Wing, B492; ESTC R32866.  <br> Thomas Brooks (1608-1680), puritan divine.  He was a prominent pastor in London.  During the English Civil War he served as a chaplain to the parliamentary fleet for a number of years.  To wit he made this statement, "I have been some years at sea and through grace I can say that I would not exchange my sea experiences for England's riches." He also frequently preached before Parliament.  His public career was ended by the act of Uniformity of 1662. In his preface to "Smooth Stones taken from Ancient Brooks," Charles Spurgeon wrote: "As a writer, Brooks scatters stars with both his hands. He has dust of gold: in his storehouse are all manner of precious stones. Genius is always marvelous, but when sanctified it is matchless. And "There is no such way to attain to greater measures of grace than for a man to live up to that little grace he has." First published in 1655, this work was one of Brook's most famous.  Calamy's Nonconformists' Memorial, vol. I, 1802.
