 During the consultations on 21 May an earthquake occurred; the participants were terrified and wished to break up the assembly, but Courtenay declared the earthquake a favourable sign which meant the purification of the earth from erroneous doctrine, and the result of the "Earthquake Synod" was assured.Of the 24 propositions attributed to Wycliffe without mentioning his name, ten were declared heretical and fourteen erroneous.The former had reference to the transformation in the sacrament, the latter to matters of church order and institutions.
