The second [seventh] sermon of Master Hugh Latimer which he preached before the Kings…The seconde [seventh] sermon of Maister Hughe Latimer which he preached before the Kynges…

This day I must somewhat do in the second office, I must be again sayer, and ⟨image 42⟩I must stop their mouths, convince, refel, and confute that they speak slanderously of me.

Thys daye I muste somwhat do in the seconde offyce, I muste be agayne sayer, and ⟨image 42⟩I must stoppe theyr mouthes, conuynce, refell, and confute that they speake sclaūderousely of me.

There be some gain sayers gain sayers, for there be some slanderous people, vain speakers, and intractabiles which I must needs speak against.

There be some gayne sayers gayne sayers, for there be some sclaunderouse people, vaynespeakers, and intractabiles whych I muste nedes speake agaynst.

But first I will make a short rehearsal to put you in memory of that, that I spake in my last Sermon. And that done, I will confute one that slandereth me. For one there is that I must needs answer unto, for he slandereth me for my preaching before the kings majesty. There be some to blame, that when a preacher is weary, yet they will have him speak all at once.
