William Bradford wrote a lot about William Brewster in Of Plymouth

Plantation, some of which follows:

After he had attained some learning, viz. the knowledge of Latin tongue,

and some insight in the Greek, and spent some small time at Cambridge,

and then being first seasoned with the seeds of grace and virtue, he went

to the court, and served that religious and godly gentleman, Mr. Davison,

divers years, when he was Secretary of State; who found him so discreet

and faithful as he trusted him above all other that were about him, and only

employed him in all matters of greatest trust and secrecy . . . he attended

his mr. when he was sent in ambassage by the Queen into the Low

Countries . . . And, at his return, the States honored him with a gold chain,

and his master committed it to him, and commanded him to wear it when

they arrived in England, as they rid through the country, till they came to

the court . . . Afterwards he went and lived in the country, in good esteem

amongst his friends and the gentlemen of those parts,

house on the Lord's day, (which was a manor of the bishops) and with great

love he entertained them when they came,

tongue, and CONT laborious. 2 CONT the later part of those 12 years spent

in Holland, his outward condition was

laborious. 2 CONT the later part of those 12 years spent in Holland, his

outward condition was mended, and he lived well and plentifully; for he fell

into a way to teach many students, who had a desire to learn the English

tongue, to teach them English; . . . He also had means to set up printing, by

the help of some friends . . . and by reason of many books which would not

be allowed to be printed in England, they might have had more then they

could do. . . . And besides that, he would labor with his hands in the fields as

long as he was able; yet when the church had no other minister, he taught

twice every Sabbath . . . For his personal abilities, he was qualified above

many; he was wise and discreet and well spoken, having a grave and

deliberate utterance, of a very cheerful spirit, very sociable and pleasant

amongst his friends, of an humble and modest mind, of a peaceable

disposition, undervaluing himself and his own abilities . . . inoffensive and

innocent in his life and conversation . . . he was tender-hearted, and

compassionate of such as were in misery, but especially of such as had

been of good estate and rank, and were fallen into want and poverty, either

for goodness and religions sake, or by the injury and oppression of others; .
