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.

My Lords, Barnard gives you ⟨image 4⟩good Counsel, in Serm. 23. super Cantica.
Audiant hoc Prelati, qui sibi commissis semper volunt esse formidini, utilitati raro. Discite subditorum vos esse matres debere, non dominos, studete magis amari, quam metui; & si severitate interdum opus sit, paterna sit, non tyrannica, Matres fovendo, Patres vos corripiendo exhibeatis: Mansuescite, ponite feritatem, suspendite verbera, producite Ubera, pectora lacte pinguescant, non Typho turgeant. Quid jugum vestrum super eos aggravatis, quorum potius onera portare debeatis!—.
You live, my Lords, in a discerning and jealous age;1 you are like to find the good old Ass more skittish now, then in former times. Your Fathers made our yoke grievous, let it be your Glory, to make the heavy ⟨image 5⟩yoke they put upon us, lighter, and we will serve you.
