Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Worthies of England, Vol. 1 of 3 Dr. Thomas Fuller, son of the Rev. Thomas Fuller, rector of Aldwinkle St. Peter* in the county of Northampton, was born there in 1608. The chief assistance he had in the rudiments of learning was from his father, under whom he made so extraordinary a progress, that he was sent at twelve years of age to Queen´s College in Cambridge; Dr. Davenant, who was his mother´s brother, being then master of it, and soon after bishop of Salisbury. He took his degrees in Arts, and would have been fellow of the college; but, there being no vacancy for his county, he removed to Sidney in the same university. He had not been long there, before he was chosen minister of St. Bennet´s in the town of Cambridge. In 1631, he obtained a fellowship in Sidney College, and at the same time a prebend in the church of Salisbury. This year also he issued his first publication, a work of the poetical kind, now but little known. It was a divine poem, entitled, "David´s Hainous Sin, Heartie Repentances, and Heavie Punishment," in a thin octavo. He was soon after ordained priest, and presented to the rectory of Broad Windsor in Dorsetshire; where he married, and had one son, but lost his wife about 1641. During his retirement at this rectory, he began to complete several works he had planned at Cambridge; but, growing weary of a country parish, and uneasy at the unsettled state of public affairs, he removed to London; and distinguished himself so much in the pulpits there, that he was invited by the master and brotherhood of the Savoy to be their lecturer.
