He started working as a preacher in Haverhill, Massachusetts in 1793, and remained there through 1803, after having been promoted to pastor in 1795. He then moved to Beverly, Massachusetts, and became a pastor there. He remained in that position through the end of his life.

In 1828, he travelled to Cuba to recover his health, and died of yellow fever on his way back. He had one book published posthumously, "Letters from Cuba", in 1829.
