king Edward the third succeeded hys sonnes sonne Richard the second beying yet but yong, of the age of eleuen yeares: who in the same yeare of his fathers   decease w^t great pompe and solemnitie was crowned at Westminster, an 1377. who following his fathers steppes, was nogreat disfauorer of the way & doctrine of Wickliffe: albeit at the first beginning, partly through the iniquitie of tyme, partly through the popes letters, he could not doe that he would. Nothwithstāding something he did in that behalf, more perhaps then in the end he had thanke for of the Papistes, as more (by the grace of Christ) shall appeare. But as times do chaunge, so changeth commonly the cause and state of man. The bishop nowe seeing the aged king to be taken away, during þ^e time of whose olde age all þ^e gouernment of the realme depended vpon the Duke of Lancaster. And now the sayd Byshops agayne seeing the said Duke, with the Lord Percy, the Lord marshall to geue ouer their offices, and to remayne in their priuate houses without intermedling, thought now the time to serue them, MarginaliaThe bishops take vātage of tyme.to haue some vauntange against Iohn Wickliffe, who hetherto vnder the protectiō of the foresayd Duke, and Lord Marshall had some rest and quiet. Concerning the story of whiche Wickliffe, I trust (gentle reader) it is not out of thy memory what went before pag. 427. how he being brought before the Byshops, by the meanes of the Duke and Lord Henry Percy, the councell was interrupted, and brake before ix. of the clocke. By reason whereof, Wickliffe at that tyme escaped without anye further trouble. Who not withstanding being by the bishops forbid to deale in that doctrine any more, continued yet with his fellowes going barefoot, and in long frise gownes preaching dilligentlye vnto the people. Out of whose sermons these articles most chiefelye at that time were collected.

MarginaliaThe first article collected out of Wickliffes sermons.  

That the holy Eucharist after consecration, is not the very body of Christ, but figurally.

That the church of Rome, is not the head of all churches more then any other churche is: Nor that Peter hath anye more power geuen of Christ, then anye other Apostle hath.

Item, that the Pope of Rome hath no more in the keyes of the Church, then hath any other within the order of Priesthoode.

Item, if God be: the Lordes temporall may lawfullye and meretoriously take away theyr temporalties from the churchmen offending, habitualiter.

Item, if any temporall Lord doe know the Churche so offending, he is bound vnder payne of damnation, to take the temporalties from the same.

Item, that the Gospell is a rule sufficient of it selfe to rule the life of euery chistian mau here, without any other rule.

Item, þ^t all other rules vnder whose obseruances, diuers religious persōs be gouerned, do ad no more perfection to the gospell, then doth the white colour to the wall.

Item, that neyther the Pope nor any other Prelate of the church, ought to haue prisons wherin to punish transgressours.

MarginaliaThe articles of Iohn Wickliffe sent to the Pope. Pope Gregory the xj. Beside these articles, diuers other conclusions afterward were gathered out of hys writings and preachings by the byshops of England, which they sent diligently to Pope Gregory at Rome: Where the sayde articles being red and perused, were condemned for hereticall and erroneous by 23.

In the meane time the Archb. of Cant. sending foorth hys citations, as is aforesayd: called before hym the sayde Iohn Wickliffe in the presence of the Duke of Lancaster, and Lord Percy, who vpon the declaration of the Popes letters made, bound him to silence, forbidding him not to entreat any more of those matters. But then through the disturbaunce of the Bishop of London and the Duke, and lord Percy that matter was soone dispatched, as hath bene aboue recorded, pag. 427. And all thys was done, in the daies & last yere of king Edward the 3. and pope Gregory the eleuenth.
