The Sum and Effect of Bishop GARDINER'S Sermon, preached before king Edward, Anno 1550.
MOST honourable audience, I purpose, by the grace of God, to declare some part of the gospel that is accustomably used to be read in the church at this day. And because that without the special grace of God, neither can I speak any thing to your edifying, nor ye receive the same accordingly, I shall desire you all that we may jointly pray all together for the assistance of his grace. In which prayer I commend to Almighty God your most excellent majesty, our sovereign lord king of England, France, and Ireland, and of the church of England and Ireland, next and immediately under God here on earth, the supreme head; queen Catharine dowager, my lady Mary's grace, my lady Elizabeth's grace, your majesty's most dear sister's; my lord protector's grace, with all others of your most honourable council, the spirituality and temporality; and I shall desire you to commend unto God with prayer, the souls departed unto God in Christ's faith, and amongst these, most especially, our late sovereign lord king Henry VIII. your majesty's most noble father. For these and for grace necessary, I shall desire you to say a Pater Noster, and so forth.
The GOSPEL beginneth, Matt. xvi.13, 14, 15, 16.
