THE archbishop of Prague, finding the reformists daily increasing, issued a decree to suppress the farther spreading of Wycliffe's writings; but this had an effect quite different to what he expected, for it stimulated the friends of these doctrines to greater zeal, and almost the whole university united in propagating them

HUSS had considerable influence in the university, not only on account of his learning, eloquence, and exemplary life, but also on account of some valuable privileges he had obtained from the king in behalf of the Bohemians in that seminary, by which many Germans had been obliged to leave it, and retire to Leipsic, who afterwards became, on that account, his most inveterate enemies.
BEING strongly attached to the doctrines of Wycliffe, Huss strongly opposed the decree of the archbishop, who, however, at length obtained a bull from the pope, giving him commission to prevent the publishing of Wycliffe's doctrines in his province. By virtue of this bull, the archbishop condemned the writings of Wycliffe: he also proceeded against four doctors, who had not delivered up the copies of that divine, and prohibited them, notwithstanding their privileges, to preach to any congregation. Dr. Huss▪ with some other members of the university, protested against these proceedings, and entered an appeal from the sentences of the archbishop.
