Howbeit there is now very good hope that the king's majesty,
being of the help of good governance of his most honourable counsellors
trained and brought up in learning, and knowledge of God's word, will
shortly provide a remedy, and set an order herein; which thing that it
may so be, let us pray for him. Pray for him, good people; pray for him.
Ye have great cause and need to pray for him.
A SERMON ON THE PARABLE OF A KING THAT MARRIED HIS SON, MADE BY MASTER
LATIMER.
MATTHEW XXII. [2,3.]
_Simile factum est regnum coelorum homini regi qui fecit nuptias filio
suo_.
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which married his
son, and sent forth his servants to call them that, &c.
This is a gospel that containeth very much matter; and there is another
like unto this in the fourteenth of Luke: but they be both one in effect,
for they teach both one thing; and therefore I will take them both in
hand together, because they tend to one purpose. Matthew saith, "The
kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which married his son;"
Luke saith, "A certain man ordained a great supper:" but there is no
difference in the very substance of the matter, for they pertain to one
purpose.
