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.

It hath pleased God to grant us a natural liege King and Lord,1 of our own Nation, an Englishman one of our own Religion, God hath given him to us, and he is a most precious Treasure, and yet many of us do desire a stranger to be King over us,2—Let us follow Daniel, let us not seek the death of our most Noble and rightful King, our own Brother, both by nativity and Godly Religion. Let us pray for his good estate that he live long among us: Oh what a plague were it, that a strange King of a strange Land, and of a strange Religion should reign over us: where ⟨p. 54⟩now we be governed in the true Religion, he should extirp and pluck away all together, and then plant again all Abomination and Popery, God keep such a King from us.
