FULLER  . W.-See also: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 .
