To Helpe Ye Understande

"It shall greatly helpe ye to understande Scripture,
If thou mark 

Not only what is spoken or wrytten,

• But of whom

• And to whom

• With what words

• At what time

• Where

• To what intent

• With what circumstances

• Considering what goeth before

• And what followeth."

- John Wycliffe, Bible Translator
