Excerpt from Life and Times of John De Wycliffe The life of Wycliffe was devoted to one thing, and therefore was lacking in that variety of fact and incident, which gives to biography its chief attraction and interest. The record, however, is valuable as throwing light upon his times, and as revealing the necessity of that great Reformation for which he so intensely sighed and laboured. Brief as the narrative is, its simple perusal will convince the reader that the Popery of the nineteenth century 18 the same with the Popery of the fourteenth century; and will animate him, we trust, with a Spirit of grateful attachment to those Protestant and Scriptural principles for which Wycliffe and Luther so manfully contended.

Wycliffe was known as the MORNING STAR of the Reformation; a star rising upon a new day. Wickliffe (or Wycliffe) was born in 1330 AD and died in 1384. He attended Oxford University, receiving his doctorate in 1372. Most of his life was spent teaching at Oxford, and studying God’s Word in Oxford’s extensive library. He was a brilliant scholar who mastered the late medieval scholastic tradition, and was recognized by John of Guant (The Duke of Lancaster) as one who was extraordinarily gifted in theology and preaching. Not only was he an able clergyman, but he was also involved in state affairs. Wickliffe performed diplomatic duties for the crown, and wrote extensively on supporting civil government. This is one of the few biographies that exist on the life of Wickliffe.
