As for example (sayeth he, looking toward the Friar that sate over against him) when they paint a fox preaching out of a Friars coal, none is so mad to take this to be a Fox that preacheth, but know well enough the meaning of the matter, which is to paint out unto us, ⟨p. 1735⟩what hypocrisy, craft and subtle dissimulation lieth hid many times in these Friars cowls, willing us thereby to beware of them. In fine, Friar Bucknham with this Sermon was so dashed, that never after he durst peep out of the pulpit against M. Latimer.
As for example (sayeth he, lookyng toward the Frier that sate ouer agaynst hym) when they paynt a foxe preachyng out of a Friers coule, none is so madde to take this to be a Foxe that preacheth, but knowe well enough the meanyng of the matter, which is to paynte out vnto vs, ⟨p. 1735⟩what hypocrisie, craft and subtile dissimulation lyeth hid many tymes in these Friers coules, willyng vs thereby to beware of them. In fine, Frier Bucknham wyth this Sermon was so dashed, that neuer after hee durst peepe out of the pulpit agaynst M. Latymer.
1Besides this Bucknham there was also another railing Friar, not of the same coat, but of the same note and faction, a grey Friar and a Doctor, an outlandish man called D. Uenetus, who likewise in his brawling sermons, railed and raged against M. Latimer, calling him a mad and brainless man, and willing the people not to believe him, &c. To whom M. Latimer answering again, taketh for his ground the words of our Saviour Christ, Math. 5.2 Thou shalt not kill, &c. but I say unto you, who so ever is angry with his neighbour shall be in danger of judgement: and who so ever shall say unto his Neighbour Racha (or any other like words of rebuking, as brainless) shall be in danger of counsel: And who so ever shall say to his neighbour fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. &c.
