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.

To have Pulpits in Churches it is very well done to have them, but they would be occupied, for it is a vain thing to have them as they stand in many Churches.
I heard of a Bishop of England that went on visitation (and as it was the custom) when the Bishop should come and be rung into the Town, the great Bells clapper was fallen down, the ty-all was broken, so that the Bishop could not be rung into the Town.
