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.

To the Reader.
Christian Reader,
Here is presented to thee some Gleanings out of the Labours of that eminent Instrument of Gods Glory, Bishop Latimer (who may worthily be styled our English Luther.) The times wherein he lived and preached, and the enormities against which he struggled, bear so great a conformity with ours, that with a little variation, he seems to speak to us, both as to our Maladies and Remedy: Which as it was an Invitation to the transcribing of ⟨image 15⟩these Passages; so if thou be one that longest after the Peace and Purity of the Church, they will be found worthy of all acceptation; thou wilt here see a most Glorious Pattern of Zeal, Piety and Godly Simplicity, fit for the imitation of the Bishops and Ministers of this age.
