He studied also (perhaps previously) at Trinity College Dublin, where he was elected a Scholar and attracted the notice of Archbishop James Ussher.
His first known charge was the vicarage of Totnes, Devon, from which William Adams had been dispossessed during the Commonwealth.
After the Royal Declaration of Indulgence of 1672, a Presbyterian meeting-house was built at Taunton, and Hamond was associated with George Newton as its minister.
The Taunton meeting-house was wrecked after Monmouth's rebellion (1685), and Hamond left London.
In 1699 he succeeded William Bates as one of the Tuesday lecturers at Salters' Hall, and died in October 1705.
