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…

Some thing as concerning the Judge, I would wish and pray, that it might be a little better kept in memory. ⟨image 108⟩that in the seat of Justice, no more iniquity and unrighteousness, might reign.¹

Some thinge as concerning the Iudge, I woulde wyshe and praye, that it myght be alytle better kepte in memorye. ⟨image 108⟩that in the seate of Iustyce, no more iniquitie and vnryghtuousnes, myght raygne.¹

1. 1This I fear me is sooner wished then often seen but yet let us pray.Thys I feare me is soner wyshed then often sene but yet let vs praye.

Better a little well kept, then a great deal forgotten, I would the Judges would take forth their lesson, that there might be no more iniquity used,¹ nor brybetakynge, for if there shall be bribing, they know the peril of it, they know what shall follow. I would also they should take an example of this Judge that did say, not that that he thought him self, but our saviour Christ puts him to say that thing, that was hid unto him self. Wherefore I would ye should keep in memory, how unsearchable a mans heart is. I would ye should remember the fall of the Angles, and ⟨image 109⟩beware thereby, the fall of the old world, and beware thereby The fall of Sodom & Gomorrah, and beware thereby.²
