Members of the Cavalier Parliament. When the naval victuallers were ordered into custody on 23 November he came forward as security for Sir Richard Haddock, and on 5 December he was teller for the successful motion for their release on bail.

But hearing the debates arising in the House, he could no longer contain himself, but went into it, even after the question was put (a thing that was unusual, but then allowed), and carried it ... by his single vote; for which he was reprimanded by King James, and dismissed from his valuable employments.
