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.
