Soon after, he was appointed to a chaplaincy in the royal army, and not only preached to the soldiers, but urged them forward in battle.

In 1646 he returned to London, where he was permitted to preach, under _surveillance_, however.

He seems to have succeeded in keeping out of trouble until the Restoration, when he was restored to his prebend.

He did not enjoy it long, as he died in the next year, 1661.

His writings are very numerous, and some of them are still read.
