In 1627, Wray was [[High Sheriff of Lincolnshire]], and on 15 February 1627 was placed on the commission for raising the forced loan in the county. He declined to act under the commission, to contribute to the loan, or to give security for his appearance before the council, and suffered in consequence a term of imprisonment in the [[Gatehouse Prison]]. In 1628 he was re-elected MP for Lincolnshire and sat until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years.<ref name=Willis/>
 
In March 1636 Wray defaulted in payment of [[shipmoney]]. In April 1640 he was re-elected MP for Lincolnshire in the [[Short parliamentParliament]], when he was prominent as a zealous Presbyterian.

He was a man of weight in the "eastern association" and in the propositions submitted to the king in July 1646 was nominated one of the conservators of the peace with Scotland. On their rejection he retired from political life and was excluded from parliamentParliament after [[Pride's Purge]] in 1648.
