A native of Somerset, he was the younger son of William Bond of Buckland and younger brother of William Bond, alderman and Sheriff of London. He was a member of the Haberdasher's Company. Prior to becoming mayor, he was elected as Sheriff of London in 1579 and alderman of Walbrook in 1584. At the time of his election in 1587, the usual Mayoral Feast was cancelled, on account of plague within the city of London.
