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 a Doctor that writeth of this place, his name is Dr. Gorrham, Nicholas Gorrham: I knew him to be a School Doctor a great while ago: but I never knew him to be an interpreter of Scripture, till of late; he saith thus:
Major devotio in laicis & vetulis quam in clericis. There is more devotion, saith he, in lay folk and old wives, and in these simple and vulgar people, then in the Clerks: they be better affected to the Word of God, then the Clergy. I marvel not at the Sentence; but I marvel at such a Sentence in such a Doctor. If I should say so much, it would be said to me, it is an evil Bird that defiles his own nest.—
Major devotio in laicis & vetulis quam in clericis. There is more devotion, saith he, in lay folk and old wives, and in these simple and vulgar people, then in the Clarks: they be better affected to the Word of God, then the Clergie. I marvel not at the Sentence; but I marvel at such a Sentence in such a Doctor. If I should say so much, it would be said to me, it is an evil Bird that defiles his own nest.—
