The Age of the Reformation

CHAPTER I
65/1552

Indulgences are called a cursed robbery.
To combat the enemies of true piety Wyclif relied on two agencies.

The first was the Bible, which, with the assistance of friends, he Englished from the {38} Vulgate.

None of the later Reformers was more bent upon giving the Scriptures to the laity, and none attributed to it a higher degree of inspiration.

As a second measure Wyclif trained "poor priests" to be wandering evangelists spreading abroad the message of salvation among the populace.
