As deputy to William Lupton, preacher of Lincoln's Inn (who died in December 1726), he delivered a series of discourses on the Lord's Prayer, of which a second edition appeared in 1717.
From 1717 to 1720 he was the Rector of St. Nicolas' Church, Guildford, and subsequently the vicarage of Ealing, Middlesex, which he resigned in 1754, and the rectory of St. Mildred's, Bread Street, which he retained till his death.
He also made collations of the text of the Greek Testament, and critical notes and adversaria on Diodorus Siculus and other classical authors.
His other printed works are mainly sermons, and polemical treatises against John Toland and William Whiston.
Another of his treatises, Plain Notions of our Lord's Divinity, also published in 1719, was answered the same year by 'Phileleutherus Cantabrigiensis,' i.e. Thomas Herne.
