Readings from the works of great preachers from 1500 to the present day
1-Hugh Latimer's Sermon of the Plough, preached outside St. Paul's Cathedral in 1548 Read by Basil Taylor
Hugh Latimer , the son of a Leicestershire yeoman-farmer, was born about 1485. He went to Cambridge at the age of fourteen and. after taking Priest's Orders, he was licensed, with twelve others, to preach in any part of England. At a period of political upheaval and religious controversy his outspoken sermons involved him in a charge of heresy; but he recanted and in 1535, was consecrated Bishop of Worcester. He resigned in 1539 because he could not support the Act of the Six Articles and was kept in custody for a year. His famous Sermon of the Plough was preached outside St. Paul's Cathedral in 1548 when. on the accession of Edward VI, he began preaching again after a silence of eight years. On Mary's accession he was thrown into the Tower as a heretic and in 1555, with Ridley, Bishop of London, was'burned at the stake at Oxford
