Every righteous man is lord over the whole sensible world.

Quote from John Wycliffe, Morningstar of the reformation

I believe that in the end the truth will conquer.

John Wycliffe, Morningstar of the reformation

Sacred Scripture, which is the law of Christ, contains in itself all truth.  Since all law is truth it therefore contains in itself all law.

John Wycliffe, morningstar of the reformation

God gives His grace to whomever He wishes, and has predestined each individual, an eternity before birth, to be lost or saved through all eternity.  Good works do not win salvation, but they indicate that he who does them has received divine grace and is one of the elect.  We act according to the disposition that God has allotted to us; to invert Hericlitus, our fare is our character.

John Wycliffe, morning star of the reformation

God is soveriegn lord of us all.  The allegiance that we owe Him is direct, as is the oath of every Englishman to the king, not indirect through allegiance to a subordinate lord, as in feudal France.  Hence the relationship of man to God is direct, and requires no intermediary; any claim of Church or priest to be a necessary medium must be repelled.

John Wycliffe, morning star of the reformation

Since all charity begins at home, it would be the work not of charity but of fatuity to direct the alms of the Realm abroad when the Realm itself is in need of them.

John Wycliffe, morning star of the reformation

All Christian life is to be measured by Scripture; by every word thereof.
