English Literature, Considered as an Interpreter of English History

CHAPTER XXII
8/28

He died at Lisburn, in 1667.
FULLER .-- More quaint and eccentric than the writers just mentioned, but a rare representative of his age, stands Thomas Fuller.

He was born in 1608; at the early age of twelve, he entered Cambridge, and, after completing his education, took orders.

In 1631, he was appointed prebendary of Salisbury.

When the king left London, in 1642, Fuller preached a sermon in his favor, to the great indignation of the opposite party.
