[Footnote 45: Anthony a Wood, referring to the
alleged resolution of the University of Oxford in
favour of Wickliff and his doctrines, refers to
this Bishop Hallam, though with some mistake. "The
prime broacher," he says, "of this testimonial, of
which we have nothing in our registers, records, or
books of epistles, was John Husse in the first tome
of his works, and from him John Fox. Against the
former of whom it was objected in the Council of
Constance, that he had openly divulged the said
commendatory letter in behalf of John Wickliff,
falsely conveyed to Prague, under the title of the
University of Oxford, by two students, one a
Bohemian, the other an Englishman. Whereupon those
of England who were present at the council, of
whom, if I mistake not, Robert Hallam, about these
times Bishop of Oxford [Salisbury], was one,
produce another letter under the seal of the
University, wherein, on the contrary, the members
thereof as much denounce against him as the other
was in behalf of him, and referred the matter to
the council to judge of it as they thought fit; but
how it was decided I find not."]
