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.

Well, the Kings grace hath two Sisters,1 my Lady Mary, and my Lady Elizabeth, which by Succession and Course, are Inheritors to the Crown, who, if they should marry with strangers, what should ensue? God knoweth. But God grant (if they so do, whereby strange Religion cometh in) that they never come to coursing not succeeding.

Therefore to avoid this Plague, let us amend our Lives, and put away all pride, which doth drown men in this Realm, at these days; all Covetousness, wherein the Magistrates and rich men are overwhelmed, all lechery, and other excessive vices, provoking Gods wrath (were he not merciful) even to take from us our natural King and Liege Lord;1 yea to plague us with a strange King for our unrepentant hearts.
