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.

In a King God requireth faith, not excess of Horses, Horses for a King be good and necessary, if they be well used, but—
Neither shall he multiply wives, &c.—
Let us not think that, because we read that Kings among the Jews had liberty to take more wives than one, ⟨p. 57⟩that we may therefore attempt to walk inordinately.—
For Christ hath forbidden this unto us Christians, and limiteth unto us one wife only. And it is a great thing for a man to rule one wife rightly and ordinately; for a Woman is frail, and proclive unto all evils; a Woman is a very weak Vessel, and may soon deceive a man, and bring him into evil. Many Examples we have in Scripture, Adam by Eve.—
