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.

In times past,1 when any rich men died in London, they were wont to help the poor Scholars of the Universities with exhibition. When any man died, they would bequeath great sums of money toward the relief of the poor. When I was a Scholar in Cambridge my self, I heard very good report of London, and knew many that had relief of the rich men of London, but now I can hear no such good report, and yet inquire of it, and hearken for it; but now charity is waxen cold, none helpeth the Scholar, nor yet the poor.
