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.

I will tell you what a Bishop of this Realm said once to me, he sent for me, and marvelled, that I would not consent to such Traditions as were then set out.
And I answered him,1 that I would be ruled by Gods Book, and rather than I would dissent one jot from it, I would be torn with wild horses. And I chanced in our Communication, to name the Lords Supper: Tush, saith the Bishop, What do you call the Lords Supper? What new Term is that? There stood by him a Dubber, one Doctor Dubber, he dubbed him by and by, and said, that this Term was seldom read in the Doctors. And I made Answer, that I would rather follow Paul, in using his Terms, than them, though they had all the Doctors on their side.
- 1Latimer desired Gods Word to be the Rule of reformation.
Why, (said the Bishop) cannot we without the Scriptures order the people? How did they before the Scripture was first written?
