Soon afterwards he became usher of Westminster school, and in the year 1658 was made second master of that institution. After the Restoration he taught a school at Chelsea in Middlesex, and was admitted rector of the church of that place in the year 1664. In 1670 he obtained his degree in divinity, being then chaplain in ordinary to his majesty. In 1674 he became prebendary of Westminster, of which church he was afterwards sub-dean. Besides the well-known Latin and English Dictionary, he published several other works. He died in the year 1694, and was interred at Chelsea.
