Holland, and on the 29th of March 1652 he was appointed secretary to the See also:council of See also:state, being apparently also elected a member thereof about the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng.

time. His duties included the See also:control of the intelligence See also:department and of the posts, and his perfect See also:system of See also:collecting See also:information and success in discovering the plans of the enemies of the See also:administration astonished his contemporaries. By his means, it was said, " See also:Cromwell carried the secrets of all the princes of See also:Europe at his See also:girdle." On the loth of See also:February 1654 he was made a bencher of Lincoln's Inn. In the parliaments of 1654 and of 1656 he represented See also:Ely; he was appointed a member of Cromwell's second council in 1657; was elected a See also:governor of the See also:Charterhouse in the same year; and in 1658 became See also:chancellor of See also:Glasgow University. Thurloe was attached to Cromwell as a See also:man and admired him as a ruler, and Cromwell probably placed more confidence in the secretary than in any one of those who surrounded him. Thurloe, however, by no means directed Cromwell's policy. He was in favour of the See also:protector's See also:assumption of the royal See also:title, and was opposed to the military party who obtained the ascendancy. After Oliver's death he sup-ported See also:Richard Cromwell's See also:succession and took a prominent part in the administration, sitting in the See also:parliament of January 1659 as member for See also:Cambridge University. Attacked by the republicans on the ground of arbitrary imprisonments and transportations during the See also:Protectorate, he succeeded in vindicating his conduct; but the See also:breach between the See also:army and the parliament, and the ascendancy obtained by the former, caused his own as well as Richard's downfall. Nevertheless, being indispensable, he was reappointed secretary of state on the 27th of February 166o. He appears to have steadily resisted the Restoration, and his promises of support to See also:Hyde in See also:April inspired little confidence. On the 15th of May 166o he was arrested on the See also:charge of high See also:treason, but was set See also:free on the 29th of June, subject to the See also:obligation of attending the secretaries of state " for the service of the state whenever they should require." He subsequently wrote several papers on the subject of See also:foreign affairs for See also:Clarendon's information. He died on the 21st of February 1668 at his See also:chambers in Lincoln's Inn, and is buried under the See also:chapel there. Thurloe was twice married, and by his second wife See also:Anne, daughter of Sir John Lytcote of See also:East Moulsey in See also:Surrey, he had four sons and two daughters.
