Credits: Transcribed from the 1883 Cassell & Co. edition by David Price
Summary: "Sermons on the Card and Other Discourses" by Hugh Latimer is a collection of sermons from the early 16th century. Latimer, who emerged as a significant figure in the English Reformation, uses his eloquence to tackle moral and spiritual issues, guiding his audience toward the tenets of Christian duty with simplicity and earnestness. This text reflects his transition from traditional Catholic views to a reformed focus, illustrating his commitment to promoting a deeper understanding of Christian principles. At the start of the discourse, Latimer recounts his early life and journey through education and faith, showcasing how a formative encounter with Thomas Bilney shifted his perspective towards Reformation ideas. He then introduces his "Sermons on the Card," where he ingeniously draws parallels between card-playing, a popular Christmas pastime, and spiritual truths. Through relatable analogies, he explores themes such as the seriousness of sin and the nature of Christian duty, urging individuals to reflect on their moral standing before God and their responsibilities to others. His powerful rhetoric not only captivates attention but also prompts self-examination among his listeners, setting the stage for a thoughtful exploration of faith and righteousness.
