In 1681, he was preaching at Hingham; and in 1682 and 1683 he was at Haverhill, but declined an invitation to be settled there. After this mention is made of his occasionally preaching at Hingham. He was ordained pastor at Scituate 27 May 1691. His salary was 60 pounds. He was also aminister at Provincetown, for several years before 1700. He probably only preached to transient population in the fishing season.

There is a monument ot his memory in the old burying ground near the harbour. He suffered a lingering illness, having been obliged to suspend his labours for several months.
