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

the_o child_n of_o light_n which_o thing_n be_v true_a in_o christ_n time_n and_o now_o in_o our_o time_n it_o be_v most_o true_a who_o be_v so_o blind_a but_o he_o see_v this_o clear_o except_o

which_o thing_n i_o pray_v god_n they_o do_v as_o earnest_o as_o they_o ought_v but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v lest_o as_o light_n have_v many_o of_o her_o child_n here_o so_o the_o world_n have_v
