Under James II he published the royal declaration for liberty of conscience (1687), and on the death of Bishop Samuel Parker he was nominated (18 August 1688) to the see of Oxford. Although he had been duly consecrated at Lambeth on 7 October, he was refused installation by the canons of Christ Church, Oxford and consequent admission to the temporalities, while the university refused to create him doctor of divinity, though he had a mandamus.[1]
After the Glorious Revolution, he at first refused to take the oaths to the new king and queen, but yielded at the last moment and retained his title till his death. His death is recorded in the registers of St. John, Hackney; he died on 9 April and was buried 13 April 1690.[1]
