Excerpt from Epistolae Academicae Oxon, (Registrum F), Vol. 2: A Collection of Letters and Other Miscellaneous Documents Illustrative of Academical Life and Studies at Oxford in the Fifteenth Century; (1457-1509)
Israel would have perished by the wrath of God had not Moses stood before them in the gap.' We are sure that, as a faithful leader, you also will not fail to stand forth in defence of the people committed to your charge, and of the faith of the church in peril; and we have been assured that you have commenced an e 'ort to repress the widening breach in the rule of faith at this time existing, especially among the more ignorant people. Let us not therefore be deemed to impute lukewarmness to your grace, for we solemnly declare we have no such intention our aim is only to add fuel to the ame of your zeal. We acknowledge that the errors of faith in question had their origin among us, and that we did not at first take active measures to correct the7n. But now we desire to do so, and we are ready to die, if need be, for the true faith of the Church. In the meantime we beg that the writings of the learned but erring doctor of this University, which are the source of the trouble, may be submitted to us for discussion and refutation.
