Synopsis

Excerpt from Wycliffe: An Historical Study

A career like Wycliffe's should never be forgotten by men who speak the English tongue, and love the thing called British liberty. He was such a splendid Englishman, such a splendid scholar, and, above all, such a splendid Christian. It does one good in these modern days to freshen up ones knowledge of the man and his work. Though dead and gone over 500 years, one cannot read of his day and doings without getting a clearer vision of the needs and questions of this twentieth century, and the present-day problems of the Church. Like the wave pulses that go on and on and on, the influences of his epoch-making life are still spreading with most persistent force. John Wycliffe being dead, yet speaketh.

I have endeavored to verify with the utmost care every quotation, reference, and historic fact.

My chief authorities have been: Greens History of the English People; Fisher, D'Aubigne Blunt, Beckett, Geikie, Massingberd, on the Reformation; Wylies History of Protestantism; the wellknown works on Wycliffe, such as The Religious Tract Societys, Burrows, Varley, Pennington, Poole, S. G. Green, Le Bas, Sergeant, Carrick; and, above all, the great works of the German writers, Professor Lechler, of the University of Leipsic, and Professor Loserth, of the University of Czernowitz. For the quotations and references I have also used the writings of Wycliffe by the Religious Tract Society, the English works of Wycliffe, by F. D. Matthew, and, above all, the invaluable editions of his Latin works by the Wyclif Society, especially the de Eucharistia, de Ecclesia, de Veritate Sacrae Scripturae, and the Opus Evangelicum.
