Wycliffe had many favourers, even of the Nobility, as well as of the lower sort. His special favourers were these: John Clenbone, 1Lewes Clifford, Richard Sturmes, Thomas Latimer, William Nevell, John Mountague, which plucked down all the Images in his Church. Beside all these, was the Earle of Salisbury, who for contempt in him noted toward the Sacrament, in carrying it home to his house, was enjoined by Badulph Ergon, Bishop of Salisbury,2 to make in Salisbury a cross of stone: in the which all the story of the matter should be written: and he eve- Friday, during his life, to come to the Cross barefoot, and bareheaded in his shirt: and there kneeling on his knees, to do penance for his fact. Ex Chro. Mon. de albon. In vita Rich. 2
