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

these_o word_n you_o shall_v understand_v that_o i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o speak_v against_o the_o strength_n policy_n and_o provision_n of_o a_o king_n but_o against_o excess_n and_o vain_a trust_n that_o king_n have_v in_o themselves_o more_o than_o in_o the_o live_a god_n the_o author_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o giver_n of_o all_o victory_n many_o horse_n be_v requisite_a for_o a_o king_n but_o he_o may_v not_o exceed_v in_o they_o nor_o triumph_n in_o they_o more_o than_o be_v needful_a for_o the_o necessary_a affair_n and_o defence_n of_o the_o realm_n what_o mean_v it_o that_o god_n have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o king_n stable_a but_o only_o he_o will_v be_v master_n of_o his_o horse_n the_o scripture_n say_v in_o altis_fw-la habitat_fw-la he_o dwell_v on_o high_a it_o follow_v humilia_fw-la respicit_fw-la he_o look_v on_o the_o low_a thing_n yea_o upon_o the_o king_n stable_n and_o upon_o all_o the_o office_n in_o his_o house_n god_n be_v a_o great_a grand_a master_n of_o the_o king_n house_n this_o and_o will_v take_v account_n of_o every_o one_o that_o bear_v rule_v therein_o for_o the_o execute_n of_o their_o office_n whether_o they_o have_v just_o and_o true_o serve_v the_o king_n in_o their_o office_n or_o no._n yea_o god_n look_v upon_o the_o king_n himself_o if_o he_o work_v well_o or_o not_o every_o king_n be_v subject_a unto_o god_n and_o all_o other_o man_n be_v subject_n unto_o the_o king_n in_o a_o king_n god_n require_v faith_n not_o excess_n of_o horse_n horse_n for_o a_o king_n be_v good_a and_o necessary_a if_o they_o be_v well_o use_v but_o neither_o shall_v he_o multiply_v wife_n etc._n etc._n let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o because_o we_o read_v that_o king_n among_o the_o jew_n have_v liberty_n to_o take_v more_o wife_n than_o one_o that_o we_o may_v therefore_o attempt_v to_o walk_v inordinate_o for_o christ_n have_v forbid_v this_o unto_o we_o christian_n and_o limit_v unto_o we_o one_o wife_n only_o and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o rule_v one_o wife_n right_o and_o ordinate_o for_o a_o woman_n be_v frail_a and_o proclive_a unto_o all_o evil_n a_o woman_n be_v a_o very_a weak_a vessel_n and_o may_v soon_o deceive_v a_o man_n and_o bring_v he_o into_o evil_n many_o example_n we_o have_v in_o scripture_n adam_n by_o eve_n how_o do_v wicked_a jezebel_n therefore_o let_v our_o king_n what_o time_n his_o grace_n shall_v be_v so_o mind_v to_o take_v a_o wife_n choose_v he_o one_o which_o be_v of_o god_n that_o be_v which_o be_v of_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o she_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o king_n can_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o love_n and_o lead_v his_o life_n in_o pure_a and_o chaste_a espousage_n and_o then_o shall_v he_o be_v the_o more_o prone_a and_o ready_a to_o advance_v god_n glory_n and_o to_o punish_v and_o extirp_v the_o great_a lechery_n use_v in_o this_o realm_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o make_v a_o continual_a prayer_n unto_o god_n duty_n for_o to_o grant_v our_o king_n grace_n such_o a_o mate_n as_o may_v knit_v his_o heart_n and_o she_o according_a to_o god_n ordinance_n and_o law_n and_o not_o to_o consider_v and_o cleave_v only_o to_o a_o politic_a matter_n or_o conjunction_n for_o the_o enlargeing_n of_o dominion_n for_o surety_n and_o defence_n of_o country_n we_o have_v now_o a_o pretty_a little_a

shall_v increase_v and_o righteousness_n be_v maintain_v notwithstanding_o i_o know_v hereafter_o some_o will_v come_v and_o move_v your_o grace_n towards_o wantonness_n and_o to_o the_o inclination_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o vain_a affection_n but_o i_o will_v your_o grace_n will_v bear_v in_o memory_n and_o history_n of_o a_o good_a king_n call_v lewis_n that_o travel_v towards_o the_o holy_a

accomplish_v the_o same_o if_o he_o have_v chance_v well_o they_o will_v have_v excuse_v the_o matter_n as_o i_o have_v hear_v one_o be_v reproach_v for_o such_o counsel_n give_v he_o excuse_v the_o

gold_n and_o silver_n be_v there_o too_o much_o think_v you_o for_o a_o king_n god_n do_v allow_v much_o unto_o a_o king_n and_o it_o be_v expedient_a that_o he_o shall_v have_v much_o for_o he_o

if_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a he_o may_v lawful_o and_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n take_v tax_n of_o his_o subject_n for_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v but_o who_o shall_v see_v this_o too_o much_o

they_o be_v of_o his_o closet_n and_o keep_v close_o such_o matter_n but_o the_o king_n himself_o must_v see_v this_o too_o much_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v do_v by_o no_o mean_n with_o corporal_a
