Ordained in 1662, he successively held the livings of <a href="/wiki/Little_Easton" title="Little Easton">Little Easton</a> in Essex, <a href="/wiki/St._Mary%27s_Church,_Brighstone" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Mary's Church, Brighstone">St. Mary's Church, Brighstone</a><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in the <a href="/wiki/Isle_of_Wight" title="Isle of Wight">Isle of Wight</a>, and <a href="/wiki/East_End,_Newbury" class="mw-redirect" title="East End, Newbury">East Woodhay</a> in Hampshire; in 1672 he resigned the last of these, and returned to Winchester, being by this time a <a href="/wiki/Prebendary" title="Prebendary">prebendary</a> of the cathedral, and chaplain to the bishop, as well as a fellow of Winchester College. </p><p>He remained there for several years, acting as <a href="/wiki/Curate" title="Curate">curate</a> in one of the lowest districts, preparing his <i>Manual of Prayers for the use of the Scholars of Winchester College</i> (first published in 1674), and composing hymns.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHunt1892_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHunt1892-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was at this time that he wrote, primarily for the same body as his prayers, his morning, evening and midnight hymns, the first two of which, beginning "Awake, my soul, and with the sun" and "Glory to Thee, my God, this night", are well known. The latter is often made to begin with the line "All praise to Thee, my God, this night", which is how it appeared in a 1692 pamphlet printed by Richard Smith. However, this publication was likely made without Ken's permission, and subsequent editions over which he had control revert to "Glory to Thee, my God, this night".
