Though Marvell had supported Cromwell, even serving as tutor to his ward, he had managed to skate when the monarchy was restored, even then vouching for Milton. By this point he was an advocate for tolerance and his Rehearsal Transpros'd satirizes Samuel Parker's intolerant "Fears and Jealousies of Popery". Remembered now as a poet, Marvell was famous as a satirist and essay writer in his time.
