It is simply an uneducated error to suppose that the heretical editing, as I may call it, of Holy Scripture in the mother-tongue of English people, made by Tyndale and Coverdale, was the first attempt to put the Bible into English.
Tyndale the Orangeman was of so uncompromising a type that he occasionally arrested Catholics on general principles, like the Irishman who beat the Jew under the mistaken idea that he had something to do with crucifying "Our Savior." "But that was two thousand years ago," protested the Jew. "Niver moind; I just heard av it take that and that!" Zeal not wisely directed is a true Irish trait.
The ballad had played its part in teaching the humblest home to love poetry. These rude fireside songs were no mean factors in preparing the nation to welcome Shakespeare. William Tyndale, 1490?-1536. The Reformation was another mighty influence, working side by side with all the other forces to effect a lasting change in English history and literature.
They called each other Miss Devereux, Miss Carroll, Miss Tyndale, and Miss Vedrine, or else "dear." "I wish we could think he wanted to see us!" remarked Miss Tyndale. "I hope he didn't notice the basins," added Miss Vedrine "I think we hid them with our trains," said Miss Carroll. "Was he nice looking?" Miss Vedrine had courage to ask.
It certainly spread with remarkable celerity; for in 1546 it became necessary to command all persons possessing them to deliver to the bishop, or sheriff, to be openly burnt, all works in English purporting to be written by Frith, Tyndale, Wicliff, Joye, Basil, Bale, Barnes, Coverdale, Turner, or Tracy.
There was a tremendous clapping as they retired into the shelter of their classic groves. The next item on Miss Adams' program was rather ambitious. An upright screen of wood, covered with black paper, was placed upon the lawn to serve as a background, and in front of this Hester Wilson and Truie Tyndale, attired in Venetian red chitons, performed a Grecian dance.
But it is the Tyndale Testaments which have had so wide a sale of late in this country, and which have set London in commotion these and the writings of Martin Luther, which the men from the Stillyard have brought up the river in great quantities.
Then he spake in private with Catharine her sister, and vanished, leaving a smell of brimstone behind! Turner's Remarkable Providences, folio, 1667, p. 28. Vol. i., p. 36. Holy War. Vol. ii., p. 141.

Wycliffe's Bible was first printed at Oxford in 1850, previous to which the New Testament appeared in 1721 and was reprinted in 1810. In 1526, William Tyndale completed and published in English his translation of the New Testament.
With this book as inspiration and resource, William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale were so to continue and complete the task of The Venerable Bede and John Wyclif as to make an epoch in the history of that language to be used by Shakespeare and Burke an era as distinct as that which Luther's Bible so soon should mark in the history of a language to be such a potent instrument in the hands of Goethe and Hegel.
