The son of John Rogers (1610–1680), he was born at Barnard Castle, County Durham on 24 May 1658.
He was educated at Glasgow University, where he matriculated in 1673, and then studied under Edward Veal at Wapping.
Rogers began his career in the dissenting ministry as evening lecturer at Crosby Square, Bishopsgate. Some time after 1682 he was struck down by a form of hypochondria, from which he recovered in 1690, and then became assistant to John Shower. Rogers"s hypochondria returned, and in 1707 he left the ministry.
William Ashhurst and Thomas Lane, two London Whig politicians, helped Rogers in his condition, now identified as a form of clinical depression, and the Old Jewry congregation gave him a pension.
Retiring to Wantage, Berkshire, Rogers died there in November 1728. He was buried in the churchyard on 29 November.
