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.

There was never such a Preacher in England as he is: Who is able to tell his diligent Preaching? who every day and every hour laboureth to sow Cockle and Darnel, that he may bring out of form, and out of estimation, and room, the Institution of the Lords Supper, and Christ's Cross.—
The Devil by the help of that Italian Bishop yonder, his Chaplain,1 hath laboured by all means that he might, to frustrate the Death of Christ, and the Merits of his Passion. And they have devised for that purpose, to make us believe in other vain things; as to have Remission of sins for praying on Hallowed Beads, for drinking of the Backhouse Bole, as a Canon of Walton Abbey once told me, that whensoever they ⟨p. 41⟩put their Loaf; of Bread into the Oven, as many as drank of the Pardon-Bole, should have pardon for drinking of it. A mad thing, to give pardon to a Bole!—
