Shaw was removed (1661) from his living at the instance of Sir John Pretyman; he obtained no other benefice, and then the Uniformity Act 1662 disqualified him, as he refused to submit to re-ordination. He removed to Coates, in the parish of Prestwould, Leicestershire. Some relatives brought the bubonic plague there from London in 1665, and Shaw lost two children. At the end of 1666 he moved to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, and was appointed master of the grammar school there in 1668. Through Edward Conway, Earl of Conway, he obtained a license (26 December 1670) from Archbishop Gilbert Sheldon, on a modified subscription. William Fuller, bishop of Lincoln, who admired Shaw's book on the plague, added his own license, on a subscription dictated and inserted by Shaw himself.
