Those very early reformers (to use the modern term) were in a very difficult position, in that they had very slight cause of quarrel with the church of which they called themselves true sons.

Modern Protestants find it hard to believe what men like Wycliffe and Latimer taught on many cardinal points.

To them it would sound like "rank papacy" now.

The split between the two camps in the church has gradually widened and widened, till there seems no bridging the gap between Christian and Christian, between churchman and churchman--all being members of one Catholic Church.
But it was not so in the days of Anthony Dalaber.

The thought of split and schism was pain and grief to most.
