This two-volume work is valuable for both religious and linguistic
history. A vernacular text written in a period of division within
the Church and widespread popular religious discontent, it provides
a record of the arguments that fuelled this division. Reginald
Pecock (c.1392 c.1459) recounts the attacks made by Lollard
reformers and provides well-composed answers to them. A firm
believer in papal supremacy, Pecock insisted on proving doctrine by
reason, a position which laid him open to the charges of heresy
that dogged his career and eventually led to his disgrace. Editor
Charles Babington's introduction to this edition, published in the
Rolls Series in 1860, gives biographical and contextual
information, and a summary of the works contained within both
volumes. In Volume 1, Pecock outlines eleven points of attack and
his general answer to them, specifically dealing with vindications
of images and pilgrimages, and the revenues of the clergy.
