Afterwards he was beneficed at Bigrave in Hertford-shire, where a lean Village (consisting of but three Houses) maketh a fat Living. Hence, he was successively made Bishop of Bristol and Hereford.

He was in the same condemnation with the rest of his Brethren for subscribing the PROTEST in Parliament in preservation of their Priviledges. The times trod so heavily upon him, that (though he ever was a thrifty person) they not onely bruised the Foot, but brake the Body of his Estate: so that he had felt want, if not relieved by his rich relations, dying about the year 1650.
