In 1673 he became a barrister of the Inner Temple; king's counsel and bencher in 1677; and in 1679, during the chancellorship of his father, was appointed solicitor-general, being returned to parliament.
Finch, however, though a Tory and a crown lawyer, was a staunch churchman, and on his refusal in 1686 to defend the royal dispensing power he was summarily dismissed by James.
He was the leading counsel in June 1688 for the seven bishops, when he "strangely exposed and very boldly ran down" 3 the dispensing power, but his mistaken tactics were nearly the cause of his clients losing their case.

 Finch, Anne Criticism and Essays
For a time the Finches relied on the generosity of various members of their families until they made their permanent home at Eastwell in Kent, where Heneage Finch succeeded his nephew in title after the latter's death in 1712.
Marginalized through politics and her desire to write, Finch recognized the difficulties of an eighteenth-century woman assuming the public voice of a poet, while insisting that intellectual pursuits were not the prerogative of men.
Finch's popularity declined in the late eighteenth century until 1820 when William Wordsworth inserted seventeen of her poems in a private anthology that he had compiled, proposing Finch as one of the few poets since John Milton to incorporate fresh images of nature.

Finch compares herself to Flavia, the shepherdess that continues to appear in public even at an age where women were considered unimportant (biologically their child bearing years were either over or soon would be and physically they would be showing signs of aging).
