John Foxe: "Acts and Monuments," 3.39ff.

1382. DAYS OF KING RICHARD II. WYCLIFFE. BREAD-WORSHIP. SOLA SCRIPTURA. PAPAL POWER. OXFORD. Matters incident to Robert Rigges, Vice-chancellor of Oxford, supporter of Dr. Wycliffe—clean-up at Oxford is necessary. Master Herford, Reppington and others are impugned as supporters of Dr. Wycliffe (40). Another letter of the King Richard is sent to the Vice-chancellor of Oxford to whack the Wycliffites—full of pregnant, inflated, and bombastiloquent declamations (43). Clearly the lawyers wrote it. A letter of Robert Rigges, the Vice-chancellor of Oxford, is sent to the persecutory Archbishop of Canterbury, William Courtney—that would make any Pope as proud as the strutting Peacock of Rome (45). Master Philip Reppington, a previous supporter of Wycliffe, abjectly abjures his support for Dr. Wycliffe (46). As a side note, let it not be forgotten that the Avignon Papacy—the Babylonian Captivity—has been a feature of the 14th century with multiple Pope mutually recriminating each other. Foxe lays down some satire-slams, to wit: “Furthermore, not contented with this, he [DPV, ABC Courtney whose malicious skull and bones rest in Canterbury] addresseth his letter unto the king, requiring also the aid of his temporal sword to chop off his neck, whom he had already cast down. See and note, reader! the seraphical charity of these priestly prelates towards the poor redeemed flock of Christ. And yet these be they, who, washing their hands with Pilate, say and pretend, "Nobis non licet interficere quenquam:" "it is not our parts to kill any man.” A centuries’ and decades’ long reckoning would one day come.
