In the London Intelligence of January 29th, 1688/9, he offered ten shillings reward for a lost MS. of The Life and Death of Nathaniel Mather of Boston in New England. He was still publishing in 1711, but was perhaps dead by 1713, when Ranew Robinson (q.v.), almost certainly his son, was in business as a bookseller.
