On the occasion of the separation of Portugal from Spain, he was expelled for refusing to take the oath to defend the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. He returned to the convent of St. Dominic in Lisbon, where he resided for many years and devoted himself to the preparation of a commentary on the Summa Theologiae of Thomas Aquinas. This was to have comprised ten volumes, but he died after two. Only the first was printed, in 1655.
The Dominican historiographers Jacques Quétif and Jacques Échard give February, 1644, as the date of his death, but the consensus is in favour of 1670. He was buried where he died, in the convent of St. Dominic, Lisbon, Portugal.
