A few other items may be related to his tenure of office as Joint Treasurer, and later Treasurer, of the Navy (from 1668 until 1673). There is also a volume containing his household accounts, at Wallinford House, Westminster, in 1677; and occasional estate accounts of himself and his successors, from 1681 to 1717.
