After acting as a magistrate for twenty years, he was ordained a minister of the Established Church in 1719, and the same year was presented with the vicarage of Croft and the rectory of kirby-super-Baine, both in his native county. In 1722 he was instituted to the vicarage of St. Mary, in Nottingham, where he remained until his death, February 3, 1729-30. His principles of religion were orthodox in regard to points of doctrine and articles of faith; in respect to the principles of others, they were truly catholic. The following are a few of his numerous publications: Primitiae Sacrae (Lond. 1701, 1703): — A Sermon Preached in the Parish Church of St. Botolph's, Aldgate, London, November 22, 1719: — and six other occasional Sermons.
