The governor, with the connivance of Harrison, expelled from Virginia certain ministers who held extreme views, and their expulsion was followed by a disastrous rising among the Indians.
Thus Harrison's change of views occasioned his dismissal, and he moved to New England near his brothers, where he married Dorothy Symonds.
He then came to London, and, obtaining some fame as a preacher, was chosen about 1650 to succeed Dr. Thomas Goodwin in his gathered church at St Dunstan-in-the-East.
At The Restoration he left Ireland, and settled in Chester, preaching to large congregations in the cathedral, till he was silenced by the Act of Uniformity 1662.
[3] Thomas’ eloquence and fluency both in prayer and preaching brought him great notoriety, and Calamy states that "he was a complete gentleman, much courted for his conversation".
