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.

And with Impropriations he hath turned preaching into private Masses; if a Priest should have left Mass undone on a Sunday within this ten years,1 all England would have wondered at it; but they might have left off the Sermon twenty Sundays and never have been ⟨p. 97⟩blamed. And thus by these Impropriations private Masses were set up, and preaching of Gods word trodden under foot.

What an unreasonable devil is this? he provides a great while before hand, for the time that is to come.
