Other note

This may be the Mr. Brooks (or Brookes) of whom Philip Henry wrote on 25 June, 1682: "Mr Brooks preacht at chapel two bitter sermons, after the first it was wonderd I would come to hear the second, but though hee doth not know his Duty, I thank God, I know mine & can gather Honey from a dead carkass" ("Diaries and Letters of Mr. Philip Henry" p. 314). However, this person could not be the same Thomas Brooks in ODNB, since he died in 1680.
