Thorpe. Sir, master John Wycliffe, holden of •ull many the greatest Clarke then living •us•ing rule an• innocent in his living great men communed oft with him▪ they so loved his learning, that they wrote it, and b•s•ly enforced themselves to •ollow it; and his learning is yet holden most agreeable to the learning of Christ and his Apostles, and master John Ayston taught and wrote accordingly, and used himself right perfectly to his lives end. And sometimes Phillip Rampington▪ Nichols Hereford, David Gotray of Pak•ing, and John Purvey, and many other, which were holden right wise and prudent, taught and writ busily his foresaid learning: with al• these men I was right homely, and communed with them, but of all other, I •hose to •ollow Wycliffe himself, as the most wise and godly man that I heard of, or know. Some of these I heart them whilst they sate in Christs chair, but after the works they now do, I will not do, by Gods •elpe, for they fain would hide and contrary the trueth, which before they taught plainly and truly, and some of them have confessed they do it because they are constrained by pain, to leave the truth; so they blaspheme God rather then suffer a little, though Christ shed his heart blood for us.
