EXTRACTS PROM THE PROSPECTUS, 



" The Tracts here collected are now, for the first time, printed. They 

 are interei-tiui; as beins, licrhups, tlie latest of Wyoklyifo's writinirs, and 

 as expressintr. it may be presumed, his matured opinions and judirment, 

 on the important f^ubjccts (tf which they treat. One of them, the Trea- 

 tise Oh the Cfiurch xd'I it:i _)(• iiihcrs^ contains internal evidence of having 

 been composed wifliin tbL- la^t year of the Reformer's life : the others, 

 from their close cimnc-xion ^^■ith thi^, in style and subject-matter, were 

 probably written at the same time." 



" It is scarcely necessary to say that the Editor, in printintr these ciirious 

 tracts, has no wish to recommend nil the doctrines they advocate. His 

 object is to make ttiem known a'^ documents essential to the richt un- 

 derstanding of the attempt made by Wycklyflfe and his followers for 

 the reformation of the Church. They are iutcrcstini; also as monuments 

 of the state of the EnirUsh lantrua^e in the fourteenth centin*y. and they 

 tlirow i::rcat lii;ht on the manners, customs, and religion of our ancestora 

 at that period. 



" Some Xotos have been added explanatory of obscure allusions, and 

 with verifications of the quotations from ancient writers, occurrinff in 

 the Text. A copious Ohastinj has also been compiled, to assist the 

 reader in nndcr.standinir the obsolete words and spellings of the original. 



" The Editor is not witlmut a hope that the imblication of these Trea- 

 tises may direct the attention of iuKuential scholars to the importance 

 of colU'ctinsr and piintiuir, under the care of competent Editors, all the 

 existinir writinirs which remain in our libraries, under the name of 

 Wycklyffc and his contemporaries. Until this is done, a most import- 

 ant period of our ecclesiastioal history must continue in comparative 

 obicurity."
