Or do you really care to win?" "To win, please, O oracle, if it's all the same to you," Hilary said, supplication in his voice, although his eyes danced. Allys gave him a long look. "Then you must take Heathflower," she said. "I have the Wickliffe boy's word for it he wrote me only yesterday: 'Miss Allys, if you want to get wealthy, bet all your real money on that Heathflower thing." "H'm!
Was there any reason for the Wickliffe boy's unreason? Was there also any chance for him? there Adair stopped short, smiling a thought grimly to see how all unconsciously, all femininely, Allys drooped to Billy's upright, youthful strength. Hilary likewise noted it with a thumping heart that sent the color surging over his face.
This was six years after the death of Wickliffe, "the morning star of the reformation," who opposed the corruptions of the Papacy, gave the world the first English translation of the Bible, and sowed the seeds that soon grew and produced a Huss, a Jerome, and a Luther.
The common people of London, being greatly under the influence of the priests, were, of course, against Wickliffe, and they looked with evil eyes upon the Duke of Lancaster and the other nobles who had come there to befriend him. In the course of the trial, which it seems was not conducted in a very regular manner, the prelates and the nobles got into a dispute.
Well has the historian Fuller said, in reference to this subject, "The brook Swift did convey his ashes into Avon, the Avon into Severn, the Severn into the narrow seas, and they into the main ocean.

In due time I closed up my business at Leavenworth, and went to Lancaster, Ohio, where, in July, 1859, I received notice from Governor Wickliffe that I had been elected superintendent of the proposed college, and inviting me to come down to Louisiana as early as possible, because they were anxious to put the college into operation by the 1st of January following.
In a letter to the late governor Wickliffe of Kentucky, under date of Frankfort, September 7, 1840, he says: "I was at the head or right of my company, on horseback, waiting orders, at about fifty or sixty yards from the line of the enemy.
I looked back over history to the days of apostolic purity, followed the trend of theological thought in its decline into error and superstition, thru the dark ages, to the first glimmer of light in Wickliffe, followed by Huss, until the flame of the Reformation sprang up in Luther, Zwingli and Calvin, followed by Knox and Arminius; but Wesley was the end of knowledge, and wisdom died with him.
He was professor at the university of Prague, and early became acquainted with the writings of Wickliffe, whose doctrines he defended in his lectures and sermons. The care and attention he bestowed on his compositions exerted a decided and lasting influence on the language. The old Bohemian alphabet he arranged anew, and first settled the Bohemian orthography according to fixed principles.
