The changing times with the return of
the King meant that only 10 of the Commissioners retained
their roles and it is a fair assumption that they retained
their influence in the new Essex.
He was also
keeper of the Kings jewels and upon restoration he was asked
to account for the jewels and was unable to do so. Sentenced
to transportation to Tangiers in 1664 he died en route.
