It is plain to me that our prelates, in granting indulgences, do commonly blaspheme the wisdom of God. John Wycliffe Read Quote
Men mark the passion of Christ, and print it on their heart somewhat to follow it. It was the most voluntary passion that ever was suffered, and the most painful. It was most voluntary, and so most meritorious. John Wycliffe Read Quote
No man is to be credited for his mere authority’s sake, unless he can show Scripture for the maintenance of his opinion. John Wycliffe Read Quote
We all are originally sinners as Adam and in Adam, his leprosy cleaving faster to us than Naaman’s did to Gahazai, so that even the infant, before it has seen the light of the world, has this blemish inherent in its unborn members. John Wycliffe Read Quote
Visit those who are sick, or who are in trouble, especially those whom God has made needy by age, or by other sickness, as the feeble, the blind, and the lame who are in poverty. These you shall relieve with your goods after your power and after their need, for thus biddeth the Gospel. John Wycliffe Read Quote
Belief fails when it works not well indeed but is idle as a sleeping man… Each virtuous deed is strong when it is grounded upon the solidity of belief. John Wycliffe Read Quote
It is certain that the truth of the Christian faith becomes more evident the more the faith itself is known. Therefore, the doctrine should not only be in Latin but also in the common tongue, and as the faith of the Church is contained in the Scriptures, the more these are known in the true sense, the better. John Wycliffe Read Quote
Private confession… was not ordered by Christ and was not used by the apostles. John Wycliffe Read Quote
Two places are ordained for man to dwell in after this life. While he is here, he may choose, by God’s mercy, which he will; but once he is gone from here, he may not do so. For whichever he first goes to, whether he like it well or ill, there he must dwell forevermore. He shall never after change his dwelling, though he hates it ever so badly. John Wycliffe Read Quote
Christ’s fishermen should not meddle with men’s law, for men’ s law contains sharp stones and trees by which the net of God is broken, and the fish wend out of the world. John Wycliffe Read Quote
