[725] The principal ones will be found in: T. Arnold, "Select English
Works of John Wyclif," Oxford, 1869-71, 3 vols. 8vo; F. D. Matthew, "The
English Works of Wyclif, hitherto unprinted," London, Early English Text
Society, 1880, 8vo. (Many of the pieces in this last collection are not
by Wyclif, but are the work of his followers. In the first, too, the
authenticity of some of the pieces is doubtful.) See also: "Wyclyffe's
Wycket, which he made in Kyng Richard's days the Second" (a famous
sermon on the Eucharist), Nuremberg, 1546, 4to; Oxford, ed. T. P.
Pantin, 1828.
[726] S. Berger, "La Bible francaise au moyen age," Paris, 1884, p. 120.
This version was circulated in England, and was recopied by English
scribes; a copy (incomplete) by an English hand is preserved in the
University Library at Cambridge; P. Meyer, "MSS. francais de Cambridge,"
in "Romania," 1886, p. 265.
[727] "The Holy Bible ... made from the Latin of the Vulgate, by John
Wycliffe and his followers," ed. by J. Forshall and Sir Fred. Madden,
Oxford, 1850, 2 vols. 4to. On the share of Wyclif, Hereford, &c., in the
work, see pp. vi, xvi, xvii, xx, xxiv. _Cf._ Maunde Thompson, "Wycliffe
Exhibition," London, 1884, p. xviii. The first version was probably
finished in 1382, the second in 1388 (by the care of John Purvey, a
disciple and friend of Wyclif).
[728] Labbe, "Sacrorum Conciliorum ... Collectio," vol. xxvi. col. 1038.
[729] "Select English Works," vol. iii. p. 100.
[730] "Select English Works," vol. ii. p. 296.
[731] _Ibid._, i. p. 189.
[732] _Ibid._, i. p. 381.
[733] His adversaries, perhaps exaggerating his sayings, attribute to
him declarations like the following: "Quod sacramentum illud visibile
est infinitum abjectius in natura, quam sit panis equinus, vel panis
ratonis; immo, quod verecundum est dicere vel audire, quod stercus
ratonis." "Fasciculi Zizaniorum," p. 108.
