He was very indulgent to the Irish Natives, in the preferring and encouraging of them for the Ministry; and yet such was their Ingratitude (i. e. the Popish party) that in that horrid rebellion, 1641. they exempted him not from their rapine; but seized upon his cattle, pillaged his house, ransacked and spoiled his Library; put him into a Castle, standing in a Lough, (called Lough-outre) about a mile and a half from his house, ⟨p. 355⟩where he was imprisoned that winter. And at length being permitted to come out, died in a poor house of one who was an Irish-man, and a Protestant, and continued faithful to him; by whose means an Hebrew manuscript Bible of his, (which he brought from Venice) was preserved, and is now in Emmanuel College Library in Cambridge.

He was buried according to his own appointment in the Churchyard of the Cathedral of Kilmore, where he had caused his wife and son some years before to be buried. His judgement being against burials in Churches, as an abuse introduced by pride & superstition.
