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…

His first Sermon was. penitē ci•m agite, ¹Do penance, your living is naught, repent. Again at Nazareth, when he read in the temple and preached remission of since, and healing of wounded consciences, and in the long sermon in the mount, he was always like him self, he never dissented from him self. O there is a writer hath a jolly text here and his name is Dionysius. I chanced to meat with his book in my Lord of Canterbury's library:² he was a Monk of the charterhouse. I marvel to find such a sentence is that author. What taught Christ in this sermon? Mary sayeth he, it is not written▪ And he addeth more unto ⟨image 171⟩it Evangelist tantum scripser••• de ser••onibus et miraculis cristi, quantum ••gnonerunt inspirante deo sufficere ad edificacionem ecclesie ad confirmacionē fidei, et ad salutem animarum. It is true it is not written. Al his miracles were not written, so neither were all his sermons written, yet for all that the evangelists did write so much as was necessary. They wrote so much if the miracles and sermons of Christ as they knew by God's inspiration to be sufficient for y• edifying of the church,³ the confirmation of our faith, and the health of our souls. If this be true as it is in deed▪ where be on written verities? I marvel not at the sentence but to find it in such an author. Jesus what authority he ⟨image 172⟩gives to God's word. But GOD would that such men should be witness with the authority of his book, will they nil they.
