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 Reverend FATHERS, the BISHOPS OF ENGLAND.
My Lords,
The Name of Bishop Latimer is of all good men had in great Veneration,1 and therefore it is not to be doubted, but your Lordships will afford him a Favourable Reception: Where should the Labours of a Reformed Bishop and Martyr, find a ⟨image 3⟩safer Patronage, then under the wings of the Bishops of the Reformed Churches? You succeed him in Place and Dignity, tread also in the steps of his Zeal and Diligence. The Tongues and Pens of men are very busy with you; but be confident, if you be clad with the Zeal of your Quondam Brother, they will be as loath to part with you, as they are now willing to be rid of you: For who is he that will harm you, if ye be Followers of that which is good?2
