He is known as a moderate in and orthodox apologist for the Church of England, engaging with Richard Baxter and urging him to clarify a 'middle way'.
[2] Originally from the Tenbury Wells area of Worcestershire, England, Good was educated at the King's School, Worcester in the time of Henry Bright.
With Thomas Warmestry, he met Richard Baxter and other ministers of the Worcestershire Association in September 1653 at Cleobury Mortimer, to discuss the question of the Shropshire clergy joining the association; he signed a paper expressing approval of the articles of agreement.
He obtained leave of absence from Balliol College for a large part of the period from 1647 to 1658, and then resigned his fellowship.
He was also appointed prebendary of Hereford on 29 August 1660, and about the same time he was presented to the rectory of Wistanstow in Herefordshire.
