Andrew Bromhall
Andrew Bromhall (fl. 1659), was an English divine.
Life[]
Bromhall was one of the 'triers' for the county of Dorset commissioned in 1653-4 to eject immoral and inefficient ministers. He had been previously presented by the parliament to the substantial rectory of , Dorset, then vacant by the sequestration of Matthew Osborn, M. A.,[1] or Edward Osbourn, A.M.[2] Hutchins records that 'Bromhall died before the Restoration.' Calamy is apparently in error in stating that Bromhall was ejected from Maiden-Newton in 1662, and was afterwards resident in London.
Works[]
He contributed Sermon xxvii. (probably preached before the Restoration) to the first volume (1661) of 'The Morning Exercises at Cripplegate, St. Giles-in-the-Fields, and in Southwark: being Divers Sermons preached A.D. MDCLIX-MDCLXXXIX by several Ministers of the Gospel in or near London,' 6 vols. London, fifth edition, 1844.
