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.

What meaneth it, that God hath to do with the Kings Stable; but only he ⟨p. 56⟩would be Master of his Horses, The Scripture saith: In altis habitat, he dwelleth on high; it followeth, Humilia respicit, he looketh on the low things, yea upon the Kings Stables▪ and upon all the Offices in his House.
God is a great Grand Master of the Kings house,1 and will take account of every one that beareth rule therein; for the executing of their Offices, whether they have justly and truly served the King in their Offices, or no.
- 1Let Courtiers observe this.
Yea, God looketh upon the King Himself, if he work well or not. Every King is subject unto God, and all other men are subjects unto the King.
