John Wycliffe : (2) " The higher the hill, the stronger the wind: so the loftier the life, the stronger the enemy’s temptations. " - John Wycliffe " In order to the existence of such a ministry in the Church, there is requisite an authority received from God, and consequently power and knowledge imparted from God for the exercise of such ministry; and where a man possesses these, although the bishop has not laid hands upon him according to his traditions, God has Himself appointed him.
