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.

For what shall I look for among Thorns but pricking and scratching? what among Stones but stumbling? what (I had almost said) among Serpents but stinging?
But thus much I dare say, that since ⟨p. 31⟩lording and loitering hath come up,1 preaching hath come down, contrary to the Apostles times, for they preached and lorded not; and now they lord and preach not.
