He assisted his father in his geographical studies, and in the preparation of the Scottish maps for Bleau's Atlas. The earliest known views of historic buildings in Edinburgh (The Castle, Holyrood, Parliament Hall, etc.), and others throughout Scotland, were sketched by him. He executed a large map of Edinburgh (1646-7) [engraved by De Witt], for which the magistrates gave him 500 merks, made him a burgess, and 'treated him to a collation'; For a plan of Aberdeen done at the request of the Town Council in 1661, he received a silver cup weighing twenty ounces, a silk hat, and a silk gown for his wife. On 1st Sept. 1647 the General Assembly gave him permission to proceed to Stirlingshire 'for drawing the mappe thereof'; The Memoirs of Scots Affairs, 1620-51, now definitely proved to have been his, and written between 1659 and 1661, throws a clear light on many of the events of his time the Covenanting epoch and the Wars of Montrose.
He was admonished more than once for a remissness in the exercise of discipline against persons suspected of anti-Covenanting leanings. He lived a quiet, uneventful life, and was more a man of study and research than ecclesiastic or bigot.
