At the [[English Restoration|restoration]] of [[Charles II of England|Charles II]], letters missive were issued (on 2 September 1660) naming Juxon (restored Bishop of London) Archbishop of Canterbury. The ''[[congé d'élire]]'' was issued the next day and the chapter of [[Canterbury Cathedral|Canterbury]] duly elected him on 13 September. The king's assent to the election was given on 15 September and the confirmation of Juxon's election (the legal ceremony by which he took office) was held in the [[Henry VII Chapel]] of [[Westminster Abbey]] on 20 September 1660.{{efn|The bishops present to confirm Juxon's election were: [[Accepted Frewen]], [[Archbishop of York|Archbishop-designate of York]] and [[Bishop of Lichfield|Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry]]; [[Brian Duppa]], [[Bishop of Winchester|Bishop-elect of Winchester]] and [[Bishop of Salisbury]]; [[William Piers (bishop)|William Piers]], [[Bishop of Bath and Wells]]; [[Matthew Wren]], [[Bishop of Ely]]; [[Robert Skinner (bishop)|Robert Skinner]], [[Bishop of Oxford]]; [[William Roberts (Bishop of Bangor)|William Roberts]], [[Bishop of Bangor]]; [[John Warner (bishop)|John Warner]], [[Bishop of Rochester]]; and [[Henry King (poet)|Henry King]], [[Bishop of Chichester]].}}<ref name="confel">{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20190701142413/http://www.lambethpalacelibrary.org/files/places_of_confirmation.pdf Lambeth Palace Library Research Guide – Places of Confirmation of Election of Archbishops of Canterbury]}} (Accessed 31 July 2013)</ref> He received the [[temporalities]] on 22 September and was enthroned at [[Canterbury Cathedral|Canterbury]] on 25 September.<ref name="fasti">{{Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae |last=Horn |first=Joyce M. |period=1541–1857 |volume=3 |pages=8–12}}</ref> Juxon, as Archbishop of Canterbury, then took part in the new king's coronation, but his health soon began to fail and he died at [[Lambeth Palace|Lambeth]] in 1663. By his will the archbishop was a benefactor to St John's College, where he was buried; he also aided the work of restoring [[Old St Paul's Cathedral|St Paul's Cathedral]] and rebuilt the great hall at [[Lambeth Palace]].
