John Wycliffe spent the last three years of his life in exile at Lutterworth. During his time there and assisted by his followers including Nicholas of Hereford, John Horn, and John Purvey, he completed the first translation of the bible from the Latin Vulgate onto English in 1383.
The following year he suffered a severe stroke and died on 31st December 1384. However, the Catholic church pursued him after his death. He was denounced as a heretic by the Council of Constance in 1415 and in 1428 Richard Fleming, the Bishop of Lincoln was present with other church dignitaries to see his bones exhumed, burned and the ashes thrown into the River Swift. He was entitled “The Morning Star of the Reformation” as his pioneering work influenced not only John Huss in Bohemia but the works and writings of Martin Luther who led the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. There are monuments and interesting artifacts to John Wycliffe in the Lutterworth Museum and St Mary’s Parish Church.
More about “The Morning Star of the Reformation.”
In the legacy of Wycliffe, who acted autonomously to bring forth the Scriptures in the English language via translation, the Eth Cepher has furthered this work, adding to the impetus to include transliteration of approximately 3,100 names found in the Scriptures, and harmonizing these names across the testaments, enabling these Scriptures to resonate in their intended entirety, bolstering faith and renewing comprehension.
