Vinke was ejected in 1662 after which he continued to minister to a ″considerable audience″ in his own house. John Howe preached his funeral sermon. Vinke was well known for his sermons. On 3 October 1658 he preached a sermon at St. Paul's, London, later published under the title ''Tēs pisteōs ’elegchos: or The reason of faith'', by order of the Lord Mayor of London, who was in attendance. Four of his sermons were published in the ''Morning Exercises at Cripplegate''. He contributed the commentary on Acts to Matthew Poole's ''Annotations''.
