Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sermons on the Card and Other Discourses
With homely earnestness Latimer began soon to express his new convictions. His zeal and purity of life had caused him to.be trusted by the University as a maintainer of old ways he.had been appointed cross-bearer to the University, and elected one of the twelve preachers annually appointed in obedi ence to a bull of Pope Alexander VI. Now Latimer walked and worked with Bilney, visiting the sick and the prisoners, and reasoning together of the needs of Christendom., The Bishop of the diocese presently forbade Latimer's preaching in any of the pulpits of the University. Robert Barnes, prior of the Augustinian Friars at Cambridge, a man stirred to.the depths by the new movement of thought, then invited Latimer to preach in the church of the Augustinians. Latimer was next summoned before Wolsey, whom he satisfied so well that Wolsey overruled the Bishops inhibition, and Latimer again became a free preacher in Cambridge.
