In the summer of 1381 Wycliffe formulated his doctrine of the Lord's Supper in twelve short sentences, and made it a duty to advocate it everywhere.
Then the English hierarchy proceeded against him.
The chancellor of the University of Oxford had some of the declarations pronounced heretical.
When this fact was announced to Wycliffe, he declared that no one could change his convictions.
He then appealed – not to the pope nor to the ecclesiastical authorities of the land, but to the king.
He published his great confession upon the subject and also a second writing in English intended for the common people.
His pronouncements were no longer limited to the classroom, they spread to the masses.
" Every second man that you meet ," writes a contemporary, " is a Lollard.
