In 1600 he was appointed See also:proctor of his college and catechetical lecturer in the university, though still a layman, and was ordained See also:deacon and See also:priest on the same See also:day, in 16o1, while still under the canonical See also:age, by his uncle the See also:primate

But on his next visit to England in 1619 he brought with him an See also:attestation to his orthodoxy and high professional See also:standing, signed by the See also:lord See also:deputy and the members of the privy See also:council, which, together with his own demeanour in a private See also:conference with the king, so influenced the latter that he nominated Usher to the vacant see of See also:Meath, of which he was consecrated See also:bishop in 1621
.
In 1622 he published a controversial Discourse of the See also:Religion anciently Professed by the Irish and See also:British, designed to show that they were in agreement with the Church of England and opposed to the Church of See also:Rome on the points in debate between those churches
.
In 1623 he was made a privy councillor for Ireland, and in the same See also:year was summoned to England by the king that he might more readily carry on a work he had already begun upon the antiquity of the British churches
.
While he was detained on this business the archbishop of Armagh died in January 1625, and the king at once nominated Usher to the vacant primacy; but severe illness and other causes impeded his return to Ireland until See also:August 1626
.
For many years Usher was actively employed both in the government of his See also:diocese and in the publication of several learned See also:works, amongst which may be specified See also:Emmanuel (a See also:treatise upon the Incarnation), published in 1638, and Britannicarum Ecclesiarum Antiquitates, in 1639

.
During his See also:residence in Wales a hyper-Calvinistic work entitled A See also:Body of Divinity; or the Sum and Substance of the See also:Christian Religion, was published under his name by John Downham; and, although he repudiated the authorship in a See also:letter to the editor, stating that the See also:manuscript from which it was printed was merely a See also:commonplace-See also:book into which he had transcribed the opinions of See also:Cartwright and other English divines, often disapproving of them and finding them dissonant from his own See also:judgment, yet it has been persistently cited ever since as Usher's genuine work, and as lending his authority to positions which he had See also:long abandoned, if he ever maintained them
