A49701	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. 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 soveraign) 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.	Latimer, Hugh, 1485?-1555.	1661 (1661)	Wing L576; ESTC R217646	45,387	134

well_o of_o you_o i_o will_v then_o speak_v well_o of_o you_o but_o london_n be_v never_o so_o ill_a as_o it_o be_v now_o in_o time_n past_a man_n be_v full_a of_o pity_n and_o compassion_n but_o now_o there_o be_v no_o pity_n day_n for_o in_o london_n their_o brother_n shall_v die_v in_o the_o street_n for_o cold_a he_o shall_v lie_v sick_a at_o the_o door_n between_o stock_n and_o stock_n i_o can_v tell_v what_o to_o call_v it_o and_o perish_v there_o for_o hunger_n be_v there_o any_o more_o unmercifulness_n in_o nebo_n i_o think_v not_o in_o time_n past_a cold_a when_o any_o rich_a man_n die_v in_o london_n they_o be_v wont_a to_o help_v the_o poor_a scholar_n of_o the_o university_n with_o exhibition_n when_o any_o man_n die_v they_o will_v bequeath_v great_a sum_n of_o money_n towards_o the_o relief_n of_o the_o poor_a when_o i_o be_v a_o scholar_n in_o cambridge_n myself_o i_o hear_v very_o good_a report_n of_o london_n and_o know_v many_o that_o have_v relief_n of_o the_o rich_a man_n of_o london_n but_o now_o i_o can_v hear_v no_o such_o good_a report_n and_o yet_o inquire_v of_o it_o and_o hearken_v for_o it_o but_o now_o charity_n be_v waxen_a cold_a none_o help_v the_o scholar_n nor_o yet_o the_o poor_a and_o in_o those_o day_n what_o do_v they_o when_o they_o help_v the_o scholar_n marry_o they_o maintain_v and_o give_v they_o living_n that_o be_v very_a papist_n and_o profess_v the_o pope_n doctrine_n shame_n and_o now_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n word_n be_v bring_v to_o light_n and_o many_o earnest_o study_v and_o labour_n to_o set_v it_o forth_o now_o almost_o no_o man_n help_v to_o maintain_v they_o o_o london_n london_n repent_v repent_v for_o i_o think_v god_n be_v more_o displease_v with_o london_n then_o ever_o he_o be_v with_o the_o city_n of_o nebo_n repent_v therefore_o repent_v london_n london_n and_o remember_v that_o the_o same_o god_n live_v now_o that_o punish_v nebo_n even_o the_o same_o god_n and_o none_o other_o and_o he_o will_v punish_v sin_n as_o well_o now_o as_o he_o do_v then_o and_o he_o will_v punish_v the_o iniquity_n of_o london_n as_o well_o as_o he_o do_v they_o of_o nebo_n amend_v therefore_o and_o you_o that_o be_v prelate_n look_v well_o to_o your_o office_n for_o right_a prelate_n be_v buisy_n labour_v and_o not_o lord_v therefore_o preach_v and_o teach_v and_o let_v your_o plough_n be_v go_v you_o lord_n i_o say_v that_o live_v like_o loiterer_n bishop_n look_v well_o to_o your_o office_n the_o plough_n be_v your_o office_n and_o charge_n if_o you_o live_v idle_a and_o loiter_v you_o do_v not_o your_o duty_n you_o follow_v not_o your_o vocation_n let_v your_o plough_n therefore_o be_v go_v and_o not_o cease_v that_o the_o ground_n may_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n but_o now_o i_o think_v i_o hear_v one_o say_v unto_o i_o wot_v you_o what_o you_o say_v be_v it_o a_o work_n be_v it_o a_o labour_n how_o then_o have_v it_o happen_v that_o we_o have_v have_v so_o many_o hundred_o year_n so_o many_o unpreach_a prelate_n lord_v loiterer_n and_o idle_a minister_n you_o will_v have_v i_o here_o to_o make_v answer_n and_o to_o show_v the_o cause_n hereof_o nay_o this_o land_n be_v not_o for_o i_o to_o plough_v it_o be_v too_o stony_a too_o thorny_a too_o hard_o for_o i_o to_o plow_n note_n they_o have_v so_o many_o thing_n that_o make_v for_o they_o so_o many_o thing_n to_o say_v for_o themselves_o that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o my_o weak_a team_n to_o plough_v they_o they_o have_v to_o say_v for_o themselves_o long_a custom_n ceremony_n &_o authority_n place_v in_o parliament_n and_o many_o thing_n more_o and_o i_o fear_v i_o this_o land_n be_v not_o yet_o ripe_a to_o be_v plough_v for_o as_o the_o say_n be_v former_o it_o lack_v wither_v this_o gear_n lack_v wither_v at_o leastwise_o it_o be_v not_o for_o i_o to_o plow_n for_o what_o shall_v i_o look_v for_o among_o thorn_n but_o prick_v and_o scratch_v what_o among_o stone_n but_o stumble_v what_o i_o have_v almost_o say_v among_o serpent_n but_o sting_a but_o thus_o much_o i_o dare_v say_v that_o since_o lord_v and_o loiter_v have_v come_v up_o note_n preach_v have_v come_v down_o contrary_a to_o the_o apostle_n time_n for_o they_o preach_v and_o lord_v not_o and_o now_o they_o lord_n and_o preach_v not_o for_o they_o that_o be_v lord_n will_v not_o go_v to_o plough_v it_o be_v no_o meet_a office_n for_o they_o it_o be_v not_o seem_v for_o their_o estate_n thus_o come_v up_o lord_v loiterer_n thus_o creep_v in_o un-preaching_a prelate_n and_o so_o have_v they_o long_v continue_v for_o how_o many_o unlearned_a prelate_n have_v we_o now_o at_o this_o day_n and_o no_o marvel_n for_o if_o the_o ploughman_n that_o now_o be_v be_v make_v lord_n they_o will_v clean_o give_v over_o plough_v they_o will_v leave_v off_o their_o labour_n and_o fall_v to_o lord_v too_o outright_o and_o the_o ploughstand_v and_o then_o both_o plows_v not_o walk_v nothing_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o common-weal_n but_o hunger_n for_o ever_o since_o the_o prelate_n be_v make_v lord_n and_o noble_n the_o plough_n stand_v there_o be_v no_o work_n do_v the_o people_n starve_v they_o hawk_n they_o hunt_v they_o card_v they_o dice_n they_o pastime_n in_o their_o prelacy_n with_o gallant_a gentleman_n with_o their_o dance_a minion_n and_o with_o their_o fresh_a companion_n so_o that_o plough_v be_v set_v aside_o and_o by_o their_o lord_v and_o loiter_v preach_v and_o plough_v be_v clean_o go_v and_o thus_o if_o the_o ploughman_n in_o the_o country_n be_v as_o negligent_a in_o their_o office_n as_o prelate_n be_v we_o shall_v not_o long_o live_v for_o lack_v of_o sustenance_n but_o they_o that_o will_v be_v true_a ploughman_n must_v work_v faithful_o for_o gods-sake_n for_o the_o edify_n of_o their_o brethren_n and_o as_o diligent_o as_o the_o husbandman_n plow_v for_o the_o sustentation_n of_o the_o body_n so_o diligent_o must_v the_o prelate_n and_o minister_n labour_v for_o the_o feed_n of_o the_o soul_n both_o the_o plough_n must_v be_v still_o go_v as_o most_o necessary_a for_o man_n and_o wherefore_o be_v magistrate_n ordain_v but_o that_o the_o tranquillity_n of_o the_o common-weal_n may_v be_v confirm_v limit_v both_o plough_n but_o now_o for_o the_o fault_n of_o unpreach_v prelate_n me-think_a i_o can_v guess_v what_o may_v be_v say_v for_o excuse_v of_o they_o they_o be_v so_o trouble_v with_o lordly_a live_n they_o be_v so_o place_v in_o palace_n couch_v in_o court_n ruffle_v in_o their_o rent_n note_n dance_v in_o their_o dominion_n burden_v with_o ambassage_n pamper_a of_o their_o paunch_n like_o a_o monk_n that_o make_v his_o jubilee_n munch_v in_o their_o manger_n and_o moil_a in_o their_o gay_a manor_n and_o mansion_n and_o so_o trouble_v with_o loiter_v in_o their_o lordship_n that_o they_o can_v attend_v it_o they_o be_v otherwise_o occupy_v some_o in_o king_n matter_n some_o be_v ambassador_n some_o of_o the_o privy_a counsel_n some_o to_o furnish_v the_o court_n some_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o parliament_n some_o be_v precedent_n and_o comptroller_n of_o mint_n well_o well_o be_v this_o their_o duty_n be_v this_o their_o office_n be_v this_o their_o call_n shall_v we_o have_v minister_n of_o the_o church_n to_o be_v comptroller_n of_o the_o mint_n be_v this_o a_o meet_a office_n for_o a_o priest_n that_o have_v cure_v of_o soul_n be_v this_o his_o charge_n i_o will_v here_o ask_v one_o question_n i_o will_v fain_o know_v who_o control_v the_o devil_n at_o home_n at_o his_o parish_n while_o he_o comptrol_v the_o mint_n if_o the_o apostle_n may_v not_o leave_v the_o office_n of_o preach_v to_o be_v deacon_n shall_v one_o leave_v it_o for_o mint_v in_o this_o behalf_n i_o must_v speak_v to_o england_n hear_v my_o country_n england_n as_o paul_n say_v in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n chapt_n 6._o for_o paul_n be_v no_o sit_v bishop_n but_o a_o walk_a and_o a_o preach_a bishop_n but_o when_o he_o go_v from_o they_o he_o leave_v there_o behind_o he_o the_o plough_n go_v still_o for_o he_o write_v unto_o they_o and_o rebuke_v they_o for_o go_v to_o law_n and_o plead_v their_o cause_n before_o heathen_a judge_n i_o speak_v say_v he_o to_o your_o shame_n be_v there_o not_o a_o wiseman_n etc._n etc._n so_o england_n i_o speak_v it_o to_o thy_o shame_n be_v there_o never_o a_o noble_a
