Mr. LATIMER'S LETTER to Mr. MORRIS, concerning the Articles written, which were falsely laid against him.
Mr. LATIMER'S LETTER to Mr. MORRICE, concerning the Articles written, which were falsely laid against him.
RIGHT worshipful, and mine own good master Morris, health in Christ Jesus. And I thank you for all hearty kindness, not only heretofore showed unto me, but also that now of late you would vouchsafe to write unto me so poor a wretch, to my great comfort among all these my troubles. I trust and doubt nothing in it, but God will reward you for me, and abundantly supply mine inability, &c. Mr. Morris, you would wonder to know how I have been treated at Bristol, I mean by some of the priests, who first desired me, welcomed me, made me cheer, heard what I said, and allowed my saying in all things while I was with them; when I was gone home to my benefice, perceiving that the people favoured me so greatly, and that the mayor had appointed me to preach at Easter, privily they procured an inhibition for all them that had not the bishop's license, which they knew well enough I had not, and so craftily defeated master mayor's appointment, pretending they were sorry for it, procuring certain preachers to rail against me, as Hubberdin and Powell, with others, whom when I had brought before the mayor, and the wise council of the town, to know what they could lay to my charge, wherefore they so declaimed against me, they said they spake as they were informed: however no man could be brought forth that could stand to any thing: so that they had place and time to belie me shamefully, but they had no place or time to lay to my charge when I was present and ready to make them answer. God amend them, and assuage their malice, that they have against the truth and me, &c.
