21
May 1382 A.D. The
Earthquake Synod—William Courtenay, the 58th Archbishop of
Canterbury & Ass of Canterbury, Thunders Against John Wycliffe & His
Heresies
Wiki’s offering based on
ODCC .
The Earthquake Synod was an English synod that took place on
May 21, 1382, in the Blackfriars area of London, England.
William Courtenay, the Archbishop of Canterbury, convened the
synod to address the emerging Lollard thinkers challenging the church. In particular, the
synod condemned John Wycliffe's twenty-four theses, although
many had already been condemned as heresy by a synod at St. Paul's Cathedral in February 1377. The
synod also issued teachings on the doctrine of transubstantiation and friars. The synod got its
name from the fact that an earthquake shook the city of London during its
meetings.[1]

We would add the
following to Wiki about Courtenay, an Ass of Canterbury.
The picture above
is Courtenay’s effigy in Canterbury.
Courtenay, the pestiferous 58th Archbishop of Canterbury,
the Ass in Canterbury, croaked like the other 57, mere mortals like the rest of
us. They buried this dumb ass in Canterbury. Don't like the language, take it
up with Jeremiah the Leader, not some set of phoney and parochial standards of
country clubbish gentility. Here's the monument to the 58th Canterbury. Courtenay the Ass of Canterbury croaked years
later on 31 Jul 1396.
Edifying remarks from a Jewish prophet about King
Jehoiakim, son of Josiah. Jeremiah gets down to business without the rude
protocols of country clubbish & Republican gentility. Jeremiah is a breath
of fresh air. There more like it too from old Jeremiah.
Jeremiah
22:18-19

Geneva Bible (GNV)
18
Therefore thus saith the Lord against Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah king of
Judah, They shall not [a]lament him, saying, Ah, my brother, or ah sister:
neither shall they mourn for him, saying, Ah, lord, or ah, his glory.
19 He shall be buried, as an ass [b]is buried, even drawn
and cast forth without the gates of Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 22:18 For everyone shall have enough to lament for himself.
b.
Jeremiah 22:19 Not honorably among his fathers, but as carrions are cast in a
hole, because their stink should not infect, read 2 Kings 24:9. Josephus
Antiquities 10:8, writeth that the enemy slew him in the city and commanded him
to be cast before the walls unburied, see Jer. 36:30.
