If ye will not thus be vexed, be ye not the children of the
world. If ye will not be the children of the world, be not stricken with
the love of worldly things; lean not upon them. If ye will not die
eternally, live not worldly. Come, go to; leave the love of your profit;
study for the glory and profit of Christ; seek in your consultations such
things as pertain to Christ, and bring forth at the last somewhat that
may please Christ. Feed ye tenderly, with all diligence, the flock of
Christ. Preach truly the word of God. Love the light, walk in the
light, and so be ye the children of light while ye are in this world,
that ye may shine in the world that is to come bright as the sun, with
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; to whom be all honour, praise,
and glory. Amen.
A SERMON OF THE REVEREND FATHER MASTER HUGH LATIMER, PREACHED IN THE
SHROUDS AT ST. PAUL'S CHURCH IN LONDON, ON THE EIGHTEENTH DAY OF JANUARY,
ANNO 1548.

"All things which are written, are written for our erudition and
knowledge. All things that are written in God's book, in the Bible
book, in the book of the holy scripture, are written to be our
doctrine.
