Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of John Wicliff; D. D: Compiled From Authentic Sources The name of John Wicliff is familiar to all who have any knowledge, however superficial, of English ecclesiastical history. As a light shining in darkness, he cannot be wholly overlooked, by even the most careless observer of past events. But though his name is well known, and some very indefinite notions of his character are generally entertained, yet the real history of the life and actions of England´s first reformer is, even among well-informed persons, but imperfectly understood. His biographers have generally been friendly to his reputation, and to some extent admirers of his character; but till lately their means of information were scanty and fallacious. Among the oldest of his biographies is "An Apology for Wicliff," by Dr. James, who had consulted only such of his manuscripts as could be found in the Bodleian Library. A Life of Wicliff, drawn from original sources, was undertaken by Mr. Lewis, - who styles himself "Minister of Meregate," - a little more than a century since; but he at the end confessed a want of adequate opportunity to examine his manuscripts. These two were, till within a few years, the only original works relative to the history of Wicliff; and from these, and the perverted accounts of Popish annalists and chroniclers, has been derived the history of the reformer, as found in ecclesiastical histories.
