About 1725 he was presented to the benefice of Reymerston; in 1734, to the rectory of Spixworth; and in 1747, to the rectory of Edgefield, all in Norfolk. He retired from public duty about 1750, and died at Norwich, Sept. 23, 1754. He published a number of sermons and other works, the chief of which is, Answer to the First Volume of Warburton's Divine Legation of Moses. See Chalmers, Biog.
