The preaching bishop reproving unpreaching prelates Being a brief, but faithful collection of observable passages, in several sermons preached by the reverend father in God, Mr Hugh Latimer, Bish. of Worcester, (one of our first reformers, and a glorious martyr of Jesus Christ) before K. Edw. the sixth; before the convocation of the clergy, and before the citizens of London, at Pauls. Wherein, many things, relating to the honour and happiness of the king (our most gracious sovereign) the honourable lords, the reverend judges, the citizens of London, and commons of all sorts, but especially, the bishops and clergy are most plainly, piously and pithily represented.The preaching bishop reproving unpreaching prelates Being a brief, but faithful collection of observeable passages, in several sermons preached by the reverend father in God, Mr Hugh Latimer, Bish. of Worcester, (one of our first reformers, and a glorious martyr of Jesus Christ) before K.

But they that will be true Ploughmen must work faithfully for Gods-sake, for the edifying of their Brethren. And as diligently as the Husbandman ploweth for the sustentation of the body: so diligently must the Prelates and Ministers labour for the feeding of the Soul.
Both the Ploughs must be still going as most necessary for man.
And wherefore are Magistrates ordained, but that the tranquility of the Common-weal may be confirmed limiting both Ploughs.

But now for the fault of unpreaching Prelates, me-think I could guess what might be said for excusing of them.
