Know you not how nurse Joan used to tell us of the burning of the Lollard books?" "Nay, nay, Stevie, this is no heresy. 'Tis such work as the great scholar, Master Erasmus, is busied on ay, and he is loved and honoured by both the Archbishops and the King's grace! Ask Tibble Steelman what he thinks thereof."

A few years later they complained that the followers of Wyclif abounded everywhere and in all classes, among the baronage, in the cities, among the peasantry of the countryside, even in the monastic cell itself. "Every second man one meets is a Lollard."
Fears of Lollard disturbances soon recalled him, but these died at the king's presence, and Richard was able to devote himself to the negotiation of a marriage which was to be the turning-point of his reign. His policy throughout the recent years had been a policy of peace.
It would be an excellent thing in his eyes to show how mine own children had stood up to defend a Lollard heretic. I would we knew something more anent this man and his views. "Warbel, didst thou know him? Is he anyone known in and about Chad?" "I never saw his face before, sir," answered Warbel. "I know not so much as his name. I had thought of making some inquiries of the village folks.
"I cry you mercy, holy mother," answered Margery, quietly, "I have allied myself unto no man. I know not a Lollard in the realm. Only I read that book and that book, as you must needs wit, holy mother, containeth the words of the Lord Jesu. Is there hurt therein?" The Prioress did not directly answer this question. "Is it a temptation?" replied Margery.
It forbade the publication or use of unauthorised translations, and in the circumstances of the time, when the Lollard heretics were strong and were endeavouring to win over the people to their views by disseminating corrupt versions of the Scripture, such a prohibition is not unintelligible.
Is it not rather matter for thee thee by thyself, beyond all priests that be? "Nay, in very deed, Custance, thou art a Lollard, else hadst thou never spoken no such a thing!" "What, be Lollards the only men that have a care for their own souls? But be it as thou wilt what will it matter then? Isabel, in good sooth I have sins enough to answer for, neither will I by my good-will add thereto.
The Hamiltons merely looked to their own advancement; Lord James Stewart was bound to the Congregation; Huntly was a double dealer and was remote; the minor noblesse and the armed burghers, with Glencairn representing the south-west, Lollard from of old, were attached to Knox's doctrines, while the mob would flock in to destroy and plunder.
The most important points to note during James's English captivity are the lawlessness and oppression which prevailed in Scotland, and the beginning of Lollard heresies, nascent Protestantism, nascent Socialism, even "free love."
