His library was sold by retail sale in London by Daniel Browne, beginning 2 February 1704; no catalogue survives but the newspaper advertisement, from The Daily Courant, referred to "divinity, philology and history ... [and] several of the fathers best edit ... there is likewise selected from the same library several thousand volumes to pick at very low rates".
