I say in England, because the first Bible, known as Coverdale's, and several editions of the Testament, translated by Tyndale, had been previously printed abroad in secrecy. Grafton's first edition of the Bible was a reprint of Coverdale and Tyndale's translation, with slight alterations, by one who assumed the name of Thomas Matthew, but whose real name was John Rogers, then Prebendary of St.
It is an old English word, and means overlaid or lined with wood, wainscot, or plank, either roof, sides, or floor. Ed. The line means the text. The marginal reading agrees with the puritan version 'overlayed. Tyndale renders it, 'And he paved the house with precious stones goodly. Coverdale, 'And overlayed the house with precious stones to beautify it. Ed.
It was supposed to contain "the Old and New Testament, truly and purely translated into English by Thomas Matthew," but in reality it was only a compilation of the works of Tyndale and Coverdale made by one John Rogers.
Tyndale, and all the early English translations, rend it 'unto you, until the Elisabethan State Bible, called the Bishop's, in 1568. Do not the words mean that Christians are to receive such as are weak in the faith into their hearts by love, without troubling their heads with perplexing disputes? Ed. Under the Old Testament dispensation; the parable or history is recorded in Luke 10. Ed.
Tyndale wrote also a bitter Answer to the Dialogue, and this drew forth from More his abusive and scurrilous Confutation, which did little credit to the writer or to the cause for which he contended Tyndale's longest controversial work, entitled The Obedience of a Christian Man, and how Christian Rulers ought to govern, although it stirred up much hostility against its author, very favourably impressed King Henry, who delighted in it, and declared that "the book was for him and for all kings to read."
Priests and preachers everywhere now preach exactly the things for which Huss, Wyclif, Ridley, Latimer and Tyndale forfeited their lives. But the Pope did not correctly gauge the people he did not know that Luther was speaking for fifty-one per cent of all Germany.
If Tyndale had confined himself to the great work of translating the Scriptures, and had abandoned controversy and his Practice of Prelates, his fate might have been different; but, as Mr. Froude says, "he was a man whose history has been lost in his work, and whose epitaph is the Reformation."
And Luther, all of whose works were condemned to be burnt by the Diet of Worms , actually survived their burning twenty-five years, though he himself had publicly burnt at Wittenberg Leo X.'s bull, anathematising his books, as well as the Decretals of previous Popes. Less fortunate than these were the famous martyrs of free thought, Dolet, Servetus, and Tyndale.
A cuff on the ear was the answer, and John was given until sundown to apologize. He did not apologize. And young Tyndale then vowed he would change his name to Tyndall and forever separate himself from a person whose religion was so largely mixed with brutality. But yet John Tyndale was not a bad man. He had intellect far above the average of his neighbors. He had the courage of his convictions.
Magdalen seemed about to speak, but Dalaber was before her. "They say that the Tyndale translations are full of glaring errors, and errors which feed the heresies of the Lollards, and are directed against the Holy Church." "That charge is not wholly without foundation," answered Clarke at once, who as a scholar of the Greek language was well qualified to give an opinion on that point.
