From Purvey's Prologue to the Wyclif Bible
But failing that, the common men of our realm, who attach themselves to the great Cornerstone (which is Christ), are indeed rightly signified by stones that are set firmly in the foundation; for though our covetous clerics are altogether carried away by bribery, heresy, and many other sins, and though they despise and oppose the scripture, as much as they can, yet the common people cry out for the scripture, to know it, and obey it, with great cost and peril to their lives.
