In a lane leading from the station at Addlestone is a massive oak, which, if the gossips of the neighbourhood be trustworthy, has seen some notable sights. It is said that under its far-reaching branches "Wycliffe has preached and Queen Elizabeth dined." Here one summer evening I first heard Mr. Spurgeon preach.
And her mother is an Arundel." "Ay as mecounteth you shall see, one day." "Doth not the doctrine of Sir John de Wycliffe like, him well?" "Time will show," said Bertram, drily. It was quite true that Archbishop Arundel had for some two years been throwing dust in Lollard eyes by plausible professions of conversion to some of the views of that party.
The cautious scriptorius, who never broke bread with Wycliffe, and declined to decide upon his great or small position, was quoting his Bible word for word. Hugh looked up in Wilfred's face, with the expression of one who had at last found somebody to understand him. "Father," he said, "did you ever doubt of every thing?" "Ay," said Wilfred, quietly. "Even of God's love? yea, even of God?" "Ay."
It is to be observed, however, that Wycliffe himself limited his arguments strictly to the property of the clergy. See Milman's History of Latin Christianity, Vol. V. p. 508. Walsingham, p. 275, apud Lingard. 5 Ric. II. cap. 5 Wilkins, Concilia, III. 160-167. De Heretico comburendo. 2 Hen. IV. cap. 15. Stow, 330, 338. Rot. Parl.
"Perhaps you should have chosen a more disinterested judge, Miss Wycliffe," he returned; "but you were right at least in feeling that you could come to me as to a friend. In fact, I was thinking of coming to you, perhaps not altogether as a mere friend but let that go now. Why should n't one who would have been something nearer, if it had been possible, be at least that?
About two hours later, Leigh descended from the billiard-room, where he had been playing an inattentive and indifferent game with one of his colleagues, and encountered Bishop Wycliffe coming into the hall from the library in company with his host and Anthony Cobbens.
He knew, in a word, that Wycliffe was regarded as a heretic; and yet he deliberately defended Wycliffe's teaching. It is this that justifies us in calling him a Protestant, and this that caused the Catholics to call him a heretic. John Hus, moreover, knew what the end would be. If he stood to his guns they would burn him, and burned he longed to be.
She broke off, attracted by the unusual manner of the maid, whose hand, as she placed a plate before her mistress, shook violently, so that she overturned a glass of wine. Miss Wycliffe glanced up, surprised at this awkwardness in one usually so adroit, and pushed back her chair to avoid the crimson stain that was slowly spreading toward the edge of the table.
"That evil one Wycliffe, being taught of the devil, hath rendered the holy words of the Latin into pernicious heresy in English." "I pray you then, father, will you give me the book in Latin, for I wis a little the Latin tongue, and moreover I can learn of one that hath the tongues to wit better the same." This was not by any means what Arundel intended, and it raised his anger.
When Froissart was writing French history, and Joinville his delightful chronicles; when Chaucer and Wycliffe were gayly and gravely making play with the monks and priests, the only names known in Germany were those of the mystics, Eckhart and Tauler. When the time came, however, Germany was defiantly individualist in Luther, and Protestantism was thoroughly German.
