During this period, as a high church Anglican, he was in disagreement with King James II, which caused an interruption to his term as J.P. and Deputy Lieutenant. In 1689 he was elected MP for East Grinstead and held the seat until 1698. He was commissioner of Public Accounts in 1696. Dyke died aged 56. Dyke married Philadelphia Nutt, the daughter of Thomas Nutt, of Selmeston, Sussex. Their son Thomas succeeded to the baronetcy and their daughter Philadelphia married Lewis Stephens, D.D.
