FULLER, M . W.-FULLER, See also:THOMAS See also:generation, disappeared for the most See also:part in his subsequent discourses. About 164o he had married Eleanor, daughter of See also:Hugh See also:Grove of Chisenbury, See also:Wiltshire. She died in 1641. Their eldest See also:child, See also:John, baptized at Broadwindsor by his See also:father, 6th See also:June 1641, was afterwards of See also:Sidney See also:Sussex See also:College, edited the Worthies of See also:England, 1662, and became See also:rector of See also:Great Wakering, See also:Essex, where he died in 1687. At Broadwindsor, See also:early in the See also:year 1641, Thomas Fuller, his See also:curate See also:Henry See also:Sanders, the See also:church wardens, and others, nine persons altogether, certified that their See also:parish, represented by 242 grown-up male persons, had taken the Protestation ordered by the See also:speaker of the See also:Long See also:Parliament. Fuller was not formally dispossessed of his living and prebend on the See also:triumph of the Presbyterian party, but he relinquished both preferments about this See also:time. For a See also:short time he preached with success at the Inns of See also:Court, and thence removed, at the invitation of the See also:master of the See also:Savoy (Dr Balcanqual) and the brotherhood of that See also:foundation, to be lecturer at their See also:chapel of St See also:Mary Savoy. Some of the best discourses of the witty preacher were delivered at the Savoy to audiences which extended into the chapel-yard. In one he set forth with searching and truthful minuteness the hindrances to. See also:peace, and urged the See also:signing of petitions to the See also:king at See also:Oxford, and to the parliament, to continue their care in advancing an See also:accommodation. In his See also:Appeal of Injured Innocence Fuller says that he was once deputed to carry a See also:petition to the king at Oxford. This has been identified with a petition entrusted to See also:Sir See also:Edward Wardour, clerk of the pells, Dr Dukeson, " Dr Fuller," and four or five others from the See also:city of See also:Westminster and the parishes contiguous to the Savoy.

A pass was granted by the See also:

House of Lords, on the and of See also:January 1643, for an equipage of two coaches, four or six horses and eight or ten attendants. On the arrival of the deputation at See also:Uxbridge, on the 4th of January, See also:officers of the See also:Parliamentary See also:army stopped the coaches and searched the gentlemen; and they found upon the latter " two scandalous books arraigning the proceedings of the House," and letters with ciphers to See also:Lord See also:Viscount See also:Falkland and the Lord See also:Spencer. Ultimately a See also:joint See also:order of both Houses remanded the party; and Fuller and his See also:friends suffered a brief imprisonment. The Westminster Petition, notwithstanding, reached the king's hands; and it was published with the royal reply (see J. E. See also:Bailey, See also:Life of Thomas Fuller, pp. 245 et seq.). When it was expected, three months later, that a favourable result would attend the negotiations at Oxford, Fuller preached a See also:sermon at Westminster See also:Abbey, on the 27th of See also:March 1643, on the anniversary of See also:Charles I.'s See also:accession, on the See also:text, " Yea, let him take all, so my Lord the King return in peace." On Wednesday, the 26th of See also:July, he preached on church See also:reformation, satirizing the religious reformers, and maintaining that only the Supreme See also:Power could initiate reforms. He was now obliged to leave See also:London, and in See also:August 1643 he joined the king at Oxford. He lived in a hired chamber at See also:Lincoln College for 17 See also:weeks. Thence he put forth a witty and effective reply to John Saltmarsh, who had attacked his views on ecclesiastical reform. Fuller subsequently published by royal See also:request a sermon preached on the loth of May 1644, at St Mary's, Oxford, before the king and See also:Prince Charles, called See also:Jacob's See also:Vow.

- The spirit of Fuller's See also:

preaching, always characterized by calmness and moderation, gave offence to the high royalists, who charged him with lukewarmness in their cause. To silence unjust censures he became See also:chaplain to the See also:regiment of Sir See also:Ralph See also:Hopton. For the first five years of the See also:war, as he said, when excusing the non-See also:appearance of his Church See also:History, " I had little See also:list or leisure to write, fearing to be made a history, and shifting daily for my safety. All that time I could not live to study, who did only study to live." After the defeat of Hopton at Cheriton Down, Fuller retreated to Basing House. He took an active part in its See also:defence, and his life with the troops caused him to be afterwards regarded as one of " the great See also:cavalier See also:parsons." In his See also:marches with his regiment See also:round about Oxford and in the See also:west, he devoted much time to the collection of details, See also:Island See also:beach on the 16th of June, and the Ossolis were among the passengers who perished. Life Without and Life Within (See also:Boston, 186o) is a collection of essays, poems, &c., supplementary to her Collected See also:Works, printed in 1855. See the Autobiography of See also:Margaret Fuller Ossoli, with additional See also:memoirs by J. F. See also:Clarke, R. W. See also:Emerson and W. H.
