Christ, a Great King
John 19:15
But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your King?…


Latimer, while preaching one day before Henry VIII., stood up in the pulpit, and seeing the king, addressed himself in a kind of soliloquy, thus: "Latimer, Latimer, Latimer, take care of what you say, for the great King Henry VIII. is here." Then he paused, and proceeded: "Latimer, Latimer, Latimer, take care what you say, for the great King of kings is here."

(W. Baxendale.)
