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.

There is nothing better than to be merry and to do well: A vengeance of been, quoth the Monk, I would that been had been banished beyond the Sea; and that been were out, it were well; for I could be merry, and I could do, but I love not to do well, that been mars all, I would been were out, quoth the merry Monk, for it importeth many things to live well, to discharge the Cure.
There was a merry Monk in Cambride, in the Colledge that I was in, and it chanced, a great company of us to be together, intending to make good cheer, and to be merry, (as Schollers will be merry when they are disposed) one of the Company brought this Sentence, Nil melius quam laetari & facere bene.
