He had prob. preach. at Windsor, and other places, but was ord. at H. aft. long trial, 1660, and he d. 19, was bur. 23 Apr. 1686. Of these ch. Dorothy m.

Reg. of Plymouth, he is said to have been a min. sett. at Warminster, in Wilts, and d. 1753. In the copious progeny of famous Cotton, of the sec. and third generat. it is quite observ. how small is the proportion of those wh. pass. mid. age. [2, 5]
