"The Editor is not without a hope that the publication of these Treatises may direct the attention of influential scholars to the importance of collecting and printing, under the care of competent Editors, all the existing writings which remain in our libraries, under the name of Wycklyffe and his contemporaries. Until this is done, a most important period of our ecclesiastical history must continue in comparative obscurity."
