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 now for the fault of unpreaching Prelates, me-think I could guess what might be said for excusing of them.
They are so troubled with Lordly living, they be so placed in Palaces, ⟨p. 33⟩couched in Courts, ruffling in their rents,1 dancing in their Dominions, burdened with Ambassages, pampering of their paunches, like a Monk that maketh his Jubilee, munching in their mangers, and moiling in their gay Manors and mansions, and so troubled with loitering in their Lordships that they cannot attend it.
