Edit ProfileCareer
He was created Bachelor of Civil Law on 17 June 1646, "being at that time esteemed a most faithful subject to his majesty." He was in attendance on King Charles I in most of his restraints, particularly at Newcastle and the Isle of Wight (State Papers, Dom, Charles II, volume xx art 126). His majesty granted him the office of clerk of the House of Commons, but the appointment failed to pass the great seal because of the surrender of Oxford. lieutenant appears that the king also promised him the post of comptroller, teller, and weigher of the Mint.
Foreign several years he kept a school at Putney, where he was living in 1661.
