P. for Bedfordshire in 1559 and from 1563 to 1567. In January 1585 he was appointed the keeper of Mary, Queen of Scots at Tutbury Castle. John was reluctant to accept the commission and argued at length with Lord Burghley before accepting.〔Clifford, Arthur, ed., ''State Papers of Ralph Sadler'', vol.2 (1809), pp.476-479.〕 Bletso was one of the peers who judged the guilt of Mary, Queen of Scots in 1586. He was Lord Lieutenant of Huntingdonshire from about 1587 until his death.

He was succeeded by his younger brother. His daughter Ann married William Howard, 3rd Baron Howard of Effingham.
