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
