king and See also:queen. Meanwhile he had been elected for See also:Stafford in the See also:parliament of 1626 and had been appointed See also:recorder of See also:Abingdon and See also:Henley. In 164o he was chosen member for Great See also:Marlow in the See also:Long Parliament. He took a prominent See also:part in the proceedings against See also:Strafford, was chairman of the See also:committee of management, and had charge of articles XIX.-See also:XXIV. of the See also:impeachment. He See also:drew up the See also:bill for making parliaments indissoluble except by their own consent, and supported the See also:Grand Remonstrance and the See also:action taken in the See also:Commons against the illegal canons; on the See also:militia question, however, he advocated a See also:joint See also:control by king and parliament.. On the out-break of the Great See also:Rebellion he took the See also:side of the parliament, using his See also:influence in the See also:country as See also:deputy-See also:lieutenant to prevent the king's raising troops in See also:Buckinghamshire and See also:Oxfordshire. He was sent to the king at Oxford both in 1643 and 1644 to negotiate terms, and the See also:secret communications with See also:Charles on the latter occasion were the See also:foundation of a charge of See also:treason brought against Whitelocke and Denzil Holies (q.v.) later. He was again one of the commissioners at See also:Uxbridge in 1645.
Nevertheless he opposed the policy of See also:Holles and the See also:peace party and the proposed disbanding of the See also:army in 1647, and though one of the See also:lay members of the See also:assembly of divines, repudiated the claims of divine authority put forward by the Presbyterians for their See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church, and approved of religious tolerance. He thus gravitated more towards See also:Cromwell and the army party, but he took no part either in the disputes between the army and the parliament or in the trial of the king. On the See also:establishment of the See also:Commonwealth, though out of sympathy with the See also:government, he was nominated to the See also:council of See also:state and a See also:commissioner of the new Great See also:Seal. He urged Cromwell after the See also:battle of See also:Worcester and again in 1652 to recall the royal See also:family, while in 1653 he disapproved of the See also:expulsion of the Long Parliament and was especially marked out for attack by Cromwell in his speech on that occasion. Later in the autumn, and perhaps in consequence, Whitelocke was despatched on a See also:mission to See also:Christina, queen of See also:Sweden, to conclude a treaty of See also:alliance and assure the freedom of the See also:Sound. On his return he resumed his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office as commissioner of the Great Seal, was appointed a commissioner of the See also:treasury with a See also:salary of £See also:I000, and was returned to the parliament of 1654 for each of the four constituencies of See also:Bedford, See also:Exeter, Oxford and Buckinghamshire, electing to sit for the latter See also:constituency.
Whitelocke was a learned and a sound lawyer. He had hitherto shown himself not unfavourable to reform, having supported the bill introducing the use of English into legal proceedings, having drafted a new treason See also:law, and set on See also:foot some alterations in See also:chancery See also:procedure. A See also:tract advocating the registering of See also:title-deeds is attributed to him. But he opposed the revolutionary innovations dictated by ignorant and popular prejudices. He defeated the See also:strange bill which sought to exclude lawyers from parliament; and to the sweeping and See also:ill-considered changes in the court of chancery proposed by Cromwell and the council he offered an unbending and See also:honourable resistance, being dismissed in consequence, together with his colleague See also:Widdrington, on the 6th of See also:June 165 from his commissionership of the Great Seal (see See also:LENTHALL, See also:- WILLIAM

WILLIAM). He still, however, remained on See also:good terms with Cromwell, by whom he was respected; he took part in public business, acted as Cromwell's adviser on See also:foreign affairs, negotiated the treaty with Sweden of 1656, and, elected again to the parliament of the same See also:year as member for Buckinghamshire, was chairman of the committee which conferred with Cromwell on the subject of the See also:Petition and See also:Advice and urged the See also:protector to assume the title of king. In December 1657 he became a member of the new See also:House of Lords. On See also:Richard Cromwell's See also:accession he was reappointed a commissioner of the Great Seal, and had considerable influence during the former's See also:short See also:tenure of See also:power. He returned to his See also:place in the Long Parliament on its recall, was appointed a member of the council of state on the 14th of May 1659, . and became See also:president in August; and subsequently, on the fresh expulsion of the Long Parliament, he was included in the committee of safety which superseded the council. He again received the Great Seal into his keeping on the 1st of See also:November. During the See also:period which immediately preceded the Restoration he endeavoured to oppose See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)

Monk's schemes, and desired See also:Fleetwood to forestall him and make terms with Charles, but in vain.
On the failure of his plans he retired to the country and awaited events. Whitelocke's career, however, had been marked by moderation and good sense throughout. The See also:necessity of carrying on the government of the country somehow or other had been the See also:chief See also:motive of his adherence to Cromwell rather than any sympathy for a See also:republic or a military dictatorship, and his advice to Cromwell to accept the title of king was doubt-less tendered with the See also:object of giving the See also:administration greater stability and of protecting its adherents under the See also:Statute of See also:- HENRY

Nor had he shown himself unduly ambitious or self-seeking in the pursuit of office, and he had proved himself ready to See also:sacrifice high. place to the claims of professional See also:honour and See also:duty. These considerations were not without See also:weight with his contemporaries at the Restoration. Accordingly Whitelocke was not excepted from the See also:Act of See also:Indemnity, and after the
See also:payment of various sums to the king and others he was allowed to retain the bulk of his See also:property. He lived henceforth in seclusion at Chilton in See also:Wiltshire, dying on the 28th of See also:July 1675.
