"Immediately after the Restoration he was made one of the king's chaplains and reinstated in the possession of his prebend at Lincoln but not of the archdeaconry of Stow as he preferred holding his fellowship and vice-mastership in Trinity College. Widdrington was now dispossessed of the Greek professorship and Duport restored to it but he resigned the chair the same year in favour of his pupil Isaac Barrow. On 19 July 1660 he was by royal mandate with many other learned divines created D.D. at Cambridge Kennett p. 251. He was installed dean of Peterborough 27 July 1664. In 1668 on the death of Dr. John Howorth master of Magdalene College Duport was recalled to Cambridge and appointed by James earl of Suffolk possessor of Audley End to fill the vacant headship. In the following year Duport was elected vice-chancellor of the university. Bishop Monk says that Duport 'appears to have been the main instrument by which literature was upheld in this university Cambridge during the civil dissensions in the seventeenth century and though seldom named and little known at present he enjoyed an almost transcendent reputation for a great length of time among his contemporaries as well as in the generation which immediately succeeded" DNB.
