Excerpt from Iohannis Wyclif Sermones, Vol. 3: Now First Edited From The Manuscripts With Critical And Historical Notes; Super Epistolas The great importance which we attributed to the second volume of the Sermons extends to those contained in the third. Both are chiefly occupied with combating the abuses of the Church and the usurpations of the hierarchy, especially of the Papacy and the Friars, which, as Wyclif insists, have no foundation in Holy Scripture; and With the emphatic demand that the prosperity of the Church may be restored by a return to the state of the apostolic age.

Excerpt from Iohannis Wyclif Sermones, Vol. 2: Now First Edited From The Manuscripts, With Critical And Historical Notes; Super Evangelia De Sanctis The present part contains the most interesting and important of all Wyclif's Latin sermons. Judging only from the other parts, the great effect which Wyclif's sermons produced upon both his followers and his antagonists, would be almost inexplicable, for they consist almost entirely of expositions of the sacred text and of philosophical disquisitions, and it is only here and there that Wyclif's contest with the life and doctrine of the hierarchy of his day comes into prominence. It does so however in the present volume. Here the political and ecclesiastical convictions, which were the ruling ideas of the last four years of Wyclif's life, are very forcibly expressed. Almost every sermon contains some portion of Wyclif's violent contest with the monks, of which we also hear from his contemporaries, who describe the ferment produced by him amongst the English clergy, and to some extent amongst the nation at large. More will not be attempted in this Introduction, than very briefly to indicate the contents of the volume, and to point out wherein lies its significance. The first sermon is a clue to the character of the whole collection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
