Anno domini 1679 upon the choosing of this parliament, he went down to be elected, and at Salisbury heard how he was scorned and moked at Wilton (wither he was going) and called pensioner, etc : he went not to the Borough where he intended to stand, but returned to London, and took it so to heart that he insensibly decayed and pined away ; and so died at his Lodgings in Whitehall, and was burried Saturday, december 6, in st-Martin's churchyard-in-the fields, near the church, according to his will and testament, his reason was because he said they removed the bodies out of the church.
