Roughly speaking, however, the years 1377 or 137S, niay be taken as important epochs in Wycliffe's reforming career. In the former year he was charged with heresy, and formally summoned by the Archbishop of Canterbury as the representa- tive of the Roman See to answer to the charges laid against him. The year before, his enemies had sent nineteen articles and extracts from his writings to the FIRST GREAT REFORMER IN ENGLISH CHURCH 149 Pope. The Pope replied with five bulls, in which he declared... that Wycliffe was a pestilential heretic, whose damnable doctrines were to be plucked up by the roots, lest they should defile the faith and bring into contempt the Church of Rome ; and called upon the archbishop, the king, and the university, to deal summarily with the heretic (Fox, v. 227). All of which things prove in a very practical manner the position then occupied by the English Church, as an integral part of the Church of Rome. The damnable doctrines complained of were only questions, however, that touched the wealth and power of the Church, the binding and loosing power of the Pope, the right of the temporal lords to deprive wicked clerics of their temporalities, and other mat- ters.
