(of Birmingham) 1662-d

[HINTS] HINTES [Curate] Mr William [recte Thomas] Brooks. After his ejectment he was very poor, and had nothing to maintain his wife and children, who were in danger of wanting bread. He removed to Birmingham, from whence he went to preach at certain places where help was wanted, sometimes continuing abroad several weeks at a time, and then returning home with supplies for his family. He died about 1670. He was of a weak constitution, and had nothing promising in his person or delivery, and so was not popular; but he was a very holy, humble, heavenly man. His preaching was solid and practical, his converse serious and grave; his patience in sufferings, and his dependance upon God in necessities, exemplary; and his thankfulness great to God and man. He lived by faith, and was most delightfully employed in preparing himself and others for heaven. [CALAMY 395-6]
