Thomas Brooks, English Puritan (1608 - September 27, 1680), was a minister noted for his piety and his willingness to serve London in the midst of both plague (1665) and fire (1666).
Although little is known about some phases of his life, it has been suggested that he served as a naval chaplain after studying at Emmanuel College. He was ejected from his pulpit in 1662 for nonconformity, but continued to preach without government sanction until 1672 when he was licensed. He is buried at Bunhill Fields. He is the author of Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices; Apples of Gold; The Mute Christian under the Smarting Rod; A String of Pearls; An Ark for All God's Noah's; The Privy Key of Heaven; Heaven on Earth; The Unsearchable Riches of Christ; A Cabinet of Jewels; The Crown and Glory of Christianity, or, Holiness the Only Way to Happiness (58 sermons on Hebrews 12:14); The Golden Key to Open Hidden Treasures; Paradise Opened; A Word in Season; London's Lamentations; The Glorious Day of the Saints' Appearance; God's Delight in the Progress of the Upright; Hypocrites Detected; A Believer's Last Day His Best Day; A Heavenly Cordial; and The Legacy of a Dying Mother, among others.
Many of his works can be found here, here, and here.
