But--" here there was a pause and a deep sigh, "O, he does not know how little we have to dress with, if we would keep out of debt. There now, Agnes is singing and I am doing I scarcely know what," she added, as her sister's voice reached her. She did not hear the words, if she had heard they would have helped her.

The Heathens had a Notion, that every Man upon his Birth was given up to the[A] Conduct of some invisible Being, who was to form his Mind, and govern and direct his Life. This Being theGreeks called[B] [Greek: Daimôn or Daimonion]; the Latins, Genius. Some of them suppos'd a[D] Pair of Genij were to attend every Man from his Birth; one Good, always putting him on the Practice of Virtue; the other Bad, prompting him to a vicious Behaviour; and according as their several Suggestions were most attended to, the Man became either Virtuous or Vicious in his Inclinations: And from this Influence, which the Genius was suppos'd to have towards forming the Mind, the Word was by degrees made to stand for the Inclination itself.

Een ander man, die den Bijbel liefhad, was John Wicklef, professor aan de hoogeschool van Oxford in Engeland. Deze geleerde, die voor zijn landgenooten den Bijbel in het Engelsch vertaalde, vond ook noodig de misbruiken in de Kerk te bestrijden. Vooral kwam hij op tegen het luie leven van de bedelmonniken en de aanmatigingen van den paus.

Dat hij zich hierdoor den haat van de geestelijkheid op den hals haalde, is te begrijpen. De paus deed hem in den ban. Maar de Heer schonk hem machtige beschermers, zoodat hij nog voor velen ten zegen kon zijn, totdat hij in 1384 in vrede in zijn eigen woning stierf.
