He sat in the Short and Long Parliaments as Member for Malmesbury, and also in the King's Parliament at Oxford (1643—4), and was fined for his loyalty as a delinquent and committed to the Tower. As he was unable to pay his fine, his estate was seized and sequestered in 1648. He died 18 Aug. 1657. He himself denied that he ever took up arms for the King, and his hard case seems to have excited the commiseration of Cromwell.
