It need not be said, further, that although Chaucer freely handled the errors, the ignorance, and vices of the clergy, he did so rather as a man of sense and of conscience, than as a Wycliffite -- and there is no evidence that he espoused the opinions of the zealous Reformer, far less played the part of an extreme and selfregardless partisan of his old friend and college-companion.
John Huss and Jerome of Prague, both of whom may be considered Wycliffites, to the stake.
