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 would our Preachers would Preach sitting or standing one way or other.
It was a goodly Pulpit that our Saviour Christ had gotten him here, an old rotten Boat. And yet he preached his Fathers will, his Fathers message out of this Pulpit. He cared not for the Pulpit, so he might do the people good.
Indeed it is to be commended;1 for the Preacher to stand or sit as the place is, but I would not have it so superstitiously esteemed, but that a good Preacher may declare the Word of God sitting on a Horse, or preaching in a Tree.
