Dict. s.v.; Allibone, Dict. of Brit. and Amer. Authors, s.v.
