Career
In the early 1640s he was a preacher at Aldermanbury in London. At this period he was linked with John Milton, as authors in “the frequent printing of scandalous Books by divers”. He was officially examined about his writings at the end of December 1644, being released after two days, and having acknowledged authorship of some work or works, thought to have included the anonymous As You Were.
Milton either was not pulled in, or was quickly allowed to go.
Then, at Street Michael"s Church, Bray, he was an Independent minister, but was ejected in 1662, after the English Restoration of 1660.
