Is that all you claimed? You wrote: “Translating the Bible w/o permisssion was a crime. It was heresy. Pope Martin V ordered his Bibles, books, writings, and bones burned for the crime of heresy.”

Sure looks lik eyou’re making a claim there that Wycliffe committed heresy by translating the Bible - which can’t be heresy by the way.

“Now I’ll say something about his work. He preached Calvinist type doctrines.”

No, he preached Donatist type doctrines. Calvinists would reject many of his doctrines.

Wycliffe taught that there was no free will. He believed and taught predestination and "all things are ordained by God". That is the foundation of Calvinism.

Donatism is something else and it does not detract in any way from the predestination he taught, which is the foundation of Calvinist doctrine.
