In 1725 he obtained a prebend of Gloucester, and in 1728 was created D.D. at Cambridge. He was next promoted to the bishopric of St. David's, and died at Gloucester in 1761.

Tracts on the Liberty, Spiritual and Temporal, of Protestants in England (1767, 4to): 4. Tracts on the Liberty, Spiritual and Temporal, of Subjects in England: the two last-mentioned are collections of tracts, and form one great and elaborate work, which was the principal object of the bishop's life.
