Explanation:

Chaucer was a sympathizer with the ideology of John Wycliffe and the Lollards and therefore included a reference to them in his work. This was because it admired their ability not to care about reprisals to achieve their goals of making the church more pure, holy, balanced and correct.

In fact, many other social movements were referenced in Chaucer's work. This is because he understood how these movements move society and how important this is in faith and religiosity.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
