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.

One Word note here for Gods sake, and I will trouble you no longer.
Would Solomon, being so Noble a King, hear two poor women? They were poor, for as the Scripture saith, they were together alone in a House, they had not so much as one servant betwixt them both. Would King Solomon, I say, hear them in his own person? Yea forsooth. And yet I hear of many matters before my Lord Protector, and my Lord Chancellor,1 that cannot be heard. I must desire my Lord Protectors Grace to hear me in this matter; That your Grace would hear poor mens Suites your self: Put them to none other to hear: let them not be delayed.
