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.

These worldlings set little by such works as God hath prepared for our salvation,1 but they extol Traditions and works of their own invention: The Children of Light contrary.2 The worldlings, if they spy Profit, Gains or Lucre in any thing, be it never such a trifle, be it never so pernicious, they preach it to the people (if they preach at any time) and these things they defend with tooth and nail; they can scarce disallow the abuses of these, albeit they be intolerable, least in disallowing the abuse, they lose part of their profit. The Children of light contrary, put all things in their degree, best highest, the worst lowest. They extol things necessary, Christian, and commanded of God. They pull down will-works ⟨p. 12⟩feigned by men, and put them in their place. The abuse of all things they earnestly rebuke.—
