Sent to England, he laboured in South Lancashire with apostolic zeal and fervour. 

HE WAS APPREHENDED AT WARDLEY HALL

He was apprehended at Wardley Hall, near Manchester, on Easter Sunday, April 25, 1641. He was preaching at the time and could have escaped in the confusion, but yielded himself up to his enemies, and was carried off to Lancaster Castle.

Here after four months’ imprisonment he was tried, on September 6 or 7, and sentenced next day, having confessed that he was a priest. On Friday, September 10, he suffered the usual penalties at Lancaster.
