A tract advocating the registering of title deeds is attributed to him. He defeated a bill which sought to exclude lawyers from parliament; and to the sweeping and ill-considered changes in the Court of Chancery proposed by Cromwell and the Council he offered an unbending and honourable resistance, being dismissed in consequence, together with his colleague Sir Thomas Widdrington, on 6 June 1654 from his Commissionership of the Great Seal (see <a href="/wiki/William_Lenthall" title="William Lenthall">William Lenthall</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEChisholm1911606_3-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEChisholm1911606-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>However, he still remained on good terms with Cromwell, by whom he was respected; he took part in public business, acted as Cromwell's adviser on foreign affairs, negotiated the treaty with Sweden of 1656, and, was elected again to the Parliament of the same year, as Member for Buckinghamshire, he was chairman of the committee which conferred with Cromwell on the subject of the Petition and Advice and urged the protector to assume the title of King.

He returned to his place in the Long Parliament on its recall, was appointed a member of the Council of State on 14 May 1659, and became president in August. Subsequently, on the fresh expulsion of the Long Parliament, he was included in the Committee of Safety which superseded the council.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 1 November. During the period which immediately preceded the Restoration he endeavoured to oppose <a href="/wiki/George_Monck" class="mw-redirect" title="George Monck">George Monck</a>'s schemes, and desired <a href="/wiki/Charles_Fleetwood" title="Charles Fleetwood">Charles Fleetwood</a> to forestall him and make terms with King Charles, but in vain.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEChisholm1911606_3-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEChisholm1911606-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="End_of_his_career">End of his career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bulstrode_Whitelocke&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: End of his career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>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 necessity of carrying on the government of the country somehow or other had been the chief motive of his adherence to Cromwell rather than any sympathy for a republic or a military dictatorship, and his advice to Cromwell to accept the title of King was doubtless tendered with the object of giving the administration greater stability and of protecting its adherents under the Statute of <a href="/wiki/Henry_VII_of_England" title="Henry VII of England">Henry VII</a>. Nor had he shown himself unduly ambitious or self-seeking in the pursuit of office, and he had proved himself ready to sacrifice high place to the claims of professional honour and duty. These considerations were not without weight with his contemporaries at the Restoration. Accordingly, Whitelocke was not excepted from the <a href="/wiki/Act_of_Indemnity_of_1660" class="mw-redirect" title="Act of Indemnity of 1660">Act of Indemnity</a>, and after the payment of various sums to the King and others he was allowed to retain the bulk of his property.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEChisholm1911606_3-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEChisholm1911606-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Fawley_Court-7210152282.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/Fawley_Court-7210152282.jpg/220px-Fawley_Court-7210152282.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/Fawley_Court-7210152282.jpg/330px-Fawley_Court-7210152282.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/Fawley_Court-7210152282.jpg/440px-Fawley_Court-7210152282.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1279" data-file-height="957" /></a><figcaption>Fawley Court</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Family">Family</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bulstrode_Whitelocke&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Family"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Portrait_of_a_lady,_traditionally_identified_as_Frances_Whitelocke_(1614-1649).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Portrait_of_a_lady%2C_traditionally_identified_as_Frances_Whitelocke_%281614-1649%29.jpg/220px-Portrait_of_a_lady%2C_traditionally_identified_as_Frances_Whitelocke_%281614-1649%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="269" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Portrait_of_a_lady%2C_traditionally_identified_as_Frances_Whitelocke_%281614-1649%29.jpg/330px-Portrait_of_a_lady%2C_traditionally_identified_as_Frances_Whitelocke_%281614-1649%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/Portrait_of_a_lady%2C_traditionally_identified_as_Frances_Whitelocke_%281614-1649%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="419" data-file-height="512" /></a><figcaption>Frances Willoughby Whitelock, portrait by <a href="/wiki/Michael_Dahl" title="Michael Dahl">Michael Dahl</a></figcaption></figure> <p>Whitelocke purchased <a href="/wiki/Greenlands,_Buckinghamshire" title="Greenlands, Buckinghamshire">Greenlands</a> House, Berkshire in 1651.
