Through Newcastle,[5] Green was appointed Bishop of Lincoln in 1761[6] and he resigned his other ecclesiastical appointments and then in 1764 the Mastership of Corpus.
Green campaigned against the Methodists, writing two pamphlets called "The Principles and Practices of Methodists Considered",[7] but was dissuaded from writing a third by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Secker.
He began to lose the approval of the court when he voted in favour of a bill in the House of Lords for the relief of Protestant dissenters.[8] King George III is reported to have said “Green, Green, he shall never be translated”.[9]
He was never promoted again and died unmarried in Bath on 25 April 1779.
