The Sermons of Hugh Latimer is an essential resource for anyone interested in the English Reformation. Along with Thomas Cranmer and Nicholas Ridley, Hugh Latimer was one of the three bishops known as the Oxford Martyrs. Though a onetime Roman Catholic bishop, Latimer was convinced of the need for a reformation. He preached strongly in support of an English translation of the Bible. Latimer, who was chaplain to Edward VI, was imprisoned for his preaching when Edward’s sister Mary took the throne. Tried and convicted of heresy, Latimer was burned at the stake alongside Nicholas Ridley (Cranmer was burned later). His last words before the fire was lit were to Ridley. “Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.”
The collection contains Latimer’s sermons, letters, and miscellaneous doctrinal documents. The text is fully searchable, allowing you to jump to any particular section.
