	John Wycliffe
		John Wycliffe (1320-1384) was a theologian and early proponent of reform in the Roman Catholic Church during the 14th century.
		Wycliffe was still regarded by the Roman Catholic Church as trustworthy; his opposition to the ruling conduct of the Church may have escaped notice.
		Wycliffe's first encounter with the official Church of his time was prompted by his zeal in the interests of the State, his first tracts and greater works of ecclesiastical-political content defended the privileges of the State, and from these sources developed a strife out of which the next phases could hardly be determined.

	Wycliffe
		Wycliffe spent much of his life in Oxford: he gained his BA in 1356, his BD in 1369, and his DD in 1372 -- although his studies were interrupted for two years by official business.
		In 1361 Wycliffe became rector in the church of Fillingham, in Lincolnshire, which meant technically that he was its pastor, but which meant in fact (as was the custom in those days) that he received the income from that parish while he could continue his studies and work in Oxford.
		Wycliffe was the first in centuries to teach the absolute authority of the Scriptures, over against the Romish error of the authority of the church.

	John Wycliffe
		John of Gaunt was for the moment in retirement; but the mother of the young king appears to have adopted his policy in church affairs, and she naturally occupied a chief position in the new council.
		Wycliffe's affirmative judgment is contained in a state paper still extant; and its tone is plain proof enough of his confidence that his views on the main question of church and state had the support of the nation.
		Wycliffe thus passed from an assailant of the papal to an assailant of the sacerdotal power; and in this way he was ultimately led to examine and to reject the distinctive symbol of that power, the doctrine of transubstantiation.

		In 1372 Wycliffe was appointed, by the Chancellor and Regents of the University Professor of Divinity.
		Wycliffe's doctrines gave so much offence to the clergy of the Romish Church, that in 1377 he was summoned to appear before a convocation which met in St. Paul's Cathedral in London, to answer for his heresies; but the assembly broke up in confusion without taking measures against him.

	Wycliffe, John
		John Wycliffe was born sometime between 1320-1330 A.D. in Yorkshire, England.
		John 8:32 says, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Verse 36 says "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed." The people living in these times did not know the truth, because they did not have God's Word.
