Latimer bade adieu to the splendor of the palace and the vanity of the court, and entered im­mediately oh the duties of his parish; and wherever he observ­ed the pastoral duties neglected, thither he extended his labors on all sides, having for that particular purpose procured a ge­neral license from the university of Cambridge.

Latimer was a true bishop, for he not only labored for the salvation of his flock, watching over their faith and morals, but also over their temporal welfare and happiness; particularly he watched over the rights of the poor, that they might not be wronged by their rich and overbearing neighbors.

 The Life of Hugh Latimer (c.1490-1555)
HUGH LATIMER (c.1490-1555), English bishop, and one of the chief promoters of the Reformation in England, was born at Thurcaston, Leicestershire.
As the yeomen of England were then in comparatively easy circumstances, the practice of sending their sons to the universities was quite usual; indeed Latimer mentions that in the reign of Edward VI, on account of the increase of rents, the universities had begun wonderfully to decay.
This was perhaps, as regards England, the most critical conjuncture in the history of the Reformation, both on this account and on account of the position in which Henry VIII then stood related to it.
