This constant Martyr was the son of one Hugh Latimer of Thirkesson, in the County of Leicester, a husbandman of wealthy and good estimation: he studying Divinity in Cambridge, at the first was zealous in the popish Religion, and so scrupulous (as he himself confesseth) that being a Priest, and using to say Mass, he did so observe the Romish Decrees, that he thought he had never mingled enough his massing Wine with water, and he was of the opinion that he should never be damned, if once he were a professed Friar, with divers such superstitious fantasies, and in his blind zeal he was a very enemy unto the professors of the Truth, and when he took the degree of proceeding Bachelor of Divinity, he made his oration against Philpot, Melancton, & his works: Then Master Bilney, as before is said, persuaded him to forsake his former study of the School Doctors, and such fooleries, and to become a true scholar in true Divinity: so that where before he was an enemy, and almost a persecutor of the Gospel of Christ, he was now an earnest seeker after CHRIST JESUS, and became both a public preacher, and a private instructor of his brethren in the University two years, but Satan never sleepeth when he seeth his Kingdom decay: he raised his Children to trouble him.
