Apparently John Wyclif likened the churches of the Franciscans to Cayme's

Anyone have any idea why? Is Cayme a medieval form of Cain?

He went further than that.  Respelling it CAIM, he derived 
therefrom the Carmelites), the Austins or Augustinians, the 
'Iacobins' (Dominicans), and the Minorites (Franciscans).
