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.

Rom. 15. Quaecunque scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt.—
IN Taking this Part of Scripture, (most Noble Audience) I played as a Truant, which when he is at School, will choose a Lesson wherein he is perfect, because he is loath to take pain in studying a new Lesson, or else feareth stripes for his slothfulness. In like manner ⟨p. 47⟩I might seem now in my old age, to some men, to take this part of Scripture; because I would wade easily away therewith, and drive my matter at my pleasure, and not to be bound to a certain Theme.

But ye shall consider that the foresaid words of Paul are not to be understood of all Scriptures, but only of those which are of God written in Gods Book, and all things which are therein,1 are written for our Learning. The Excellency of this word, is so great, and of so high dignity, that there is no earthly thing to be compared do it.
