It was so then. The Lollards, as Wyclif's followers were called, soon became a menace to the nation. From attacking abuses in the Church they passed, naturally enough, to attacking abuses in the State. Then a civil re- 154 LECTURES ON CHURCH HISTORY bellion of such alarming proportions arose, that it threatened to sweep away all authority both in Church and State. The cry of the mob was for perfect equality, and their popular song was : " When Adam delved and Eve span, Who v^as then the gentlem...an ? " Perfect equality ! Oh what a dream of dreams is this ! In what has God made men equal ? We dif- fer from one another in a thousand different ways.
Humanity lies between two points very far apart, but we can understand the cry well enough, and we do not hold Wyclif responsible for its being raised. Like the modern Socialists and Anarch- ists, the Lollards howled for the abolishment of law and order, and a redistribution of all property.
Wyclif died in 1384, and was buried beneath the chancel of his own church of Lutterworth.
