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.

For in this world God hath two Swords, the one is a Temporal Sword, the other a Spiritual.—
For in this world God hath two Svvords, the one is a Temporal Svvord, the other a Spiritual.—
The King correcteth Transgresson with the Temporal Sword, yea, the Preacher, if he be an Offender. But the Preacher cannot correct the King, if he be a Transgressor of Gods Word, with the Temporal Sword: But he must correct and reprove him with the Spiritual Sword, fearing no man, setting God only before his eyes, under whom he is a Minister, to supplant and root up all Vice and Mischief by Gods Word.—

But the Preacher cannot correct the King, if he be a Transgressor of Gods Word, vvith the Temporal Svvord: But he must correct and reprove him vvith the Spiritual Svvord, fearing no man, setting God only before his eyes, under vvhom he is a Minister, to supplant and root up all Vice and Mischief by Gods Word.—
Therefore let the Preacher teach, reprove, amend and instruct in Righteousness, with the Spiritual Sword, fearing no man,1 though death should ensue.
