He had a great influence both among the dissenting ministers and among the clergy of the dominant church. He was a deeply religious Puritan and shared the Savellian doctrine of the Trinity. Old-fashioned in most of his views, he denied religious views as methodologists and other revivalists, as well as rationalist dissenters, but spoke well of Joseph Priestley and Theophilus Lindsay.
