An ecclesiastical official ("Officiall" ["Official"]) removes Wycliffe's bones from his coffin [identified xylographically as "Wycklyfes Bons" ["Wycliffe's bones"], and a "Sum[m]oner" ["Summoner"] and an archdeacon ("Arch. De." ["Archdeacon"]) burn them. A second official ("Comissari." ["Commissary"]) pours the ashes into the River Swift ("The ashes of Wickleffe cast into the riuer." ["The ashes of Wycliffe cast into the river"]), while a crowd observes. The scene transpires before the church at Lutterworth (identified xylographically), where Wycliffe was rector.
