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.

The Bishop of Rome had a Scala coeli, 1but his was a Mass-matter: But this Scala Coeli that I now speak of, is the true Ladder that bringeth a man to heaven: The top of the Ladder, or first Grief is this; Whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 2The second step, How shall they call upon him, in whom they have not believed? The Third Stair is this, How shall they believe in him, of whom they never heard? The Fourth Step, How shall they hear without a Preacher? Now the nether end of the Ladder is, How shall they preach except they be sent? This is the Foot of the Ladder. So that we may go backward now, and use the School-Argument, a ⟨p. 67⟩primo ad ultimum. Take away Preaching,3 take away Salvation. But I fear one thing.—
