PREFACE. 
 
 Like a traveller who at the end of a long and 
 difficult voyage has safely reached the haven where 
 he would be, I offer to Almighty God the tribute 
 of praise and thanksgiving for the blessings of un- 
 broken health, of journeying mercies throughout the 
 progress of this work, and of much kindness from 
 friends, old and new, on both sides of the Atlantic, 
 without which it could not have been done at all. 
 
 Having stated elsewhere the origin, character 
 and aims of this book, it is my pleasing duty to 
 enumerate here the sundries of a heavy debt in- 
 curred, in payment of which I can only tender this 
 note of gratitude, which I hope will be strongly 
 endorsed by the public, and graciously received by 
 the good friends to whom it is offered. 
 
 The Trustees of the Lenox Library will please 
 accept my thanks for the hospitality of the Insti- 
 tution and the unrestricted use of the rich Collection 
 of which they are the custodians. To one of their 
 number, George H. Moore, Esq., LL.D., Superin- 
 tendent of the Library, I am under special obligation 
 
VI PREFACE. 
 
 for the courtesy and readiness with which he has 
 met my wants and facihtated my work. The valua- 
 ble help afforded me by S. Austin Allibone, Esq., 
 LL.D., the Librarian, is duly recorded in another 
 place, but I have yet to add that he has enriched 
 this volume by an Index to the Prolegomena. 
 
 The contributions enumerated below excepted, 
 this is the first book which has been entirely pre- 
 pared in the Library from material drawn from its 
 shelves, and for this reason is inscribed to the mem- 
 ory of the good man who founded it. 
 
 For the collation of Genesis of 1630, with Genesis 
 Newly corredyd and amendyd by W. T. 1534, and 
 of several of the Prologues with those in Daye's 
 Folio of 1673, as well as for the reading of the 
 proof-sheets of the entire Pentateuch, I am indebted 
 to the kindness of The Reverend James Culross, 
 D.D., President of the Baptist College, Bristol. I 
 have also to thank Edward Augustus Bond, Esq., 
 LL.D., Principal Librarian of the British Muse- 
 um, George Bullen, Esq., Keeper of the Printed 
 Books of the British Museum, and The Reverend 
 J. E. Sewell, D.D., Warden of New College, Oxford, 
 for valuable contributions duly acknowledged in the 
 proper places. To the kindness of Francis Fry, 
 Esq., of Bristol, I owe the photograph of Tyndale's 
 Autograph Letter, which faces the Title Page, and 
 much useful information, some of which I have been 
 able to print. 
 
PREFACE. Vll 
 
 The technical finish of this Volume is due to 
 the skill and interest of Mr. John F. McCabe, the 
 Superintendent of the Stereotype Foundry at St. 
 Johnland; his interest has been shared by the com- 
 positors, whose carefulness has not a little lessened 
 the work of correcting the proof-sheets. 
 
 Although great pains have been taken to secure 
 accuracy, the imperfection which marks all human 
 effort, especially where it aims to avoid it, may have 
 caused some things to escape the observation of 
 my kind friends, and myself, which others perhaps 
 will notice. I shall feel grateful to have pointed out 
 to me any real blemishes, that they may be removed 
 from the plates. 
 
 Several months ago the Earl of Shaftesbury un- 
 veiled the monument on the Thames Embankment 
 in honor of the Apostle of Liberty, who, at the cost 
 of his life, gave to the people of English tongue 
 much of the English Bible, and it is now my privi- 
 lege to unveil the monument which William Tyndale 
 himself erected in restoring to use by all lovers of 
 the English Bible, and of the same glorious liberty, 
 the long buried volume of the first English Version 
 of the Pentateuch made from the Sacred Original.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE OF WILLIAM TYNDALE. 
 
 Obscurity shrouds the first forty years of the life of 
 William Tyndale, uncertainty and mystery involve the 
 remainder. We may trace him from Gloucestershire to 
 Worms to lose sight of him during eight eventful years 
 and to find him permanently settled at Antwerp. The 
 details of his manner of life there, of his arrest, imprison- 
 ment, trial, and martyrdom, which have come down to 
 us in the shape of history and tradition, are few and un- 
 satisfactory, and mainly contained in the sketch of John 
 Foxe described as The hijlorie and difcourfe of the lyfe 
 of William Tyndall out of the Booke of Notes and Monu- 
 mentes Briefly extracted by him in The Whole workes of 
 W. Tyndall, John Frith, and Doct. Barnes, three worthy 
 Martyrs, &c., London, John Daye, An. 1573. in-folio. 
 The most important of these are the following: 
 
 A.iiij. " Firfl touching the birth and parentage of this bleffed 
 Martyre in Chrift, hee was borne in the edge of Wales, and brought 
 vp from a childe in the vniuerfitie of Oxforde, where hee by long con- 
 tinuance grew, and encreafed afwell in the knowlege of tongues, 
 and other liberall artes, as efpecially in the knowlege of Scriptures, 
 whereunto his mind was fingularly addicted: Infomuch that hee 
 liyng in Magdalene hall, read priuelye to certaine fludentes, and 
 felowes of Magdalene College, fome percell of Diuinitie, inftructing 
 them in the knowlege, and trueth of the Scriptures. Whofe maners 
 alfo and conuerfation being correfpondent to the fame, were fuch 
 that all they which knewe him, reputed, and efleemed him to bee a 
 man of mofl verteous difpofition, and of a life vnfpotted. Thus hee 
 in the vniuerfitie of Oxford encreafyng more and more in learning, 
 and proceeding in degrees of the fchooles, fpiyng his tyme, remoued 
 from thence to the Vniuerfitie of Cambridge, where, after he had 
 
xviil PROLEGOMENA, 
 
 likewyle made his abode a certayne fpace, and beeing now farther 
 rypened in the knowlege of Gods worde, leauing- that vniuerfitie 
 alfo, he reforted to one M. Weljhe a knyght of Glocefler fheare, and 
 was there fchoole mafler to his children, and in very good fauour 
 with his mafter. This gentleman, as hee kept a very good ordinary 
 commonly at his table, there reforted vnto him many tymes fondry 
 Abbottes, Deanes, Archdeacons, with other diuers Doctours, and 
 great beneficed men: Who there togither with M. Tyndall fittyng 
 at the fame table, did vfe many tymes to enter communication and 
 talke of learned men, as of Luther and Erafmus, and of diuerfe 
 controuerfies, and queflions vpon the fcripture. At which time 
 M. Tyndall, as he was learned, & wel practifed in Gods matters, 
 fo he fpared not to fhew to them fimply, and playnely his iudgement 
 in matters as he thought. And when as they at that tyme did varie 
 from Tyndall in opinions, and iudgment, he would fhewe them 
 the booke, and lay playnely before them the open, and manifefl places 
 of the fcriptures to confute their errours, and to confirme his fayinges. 
 And thus continued they for a feafon, reafoning, and contending 
 togither diuers and fondry tymes, till at the length they waxed wery 
 of him, and bare a fecret grudge in their hartes againfl hym. 
 
 B.j. sqq. "To bee fhort M. Tyndall beeing fo molefled and vexed 
 in the countrey by y" Priefts, was conflrayned to leaue that Countrye, 
 and to feeke another place: and fo comming to M. Weljhe hee defired 
 him of his good will, that hee might depart from hym, faying thus 
 vnto him: Syr I perceaue I fhall not bee fuffered to tarye long here 
 in this countrie, neither fhall you bee able (though you woulde) to 
 keepe mee out of the handes of the fpiritualtie, and alfo what dif- 
 pleafure might growe to you by keeping mee God knoweth: for the 
 which I fhulde bee right fory. So that in fine M. Tyndall with y<> 
 good will of his Mafler departed, and eftfones came vp to London, 
 and there preached a while according as hee had done in the coun- 
 trye beefore. At length hee beethought hym felfe of Cuthbert Tun- 
 Jlall then Byfhop of London, and efpecially for the great commen- 
 datio oi Erafmus" etc. (See the Prologue "When I had tranflated, 
 &c.," from which this part of Foxe's account is taken.) 
 
 "And fo he remayned in London the fpace almofl of a yeare, 
 beholding and marking with him felfe the courfe of the world and 
 efpecially y'' Demeanour of the preachers, how they boafled them 
 felues, & fet vp their auctoritie & kingdome; Beholding alfo the 
 pompe of the Prelates, with other thinges that greatly mifliked him. 
 Infomuch, as he vnderfloode not onely to be no roome in y Bifhops 
 houfe for him to tranflate the new Teftament: but alfo that there 
 was no place to doe it in all England. And therefore fynding no 
 place for his purpofe within the Realme, and hauing fome ayde and 
 prouifion, by Gods prouidence miniflred vnto him by Hufnfrey 
 Mommouth Merchaunt, who after was both Shirife and Alderman 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE OF TYNDALE. XIX 
 
 of London, and by certaine other good men, he tooke his leaue of 
 the Realme, and departed into Germany. Where the good man 
 being inflamed with a tender care and zeale of his countrey refufed 
 no trauell, or diligence, how by all meanes poffible to reduce his 
 bretheren & Countrymen of England to the fame tafl and vnder- 
 ftanding of Gods holy worde, and veritie which the Lorde had en- 
 dued him withall. * * * 
 
 " For thefe and fuch other confiderations, this good man was 
 tnoued (and no doubte flyrred vp of God) to tranflate the Scripture 
 into his mother tongue, for the publique vtilitie and profit of the 
 fimple vulgar people of his coutrey: Firfl fetting in hand with the 
 new teflament, which he firfl tranflated about the yeare of our 
 Lord .1527. After y' he tooke in hande to tranflate the olde tefl^a- 
 ment, finifliing the .V. bookes of Mofes, with fondry moft. learned 
 and godly prologues prefixed before euery one of them mofl: worthy 
 to be read, and read againe of all Chrifl^ians, as the like alfo he did 
 vpon the new teflament. 
 
 " He wrote alfo dyuerfe other woorkes vnder fondry titles, among 
 the which is that mofl. worthy monument of his intuled the obedy- 
 ence of a Chriftian man, wherein with Angular dexteritie he inflruct- 
 eth all men in the office, and duetie of Chriftian obediece, with 
 dyuerfe other treatifes as may apere in the contentes of this booke. 
 
 "So foone as thefe bookes were compiled, and made by William 
 Tyndall, and the fame were publiflied and fent ouer into England, 
 it can not bee fpoken what a dore of light they opened to the eyes of 
 the whole Engliflie nation, which before were many yeares fliut vp 
 in darknes. * * * 
 
 "After that William Tyndall hsid tranflated the fyfth booke of 
 Mofes called Deuterono7nium, and he mynding to print the fame at 
 Hamborough, fayled thitherward: and by the way vpon the coaft of 
 Holland, he fuffered fliipwracke, and loft all his bookes, writinges, 
 and copyes: and fo was compelled to beginne all agayne anewe, to 
 his hyndcraunce and doiiblyng of his labours. Thus hauyng loft by 
 that fhip both money, his copyes and tyme, he came in an other 
 ihippe to Hamborough, where at his appointment M. Couerdale 
 taryed for hym, and helped hym in the tranflatyng of the whole fiue 
 bookes of Mofes. And after hee returned to Andwarp, and was there 
 lodged more than one whole yeare in the houfe of Thomas Pointz^ 
 an Englifh man, who kept a table for Engliflie marchauntes, etc. 
 
 " About which tyme, an Engliflie man whofe name was Henry 
 Phillips, whofe father was cuftomer of Poole, a comely man, and 
 feemed to be a gentleman. This man fodainely entred into the great 
 loue and fauour of Willam Tyndall, who greatly commended his 
 curtefie and learning, and in the ende fell into famylier loue and 
 acquaintance with him. And Thomas Pointz their hoft efpying fuch 
 great loue and familiaritie to be betweene M. Tyndall and this 
 
XX PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 Pkilippes, which vnto hym was but a mere flrainger, did much 
 meruell thereat, and fell into a geloufy, and fufpition ttiat this Phil- 
 lipes was but a fpye, and came but to betraye M. Tindall, wherefore 
 on a time, the a fore fayd Thomas Poyntz afked M. Tyndall how 
 he came acquainted with this Phillipes: M. Tyndall aufwered that 
 he was an honefl man, handfomely learned, and very conformable. 
 Then Poyntz perceauing- that he bare fuch fauour vnto him, fayd no 
 more, thinking that hee had beene brought acquainted with him by 
 feme frende of his. The fayd Phillipes being in the towne .iij. or 
 iiij. dayes did then depart to the Court at Bruxelles, which is from 
 Andwarp .xxiiij. myles and did fo much there that he procured to 
 bring from thence with him to Andwarp the procuror generall, 
 which is the Emperours attorney with certaine other officers. And 
 firfl. the fayd Phillipes feruaunt came vnto Poytttz and demaunded 
 of him whether M. Tyndall were there or not, for his mafler would 
 come and dyne with him. And forthwith came Phillipes and afked 
 Poyntz wife for M. Tyndall and fhe fhewed him that he was in his 
 chamber, then fayd he, what good meate (hall we haue to dinner for 
 I entend to dyne with you, and fhe aunfwered they fhould haue fuch 
 as the market would geue. Then went phyllipes flraight vp into M. 
 Tyndales chamber, and tolde him that by the way as he came he had 
 loft his purffe, and therefore prayed him to lend him .xl. fhillings, which 
 he forthwith lent, for it was eafie inough to be had of him if he had it. 
 For in the wilie fubtilnes of this world, he was fymple and vnexpert. 
 "Then fayd Phillipes you fhall be my gueft here this day. No, 
 fayd, Tyndall, I goe forth this day to dynner, and you fhall goe with 
 me and be my geft where you fhall be welcome. And when dynner 
 tyme came M. Tyndall and Phillipes went both forth togither. And 
 at the going forth oi Poyntz\iO\x{& was a long narrow entrey, fo that .ii 
 coulde not goe on a front. Tyndall v^ovXA haue \>w\. phillipes before 
 him, but Phillipes would in no wife, but put Tyndall hetiort him, for 
 that hee pretended to fhew great humanitie. So Tyndale being a man 
 of no great ftature went before, and Phillipes a tall perfon folowed 
 behinde him, who had fet officers on either fyde of the dore vpon .ii 
 feates, which beeing there might fee who came in the entrye. And 
 comming through y^ faid entrye, Phillipes pointed with his finger ouer 
 M. Tyndales head downe to hym, that the officers which fat at the 
 dore, might fee that it was hee whom they fhould take, as the officers 
 that tooke Tyndall afterward tolde to the a fore fayde Poyntz, and 
 fayd that they pitied to fee his fimplicitie when they tooke him. 
 But Tyndall when hee came nere the dore efpied the officers and 
 woulde haue fhronke backe: nay fayd Phillipes by your leaue you 
 fhall goe forth, and by force bare hym forward vpon the officers. 
 And affone as the officers had taken him, they forthwith brought him 
 vnto the Emperours attorney, or procurour generall, where hee 
 dyned. Then came the procurour generall to the houfe of Poyntz, 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE OF TYNDALE. xxi 
 
 and fent awaye all that was of Tytidales, afwell his bookes as other 
 thinges: And from thence Tyndall was had to the Caftell of filforde, 
 xviij. Englifhe myles from Andwarpe, where hee remayned prifoner 
 more than a yeare and a halfe, and in that meane tyme, came vnto 
 him diuerfe lawyers, and Doctours in Diuinitie, afwell fryers as other 
 with whom hee had many conflyctes: But at the lafl Tyndall prayed 
 that hee might haue fome Englifhe Deuines come vnto him, for the 
 maners and Ceremonies in Douch land (fayd hee) did much differ 
 from the maners and Ceremonies vfed in England. And then was 
 fent vnto him dyuerfe Deuines from Louayne whereof fome were 
 Englifhmen, and after many examinations, at the laft, they condemned 
 him by vertue of the Emperours decree made in the affembly at Auf- 
 brough, and (hortly after brought him forth to the place of execution, 
 and there tyed him to a flake, where with a feruent zeale, and a loud 
 voyce hee cried, Lord open the eyes of the King of Englande, and 
 then firft, he was with a halter flrangled by the hangman, and after- 
 ward confumed with fier. In the yeare of our Lord .1536. 
 
 "Such was the power of his doctryne, and the finceritie of his 
 lyfe, that during the tyme of his imprifonment, which (as aforefayd) 
 endured a yeare and a halfe, hee conuerted his keepers Daughter, 
 and other of his houfholde. Alfo fuch as were with him conuerfaunt 
 in the Caflell reported of him, that if hee were not a good Chriflian 
 man, they could not tell whom to trufl. The Procurour generall the 
 Emperours attorney beeing there, left this teflemony of him, that he 
 was Homo doctus plus et bonus, that is, a learned, a good, and a 
 godly man. * * * 
 
 " And here to ende and conclude this hiftory with a fewe notes 
 touching his priuate behauiour in dyet, fludy, and efpecially his 
 charitable zeale, and tender releuing of the poore: Fyrfl be was a 
 man very frugall, and fpare of body, a great fludent and earnefl 
 laborer, namely in the fetting forth of y* Scriptures of God. He 
 referued or halowed to hym felfe .ij. dayes in the weeke, which he 
 named his dayes of paflime, and thofe dayes were Monday the firfl 
 day in the weeke, and Satterday the lafl daye in the weeke. On the 
 Monday he vifited all fuche poore men and women as were fied out 
 of England by reafon of perfecution into Antwarp, and thofe well 
 vnderflanding their good exercifes and qualities he did very liberally 
 comfort and relieue: and in like maner prouided for the ficke and 
 deceafed perfons. On the Satterday he walked round about the 
 towne in Antwarpe, feeking out euery Comer, and hole where he 
 fufpected any poore perfon to dwell (as God knoweth there are many) 
 and where he found any to be well occupied and yet ouerburdened 
 with children, or els were aged, or weake, thofe alfo hee plentefully 
 releued. And thus he fpent his .ij. dayes of paflime as he cauled 
 them. And truely his Almofe was very large and great: and fo 
 it might well bee; for his exhibition that he had yearely of the 
 
xxii PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 Englifhe merchauntes was very much, and that for the moft parte 
 he beflowed vpon the poore as afore fayd. The reft of the dayes in 
 the weke he gaue hym wholy to his booke where in moft diUgently 
 he traueled. When the Sonday came, then went he to fome one 
 merchaunts chamber, or other, whether came many other mer- 
 chauntes: and vnto them would he reade fome one percell of 
 Scripture, eyther out of the olde teftament, or out of the new, the 
 which proceded fo frutefully, fweetely and gentely from him (much 
 like to the writing of S. John the Euangeleft) that it was a heauenly 
 comfort and ioy to the audiece to heare him reade the fcriptures: and 
 in likewife after dinner, he fpent an houre in the aforefayd maner. 
 He was a man without any fpot, or blemiftie of rancor, or malice, 
 full of mercy and compaffion, fo that no man liuing was able to 
 reproue him of any kinde of fmne or cryme, albeit his righteoufnes 
 and iuftification depended not there vpon before God, but onely 
 vpon the bloud of Chrift, and his fayth vpon the fame: in the which 
 fayth conftantly he dyed, as is fayd at Filforde, and now refteth with 
 the glorious campany of Chriftes Martyrs bleffedly in the Lord, who 
 be bleffed in all his faintes Amen. And thus much of W. Tyndall, 
 Chriftes bleffed feruaunt, and Martyr." 
 
 Within this framework lie the earliest indicia of the 
 history of Tyndale, confirmed, disproved, or augmented 
 by contemporary evidence, and collected by the unre- 
 mitting zeal and patient research of earnest students. 
 The results of their labors will now be considered. 
 
 In the latest, exhaustive, and best, biography of Tyn- 
 dale extant,^ Mr. Demaus demonstrates that the Martyr 
 was neither born at Hunt's Court in Gloucestershire, nor 
 a member of the Tyndales who obtained possession of it 
 not till long after his birth. Their son William was alive 
 six years after the Martyr's death, and could not, of 
 course, have been identical with him. The same writer 
 has shown that Tyndales were settled as farmers at 
 Melksham Court in the parish of Stinchcombe, and oth- 
 ers at Slymbridge; also, that Edward, a brother of the 
 subject of this notice, was under-receiver of the lord- 
 ship of Berkeley,^ and rendered it not improbable that

 Slymbridge was th^ birthplace of the Reformer, This 
 inference conflicts, however, with the genealogy com- 
 piled by the heraldic historians, according to which 
 Edward Tyndale was the fourth son of Sir William 
 Tyndale, of Hockwold, Norfolk, whose elder brother 
 William lived till 1558. In the pedigree printed by 
 Mr. Offor,' Edward is not mentioned at all; it deserves 
 to be preserved, however, on account of the refer- 
 ence to the name of Hutchins (spelled also Huchyns,

 vertisement to New Testament, &c., Lond. 1836. 
 
 Hugh, Baron de Tyndale, of Langley Castle, 
 Northumberland, escaped from the field of 
 battle when the Yorkists were overcome by 
 the Lancastrians: lost his title and estate: he 
 took refuge in Gloucestershire, under the as- 
 sumed name of Hutchins.

 Hutchins, an eminent mer- 
 chant of London, persecuted

 Thomas Tyndale, whose de- 
 scendant, Lydia Tyndale,

 ker, honest John Roberts, of 
 Lower Siddington, near Ci-

 Mr. James Herbert Cooke, F. S. A., in a paper The Tyndalesin Gloucester- 
 shire, states: 
 
 " ' In a deed of entail executed by Alice Tyndale in her widowhood, date 20th January, 
 1541-2, by which she entails the Hunt's Court Estate on her five sons'; 'she had five sons, 
 Richard, Henry, William, Thomas, and John, and two daughters, Joan and Agnes.' William 
 is named one of the valuers of his mother's household effects in her will dated 3rd Feb. 1542-3, 
 he resided at Nibley, probably at Hunt's Court, as he is assessed to the subsidy of 1543 of goods 
 in that parish of the value of {,i,.' 
 
 " ' It seems therefore fair to conclude with Mr. Greenfield that Edward Tyndale, and 
 William the Martyr, were in all probability brothers of the first Richard Tyndale, of Melks- 
 ham Court, to whom we may add a fourth brother, viz. John Tyndale, a Merchant, of Lon- 
 don, who was punished by the Star Chamber in 1530 for assisting William in the circulation 
 of his New Testament.' " 
 
 For these extracts I am indebted to the Note on the Pedigree of W. Tyndale, 
 drawn up for insertion before the Introduction to the New Testament, Trans- 
 lated by W. Tyndale, Reproduced in Facsimile, by Francis Fry, F. S. A., 1862. 
 
 Atkyns, /. c, p. 303, says that William Tyndale was born at Nibley, ap- 
 parently on the authority of the History of the Hundred of Berkeley, written 
 by John Smith of Nibley; it is in MS. and at present, the property of Mr. Cook 
 of Berkeley Castle.

 Kitchens, Hychins, &c.) assumed by the Martyr on the 
 Continent, to which, according to the pedigree, he ap- 
 pears to have had a right. 
 
 The origin of Tyndale is still uncertain. William 
 was a favorite name among the Tyndales; it was borne 
 by one to whom thus far I have seen no reference ex- 
 cept in Wood's AtJience Oxon.,^ by another ordained by 
 the bishop of Pavada in 1503; and by a third, who 
 took monastic vows at Greenwich in 1509; the iden- 
 tity of either and both with the Reformer has been 
 challenged. 
 
 Equal uncertainty attaches to the date of his birth. 
 The incidental statement in Tyndale's Anfwer to Sir 
 Thomas More,^ that " thefe things to be even fo, M. More 
 knoweth well enough, for he underftandeth the Greek, 
 and he knew them long ere I ", has been adduced as 
 proof that Tyndale was younger than More and that 
 he was born after 1480. 
 
 The want of documentary evidence that More was 
 born in 1480, precludes all inference as to the date of 
 Tyndale's birth, nor does it follow from Tyndale's words 
 that More was his senior, for the latter may have known 
 the things referred to much longer than Tyndale and 
 yet have been his junior. A young person may have 
 been possessed of information for many years which has 
 not come to the knowledge of a much older person. 
 If Tyndale at the time of his martyrdom in 1536 was a 
 middle aged man, the earliest date of his birth would be 
 1476 and the latest i486. This is as near as we can get. 
 
 The statement of Foxe (see p. xvii.) that Tyndale was 
 "brought vp from a child in the vniuerfitie of Oxford, 
 where hee by long continuance grew, and encreafed 
 afwell in the knowlege of tongues, and other liberall 
 artes, as efpecially in the knowlege of Scriptures " war- 
 rants our connecting his stay at Oxford with Grocyn,

 who after 1491 " taught and read the Greek tongue 
 to the Oxonians after that way, which had not before, 
 I suppose, been taught in their University, became a 
 famihar friend of, or rather tutor to, Erasmus, and a 
 person in eminent renown for his learning."' While 
 Grocyn may have taught him Greek, there is but little 
 doubt that John Colet, who continued to lecture at 
 Oxford until 1505, influenced and shaped the theolog- 
 ical education of Tyndale. 
 
 Wood^ confirms the statements of Foxe, and a por- 
 trait of Tyndale formerly in the library, now in the 
 refectory of Magdalen Hall, bears the inscription:

 Lewis ^ says, " Of this picture I would have here given 
 the Reader a copy, but on view of it by an engraver

 it was not worth while to copy it." An engraving of 
 it is found in Offor's reprint of Tyndale's New Testa- 
 ment* and one made from another picture in the Man- 
 uscript of Tyndale described on a subsequent page. 
 
 The meagre and vague account of Foxe embraces 
 all that is known of Tyndale from the undefined time 
 of his removal to Cambridge, and his continuance there, 
 to his appearance about 1521 as tutor in the family of 
 Sir John Walsh at Little Sodbury in Gloucestershire.

 now be considered. The first is a Manuscript contain- 
 ing translations from the Gospels marked W. T. and 
 bearing the dates 1500 and 1502, described at length 
 p. Ivi. sqq. The second is the following entry in the 
 Register of Warham, then bishop of London, communi- 
 cated by G. Offor, Esq., to Professor Walter and trans- 
 cribed from his Biographical Notice of William Tyndale, 
 p. XV., prefixed to Doctrinal Treatises, &c., Cambridge, 
 1848. in-8.: 
 
 "Ordines generaliter celebrat. in ecclesia conventuali domi. sive prioratus 
 Sancti Barthi in Smylhfelde Londin. per Rev. prem. Dmn. Thoma Dei gratia 
 Pavaden. epm. aucte Rev. Pris Domini Willem permissione divina Londin. die

 Quingentesimo secundo. Presbn. Willnxs Tindale Carlii Dioc. p. li. di. ad ti 
 domus monialium de Lambley." 
 
 Concerning this record of a general ordination it is 
 claimed that the William Tyndale, ordained priest, could 
 not have been the Reformer, because he was neither a 
 native of the diocese Carlisle nor connected with its 
 jurisdiction. This is the statement of Professor Wal- 
 ter (/. c.), to which Mr. Demaus adds, that, " accord- 
 ing to ecclesiastical precedent, the person who was 
 ordained priest in March, 1503, could not have been 
 born later than 1478; but this was two years before 
 the birth of Sir Thomas More, and is, therefore, in- 
 compatible with what we know of Tyndale's age."^ 
 These inferences appear to me to be untenable for the 
 reasons stated p. xxiv., and without pretending to affirm 
 that the William Tyndale named in the Register is the 
 subject of this notice, I feel bound to insert the entry. 
 
 The third document is an inscription on the title- 
 page of Sermons de Herolt, a small folio, printed in 1495, 
 in the Cathedral Library of St. Paul's, worded as follows: 
 
 " Charitably pray for the soul of John Tyndale, who gave this book to the 
 monastery at Greenwich of the obseruance of the minor brothers, on the day 
 that brother William, his son, made his profession, in the year 1508." 2

 New Testament, p. 8.

 More flung the epithets friar and apostate at Luther, 
 CEcolampadius, Jerome, and Roye, render it highly 
 probable that Tyndale would have been regaled with 
 them had he deserted the said monastery close to a 
 favorite residence of Henry VIII. The circumstance 
 must have been known to Sir Thomas, and his silence 
 on the subject may be regarded as strong proof that 
 the inscription relates to another person who bore the 
 name of William Tyndale.^ 
 
 The account of Foxe, given above, with which should 
 be compared the much fuller narrative in the first edi- 
 tion of his Actes and Monumentes of 1563, appears to 
 have been derived from contemporary and authentic 
 sources; it covers the period of Tyndale's life at Lit- 
 tle Sodbury and in London; viz., from A. D. 1521 to 
 May, 1524. Mr. Demaus has collected every available 
 authority and produced two exceedingly interesting 
 chapters.^ 
 
 For Tyndale's movements on the Continent the ac- 
 count of Foxe is singularly unsatisfactory. The points 
 established by documentary evidence are the following: 
 Tyndale arrived in Hamburg sometime about May, 
 1524, and revisited that city in April, 1525.' The in- 
 terval he spent, according to contemporary authority, 
 with Luther at Wittenberg.* In September of that 
 year he was at Cologne with Roye and superintended 
 the printing of his English version of the New Tes- 
 tament which had advanced as far as the letter "K" 
 in the signature of the sheets, when, chiefly through 
 the instrumentality of Cochlaeus, further progress was 
 arrested. Most probably in October of the same year, 
 Tyndale and Roye fled to Worms where six thousand 
 copies of the first complete New Testament in En- 
 glish were printed during the ensuing winter.^ For 
 some time, perhaps a year, he remained unmolested

 at Worms. Probably early in 1526 he met Hermann 
 von dem Busche (a pupil of Reuchlin, the earliest Ger- 
 man Hebraist), who mentioned the matter to Spalatin 
 in a conversation which took place on, or the day after 
 St. Lawrence, that is, Aug. 11, 1526. Tlie entry in Spa- 
 latin'6 Diary, bearing that date, is given in Schelhor- 
 nii, Amoenitates Literarice^ IV., p. 431, under the head,

 empturos Novum Testamentum, etiamsi centenis millibus sris sit

 lice excusum esse." 
 
 The publication by Tyndale of the Prologe vpon the 
 Epijile to the Romans (1526) and of The Parable of the 
 Wicked Mammon, 8th of May, 1527, as well as the con- 
 tinuous influx of his Translation into England, rendered 
 it unsafe for him to continue at Worms, where the 
 said works had been printed, ^nd led him to seek and 
 find a hiding place so secure and well chosen that the 
 most diligent search of the emissaries of Henry VHI. 
 and Wolsey, set to possess themselves of his person, 
 proved wholly unavailing, and that to this hour no au- 
 thentic intelligence of its mysterious location has come 
 to light. 
 
 The meeting of Tyndale with Busche has given rise 
 to the wide spread story that the town of Marburg in 
 Hesse was his home in Germany. The account is pure- 
 ly inferential, and rests on two circumstances utterly 
 disconnected. The first is the undoubted fact that 
 Hermann von dem Busche was appointed professor of 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE OF TYNDALE. XXlX 
 
 Hebrew in the University of Marburg; the second is the 
 publication of a number of Tyndale's works containing, 
 some on the title-page, others in the colophon, the no- 
 tice that they had been printed by Hans Luft at Mal- 
 borow in the land of Hesse. Connecting these data 
 with the entry in Spalatin's Diary it has been rashly 
 inferred that Tyndale followed Busche to Marburg, 
 translated the Pentateuch there, wrote and printed a 
 number of pamphlets, held delightful and sympathetic 
 intercourse with leading personages connected with the 
 Reformation, and much more to the same effect. These 
 tatements were current and accepted as history until the 
 following facts, developed by inquiries addressed to the au- 
 thorities of the University of Marburg, were prihted in the 
 Hand Book of the English Versions, p. no sqq., London 
 and New York, 1883, and are here reproduced: > 
 
 It occurred to me that the best and surest way might be to open 
 direct communication on the subject with the authorities of the Uni- 
 versity of Marburg, and for that purpose I took occasion on Novem- 
 ber 7th, 1 88 1, to address a letter to the Rector Magnificus of that 
 university, inquiring among other matters: 
 
 1. If Hans Luft had a printing-press at Marburg ? and 
 
 2. If William Tyndale, as well as John Frith and Patrick Hamil- 
 ton, ever studied there ? 
 
 Professor Enhetterus very courteously handed my letter to Pro- 
 fessor Dr. Julius Caesar, the librarian of the University, and author 
 of Catalogus studiorum scholce Marpurgensis, Marburg, 1875, who 
 having thoroughly explored the archives of the University, and the 
 documents in the library of the same, is unquestionably the most 
 competent scholar to testify on the subject under consideration. 
 This scholar, in a letter to me, bearing date November 26th, 1881, 
 after briefly traversing the field of inquiry, informs me: 
 
 1 . That Hans Luft nevef- lived, and never had a printing-press, 
 at Marburg. 
 
 2. That while the Album of the University enumerates among 
 the matriculates for the year 1527 the following persons thus: 
 Patritius Hamilton, a Litgau, Scotus, mgr. Parisiensis, 
 lOANNES Hamilton, a Litgau, Scotus, 
 
 GiLBERTUS WiNRAM, EDINBURGENSIS, 
 
 there is no entry in the Album, or a trace in any document what- 
 ever in the archives of the University, that Tyndale atid Frith ever 
 were at Marburg. 
 
XXX 
 
 PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 Professor Caesar, moreover, agrees with me in the opinion that 
 the name of the printer, Hans Luft, and of the place of printing, 
 Marburg, i. e., Marlborow, in the land of Hesse, are fictitious, and 
 were probably selected to conceal the real place of printing from 
 Tyndale's enemies in England. He further coincides with me in 
 the belief that the statement of Tyndale having followed Hermann 
 von dem Busche to Marburg is simply an inferential conjecture . . . 
 
 The importance of the subject appears to me to render it desir- 
 able that the correspondence on it should be preserved; it is there- 
 fore produced here in the original, and the translation accompanying 
 it may prove useful to persons not familiar with German.

 Dem Rector Magnificus der Uni-

 Hochgeehrter Herr: Im Verfolg einer 
 geschichtlichen Untersuchung wage ich 
 es mich an Sie um Aufschluss Uber eine 
 Sache zu wenden, die auch fUr Sie nicht 
 ohne Interesse sein dtirfte. 
 
 Bei Gelegenheit der Bearbeitung citi- 
 es Aufsatzes tlber den englischen Bibel- 
 libersetzer William Tyndale fand ich, 
 dass eine Notiz folgenden Inhalts in ver- 
 schiedenen alteren Werken vorkOmmt, 
 die von den Neueren immer wiederholt 
 wird, und die, wie es mir scheint, bis 
 jetzt noch nicht durch historische Be- 
 lege ervviesen ist. 
 
 Die betreffende Notiz behauptet dass 
 William Tyndale einer der ersten Stu- 
 direnden in Marburg gewesen, und dass 
 verschiedene seiner Werke von Hans 
 Luft in Marburg gedruckt seien. 
 
 John Frith und Patrick Hamilton 
 soUen auch in Marburg studirt haben, 
 und der Name des Letzteren auf der 
 ersten Seite des Universitats-Registers 
 eingetragen sein. 
 
 Da es Ihnen vermOge Ihrer amtlichen 
 Stellung wohl nicht schwer sein dtlrfte, 
 diese Uberlieferungen zu verificiren, er- 
 laube ich mir bei Ihnen anzufragen, 
 
 1 . Ob Hans Luft eine Buchdruckerei 
 in Marburg gehabt hat, und 
 
 2. Ob das Universitats- Register ir- 
 gend welche authentische Nachrichten 
 tiber die in Frage stehenden PersOn- 
 lichkeiten enthitlt ?

 To THE Rector Magnificus of the 
 
 University of Marburg. 
 Very honored Sir: In the prosecu- 
 tion of an historical inquiry, I venture 
 to address you for information in a 
 matter which may not be void of in- 
 terest to you. 
 
 Engaged on the preparation of an 
 essay on the English Bible translator, 
 William Tyndale, I find the following 
 notice in older writers, which, though 
 persistently repeated by modem au- 
 thors, does not appear to me proven 
 by historical evidence. 
 
 The notice in question asserts that 
 William Tyndale was one of the first 
 students at Marburg and that several 
 of his works have been printed by Hans 
 Luft at Marburg. 
 
 John Frith and Patrick Hamilton are 
 also said to have studied at Marburg, 
 and that the name of the latter is re- 
 corded on the first page of the Uni- 
 versity Register. 
 
 As you, in virtue of your official 
 position, may not find it difficult to 
 verify these traditions, I beg leave to 
 inquire 
 
 1 . If Hans Luft ever had a printing- 
 press at Marburg ? and 
 
 2. If the University Register contains 
 authentic notices of the persons in 
 question ?

 Marburg, 26 Nov., 188 1. 
 Dem Ehrw. Herrn, Dr. Mombert. 
 
 Hochgeehrter Herr: Der zeitige 
 Rector unserer Universitat, Herr Pro- 
 fessor Ennetterus, hat mir Ihren an ihn 
 under dem 7. d. M. gerichteten Brief 
 zur Beantwortung Uberlassen, da ich 
 mich schon friiher mit der von Ihnen 
 gestellten Frage genauer beschaftigt 
 habe. Obgleich mir augenblicklich 
 nicht Alles gegenwJlrtig ist, was ich 
 einmal dartiber gewusst habe, vnd auch 
 die Zeit fehlt, die Nachforschung von 
 Neuem zu beginnen, so glaube ich Ihn- 
 en doch Uber einen Hauptpunkt eine 
 bestimmte Antwort geben zu kCnnen. 
 
 Es hat nie einen Buchdrucker Hans 
 Luft in Marburg gegeben AUerdings 
 existiren verschiedene Drucke mit sei- 
 nem Namen und dem Druckort Mar- 
 burg (Ma[r]lborough, Malborow, u. 
 a.) in the land of Hessia, die Sie unter 
 den Werken von Tyndale und von 
 Fryth bei Lowndes, in dem Oxforder 
 Katalog u. sonst angefUhrt finden, aber 
 es ist nicht zu bezweifeln, dass so wohl 
 der Druckort als der Name des Druck- 
 ers fingirt ist, vielleicht um den wahren 
 Druckort in England zu verbergen. 
 Man hat sich dabei der in der Ge- 
 schichte der Reformation berUhmten 
 Namen der Universitat Marburg und 
 des Wittenberger Druckers bedient, 
 und diese in eine durch Nichts gerecht- 
 fertigte Verbindung gebracht. 
 
 Es ist richtig dass Patrick Hamilton 
 in Marburg immatriculirt war; und sein 
 Name unter dem J. 1527 sich fol. 5 b. 
 
 Hoping that in the interest of histor- 
 ical truth you may be obliging enough 
 to communicate to me what you may 
 be able to learn on this subject, and 
 that you will kindly pardon the trouble 
 to which I put you, I beg you to be- 
 lieve me, with high regards. 
 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 J. I. Mombert. 
 
 Marburg, 2b Nov., 188 r. 
 To THE Rev. Dr. Mombert. 
 
 Very honored Sir: The temporary 
 Rector of our University, Professor Mr. 
 Ennetterus, has requested me to answer 
 the letter you addressed to him on the 
 7th inst, as I have already more fully 
 considered the question you have sub- 
 mitted to him. Although I do not at 
 this moment recollect all that at one 
 time I knew on the subject, and lack 
 the necessary leisure to begin the re- 
 search anew, I nevertheless believe to 
 be able to give you a definite reply con- 
 cerning a principal point. 
 
 There has never existed at Marburg 
 a printer of the name of Hans Luft. 
 There exist, to be sure, sundry printed 
 works with his name and Marburg 
 (Ma[r]lborough, Malborow, etc.) in 
 the land of Hesse, as the place of 
 printing, which you will find under 
 the works of Tyndale and Fryth in 
 Lowndes, in the Oxford Catalogue, and 
 elsewhere, but it cannot be doubted 
 that both the place of printing and the 
 name of the printer are fictitious, prob- 
 ably for the purpose of concealing the 
 true place of printing (from the au- 
 thorities) in England. For that pur- 
 pose the names of Marburg and of the 
 Wittenberg printer, celebrated in the 
 history of the Reformation, have been 
 employed and connected together with- 
 out anything to justify it. 
 
 It is correct that Patrick Hamilton 
 matriculated at Marburg, and that his 
 name is entered under the year 1527

 Aber dass Tyndale und Fryth wirk- 
 lich hier in Marburg gewesen seien, 
 davon habe ich nirgends eine urkund- 
 liche Spur finden kOnnen; in unserm 
 Album kommen sie nicht vor. Was 
 Lorimer in seinem Buch (iber Hamil-

 indem er sich auf Anderson's Annals

 habe ich leider bis jetzt nicht controli-

 Werkes besitzen (das auch in Gottin- 
 gen nicht vorhanden ist.) Ich weiss 
 nicht wo der von ihm erwahnte Brief 
 von Hermann von dam Busche an 
 Spalatin gedruckt ist. Geht daraus 
 hervor, dass Tyndale bei diesem im J. 
 1526 in Worms war, so scheint das 
 Weitere, dass er dem im J. 1527 nach 
 Marburg tibergesiedelten B. dahin ge-

 Druckort gestutzte Vermuthung zusein. 
 Es wUrde mir sehr interessant sein, 
 vrenn Ihre Forschungen Uber Tyndale

 Mir selbst haben die Mittel nicht

 But that Tyndale and Fryth were 
 really here at Marburg, I have not 
 been able to find a documentary trace 
 thereof anywhere ; their name does not 
 occur in our Album. What Lorimer 
 in his book on Hamilton (Edinb., 
 1857), p. 93, sq. narrates with refer- 
 ence to Anderson's ^w<2:/j of the Bible, 
 I., p. 139, 167, I regret to have been 
 thus far unable to verify, as we have 
 only the second abridged edition of 
 Anderson (nor is there a copy of it at 
 Gottingen). I do not know where the 
 letter of Hermann von dem Busche to 
 Spalatin, to which he refers, is printed. 
 If it states that Tyndale was with him 
 at Worms in 1526, the rest, that he 
 followed B. on his removal to Mar- 
 burg in 1527, appears to be a conjec- 
 ture based on the fictitious place of 
 printing. 
 
 It would be interesting to me if your 
 researches respecting Tyndale should 
 lead to more certain and positive re- 
 sults. 
 
 I myself did not possess the means 
 to accomplish it, nor the time to prose, 
 cute the matter by inquiries directed to 
 larger libraries, or in England, but I 
 have not lost it out of sight.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE OF TYNDALE. xxxill 
 
 In the absence of all authentic data as to the place 
 covered by the pseudonyme Malborow in the lande of 
 Hesse, we only know from the foregoing correspondence 
 that it does not designate Marburg on the Lahn, and 
 in the endeavor to identify that mysterious abode it is 
 proper to remember that it must have been a place of 
 safety and ready access, affording to Tyndale facilities 
 in the pursuit of his literary labors and conveniences 
 for the printing of his works. 
 
 As the emissaries of Henry VIII. and Wolsey had 
 scoured the valley of the Rhine in pursuit of the exile, 
 Cologne, Mayence, Worms, Speyer, and Strassburg must 
 be ruled out, and as inquiries for him had been made 
 at Niirnberg and Frankfurt, those cities also must be 
 excluded. This narrows the inquiry and, if his place of 
 concealment was in Germany, limits it to two places, 
 Hamburg and Wittenberg. 
 
 Foxe, after his account of the shipwreck and visit to 
 Hamburg, given p. xix., adds in Actes and Monumentes 
 after " the whole fiue books of Mofes " the words, "from 
 Easter till December, in the houfe of a worfhipful wid- 
 ow, Mrs. Margaret Van Emmerson, anno 1529, a great 
 sweating ficknesse being at the time in the town. So 
 having dispatched his bufmess at Hamborough, he re- 
 turned afterward to Antwerp again." 
 
 The circumstantial character of the narrative invests 
 it with a certain degree of authority, for the "sweating 
 ficknesse" did rage in 1529 in Hamburg, and the name 
 of the lady has been verified as that of a person then liv- 
 ing there, who was the relict of a senator, and entitled to 
 be called worshipful. The only inaccuracy appears to be 
 the notice of the strange appointment with Coverdale, 
 for though the meeting may have occurred, the assist- 
 ance, as stated, could hardly have been rendered by him 
 at that early date, when his knowledge of Hebrew must 
 have been in a stage of tenderest infancy. 
 
 It has been rather rashly asserted that Tyndale could 
 not have mynded to print Deuteronomy at Hamburg, 
 there being no evidence that a printer existed there

 in 1529. This is clearly wrong, for Panzer, Annates 
 Typogr., vol. i., p. 453, has, under HAMBURGI, the 
 following entry:

 It is therefore not by any means improbable that 
 Tyndale should have been mynding to print at Ham- 
 burg. Foxe seems to imply that the first four books 
 of the Pentateuch were already printed, and to contra- 
 dict himself in saying that Coverdale "helped hym in 
 the translatyng of the whole fiue bookes of Mofes." Or 
 are we to infer that Coverdale was engaged on the work 
 during Tyndale's absence at Antwerp ? The case is 
 rather knotty, but perhaps not impossible to solve. 
 Tyndale might have translated at Hamburg and have 
 the printing done at Wittenberg, for the traffic on the 
 Elbe is of very ancient date. 
 
 But, on the whole, probability seems to point to 
 Wittenberg as the place where Tyndale translated the 
 Pentateuch and had it printed. 
 
 The repeated use of the name of Hans Luft, the fa- 
 mous printer at Wittenberg (in The obedience of a Chrif- 
 tian Man, in 1528, The Expofition in to the feuenth Chap- 
 tre of the firji pijile to the Corinthians, in 1529, in the Boke 
 of Genefis and the Practife of popifhe Prelates, in 1530), 
 appears to indicate some distinct connection. Luft's 
 well-known interest in the movement of the Reforma- 
 tion renders it not improbable that he would sanction 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE OF TYNDALE. xxxv 
 
 the employment of a pseudonyme which, though it could 
 not hurt him, might aid Tyndale and mislead his pur- 
 suers. Wittenberg again was a much safer place than 
 Hamburg it was especially a spot which men of the 
 Rinck and Cochlaeus stamp shunned like the pestilence, 
 and where the powerful influence of the Reformers would 
 shield the desolate English exile. The printing press of 
 Luft was one of the best and most busy in Germany and 
 the literary resources of the place were certainly equal, 
 probably superior, to every other seat of learning in 
 Germany. After Tyndale's death John Rogers, his lit- 
 erary executor, is said to have lived at Wittenberg, to 
 have filled an ecclesiastical position there, and to have 
 produced there the book known as Matthew's Bible. 
 
 The appearance of Rogers at Wittenberg, so remote 
 from Antwerp, appears to favor the supposition that 
 he went there at the instance of Tyndale, or in conse- 
 quence of information received from him. 
 
 Attention is called to a circumstance of peculiar interest, 
 which possibly may shed light on the question in hand: it 
 is the undoubted fact, proved by the notes in this volume, 
 that Tyndale and Rogers made use of the Chaldee Para- 
 phrase, which, as far as I have been able to learn, existed, 
 down to the date of the preparation of Tyndale's Penta- 
 teuch, only in costly folio editions of the Hebrew Bible. 
 Wherever Tyndale kept concealed, he must have had 
 access to one or other of the works mentioned in Helps 
 used by Tyndale, and in this respect again, Wittenberg 
 seems to meet the requirements of the case.^ 
 
 The facilities of travel to and from Wittenberg, de- 
 serve also to be considered. The bad and insecure state 
 of the highways of Germany in the sixteenth century 
 rendered travel not only difficult but very expensive. 
 The frequent journeys of Tyndale suggest the proba- 
 bility that he chose the safest and cheapest mode of 
 travel. He was practically regarded as an outlaw, and 
 
 1 Additional details relating to the Pentateuch are given in the bibliograph- 
 ical notice of the volume, Chapter III. I understand that an octavo edition 
 of the Chaldee Paraphrase was also in circulation.

 it is difficult to surmise the expedients by which on 
 overland journeys he could have eluded the vigilance of 
 those who tried their utmost to seize him. He ran no 
 such risk on the water route from Wittenberg down the 
 Elbe to Hamburg and thence by sea to Antwerp; this 
 appears a not improbable solution of the suddenness of 
 his movements in that city. 
 
 But wherever he had made his home, we know that 
 he left it on at least two occasions, to visit Antwerp. 
 His first visit took place in 1529, and is thus referred 
 to by Hall: 
 
 " Here it is to be remembered that at this present time William 
 Tyndale had newly translated and imprinted the New Testament 
 in English; and the Bishop of London, not pleased with the trans- 
 lation thereof, debated with himself how he might compass and 
 devise to destroy that false and erroneous translation (as he said); 
 and so it happened that one Augustine Packington, a merchant 
 and mercer of London, and of a great honesty, the same time was 
 in Antwerp where the Bishop then was, and this Packington was 
 a man that highly favoured Tyndale, but to the Bishop utterly 
 showed himself to the contrary. 
 
 "The Bishop, desirous to have his purpose brought to pass, 
 communed of the New Testaments, and how gladly he would buy 
 them, Packington, then, hearing that he wished for, said unto the 
 Bishop, ' My lord, if it be your pleasure, I can in this matter do 
 more, I dare say, than most of the merchants of England that are 
 here; for I know the Dutchmen and strangers that have bought 
 them of Tyndale and have them here to sell; so that if it be your 
 lordship's pleasure to pay for them (for otherwise I canhot come 
 by them but I must disburse money for them), I will then assure 
 you to have every book of them that is imprinted and is here 
 unsold.' The Bishop, thinking he had God by the toe, when indeed 
 he had, as after he thought, the Devil by the fist, said, ' Gentle Mr. 
 Packington, do your diligence and get them; and with all my heart 
 I will pay for them whatsoever they cost you, for the books are er- 
 roneous and nought, and I intend surely to destroy them all, and 
 to burn them at St. Paul's Cross.' Augustine Packington came to 
 William Tyndale, and said, 'William, I know thou art a poor man, 
 and hast a heap of New Testaments and books by thee, for the 
 which thou hast both endangered thy friends and beggared thyself; 
 and I have now gotten thee a merchant, which with ready money 
 shall despatch thee of all that thou hast, if you think it so profitable 
 for yourself.' ' Who is the merchant ? ' said Tyndale. ' The Bishop

 of London,' said Packington, 'Oh, that is because he will burn 
 them,' said Tyndale. 'Yea, marry,' quoth Packington. 'I am the 
 gladder,' said Tyndale, ' for these two benefits shall come thereof: 
 I shall get money to bring myself out of debt, and the whole world 
 will cry out against the burning of God's Word, and the overplus 
 of the money that shall remain to me shall make me more studious 
 to correct the said New Testament, and so newly to imprint the 
 same once again, and I trust the second will much better like you 
 than ever did the first.' And so, forward went the bargain; the 
 Bishop had the books; Packington had the thanks; and Tyndale 
 had the money. 
 
 " After this Tyndale corrected the same New Testaments again, 
 and caused them to be newly imprinted, so that they came thick 
 and threefold into England. When the Bishop perceived that, he 
 sent for Packington, and said to him, ' How cometh this, that there 
 are so many New Testaments abroad ? You promised me that 
 you would buy them all.' Then answered Packington, 'Surely, 
 I bought all that wer6 to be had: but I perceive they have printed 
 more since. I see it will never be better so long as they have letters 
 and stamps [for printing with]: wherefore you were best to buy 
 the stamps too, and so you shall be sure; ' at which answer the 
 Bishop smiled, and so the matter ended. 
 
 " In short space after, it fortuned that George Constantine was 
 apprehended by Sir Thomas More, who was then Chancellor of 
 England [made Chancellor October 24, 1529], suspected of certain 
 heresies. During the time that he was in the custody of Master 
 More, after divers communications, amongst other things Mas- 
 ter More asked of him, saying, ' Constantine, I would have thee 
 be plain with me in one thing that I will ask; and I promise thee 
 I will show thee favour in all other things, whereof thou art ac- 
 cused. There is beyond the sea, Tyndale, Joye, and a great many 
 of you: I know they cannot live without help. There are some that 
 help and succour them with money; and thou, being one of them, 
 hadst thy part thereof, and therefore knowest from whence it came. 
 I pray thee, tell me, who be they that help them thus ? ' ' My lord,' 
 quoth Constantine, ' I will tell you truly: it is the Bishop of London 
 that hath holpen us, for he hath bestowed among us a great deal of 
 money upon New Testaments to burn them; and that hath been, 
 and yet is, our only succour and comfort.' ' Now, by my troth,' 
 quoth More, ' I think even the same, for so much I told the Bishop 
 before he went about it.' " ' 
 
 In connection with this visit to Antwerp, preceding 
 the printing of the Pentateuch at the mysterious " Mal- 
 
 1 Hall's Chronicle; Foxe, Vol. IV., p. 670, etc., cited by Demaus, /. c.^ 
 p. 221 sqq. 
 
xxxviii PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 borow in the lande of Hesse," Mr. Demaus^ has sug- 
 gested, with great show of probability, that part of the 
 money proceeding from the sale of New Testaments to 
 the bishop of London, was applied to the purchase of 
 the blocks of the eleven woodcuts of the tabernacle 
 and its furniture scattered over the book of Exodus. 
 
 The cuts appear in Vostermann's Dutch folio Bible 
 of 1528, a copy of which has been kindly loaned me 
 for comparison with the illustrations in Tyndale's Pen- 
 tateuch. They are doubtless identical, although act- 
 ual measurement shows that some have been slightly 
 trimmed and others slightly enlarged, but the reduc- 
 tion and extension applies only to the edges and does 
 not touch the objects represented. 
 
 Mr. Demaus has called attention to the circumstance 
 that a subsequent edition of the same Bible published in 
 1532 contains a new set of illustrations, from which he 
 infers that the change was due to the sale of the first 
 set to Tyndale, and states: "whatever else, therefore, 
 Tyndale may have done with any money received from 
 Tunstal, it seems highly probable that he purchased 
 with it the blocks which were employed in the book 
 of Exodus; and the rude woodcuts of this rare work 
 are thus invested with a curious interest, when we look 
 at them as virtually the contribution of that prelate, 
 who prided himself on his zeal in condemning and 
 burning the English Bible." 
 
 Tyndale paid a second visit to Antwerp in the spring 
 of 1 531, doubtless in response to a letter from Ste- 
 phen Vaughan, envoy to the princess-regent of the 
 Netherlands, holding out to the exile hopes of pardon. 
 Vaughan, as appears from a despatch to Henry VHI., 
 dated Barrugh, Jan. 26, 1530 [i. e., 1531] had tried to 
 open communication with Tyndale. He says. "... I 
 have written three sundry letters unto William Tyndale, 
 and the same sent for the more safety to three sundry 
 places, to Frankforde, Hanborughe, and Marleborugh. 
 I then not [being] assured in which of the same he was,

 and had very good hope, after I heard say in England, 
 that he would, upon the promise of your Majesty, and of 
 your most gracious safe conduct, be content to repair 
 and come into England."^ 
 
 That letter reached Tyndale, and hardly three months 
 later he sought an interview with Vaughan, who nar- 
 rates it in his letter to the king as follows: 
 
 "The day before the date hereof [/. e., April 17] I spake with 
 Tyndale without the town of Antwerp, and by this means: he sent 
 a certain person to seek me, whom he had advised to say that a cer- 
 tain friend of mine, unknown to the messenger, was very desirous 
 to speak with me; praying me to take pains to go unto him, to such 
 place as he should bring me. Then I to the messenger, ' What 
 is your friend, and where is he ? ' ' His name I know not,' said he; 
 'but if it be your pleasure to go where he is, I will be glad thither 
 to bring you.' Thus, doubtful what this matter meant, I concluded 
 to go with him, and followed him till he brought me without the 
 gates of Antwerp, into a field lying nigh unto the same; where was 
 abiding me this said Tyndale. At our meeting, ' Do you not know 
 me ?' said this Tyndale. 'I do not well remember you,' said I to 
 him. 'My name,' said he, 'is Tyndale.' 'But Tyndale!' said I, 
 'Fortunate be our meeting.' Then Tyndale, 'Sir, I have been ex- 
 ceedingly desirous to speak with you.' 'And I with you; what is 
 your mind?' 'Sir,' said he, 'I am informed that the king's grace 
 taketh great displeasure with me for putting forth of certain books, 
 which I lately made in these parts; but specially for the book named 
 the Practice of Prelates; whereof I have no little marvel, considering 
 that in it I did but warn his grace of the subtle demeanour of the 
 clergy of his realm towards his person, and of the shameful abusions 
 by them practised, not a little threatening the displeasure of his 
 grace and weal of his realm: in which doing I shewed and declared 
 the heart of a true subject, which sought the safeguard of his royal 
 person and weal of his commons, to the intent that his grace, thereof 
 warned, might in due time prepare his remedy against their subtle 
 dreams. If [it be] for my pains therein taken, if for my poverty, if 
 for mine exile out of my natural country, and bitter absence from 
 my friends, if for my hunger, my thirst, my cold, the great danger 
 wherewith I am everywhere compassed, and finally if for innumerable 
 other hard and sharp fightings which I endure, not yet feeling of 
 their asperity, by reason I hoped with my labours to do honour to 
 God, true service to my prince, and pleasure to his commons; how

 is it that his grace, this considering, may either by himself think; 
 or by the persuasions of other be brought to think, that in this 
 doing I should not shew a pure mind, or true and incorrupt zeal 
 and affection to his grace ? Was there in me any such mind, when 
 I warned his grace to beware of his cardinal, whose iniquity he 
 shortly after proved according to my writing ? Doth this deserve 
 hatred ? Again, may his grace, being a Christian prince, be so un- 
 kind to God, which hath commanded his word to be spread through- 
 out the world, to give more faith to wicked persuasions of men, 
 which presuming above God's wisdom, and contrary to that which 
 Christ expressly commandeth in his testament, dare say that it is 
 not lawful for the people to have the same in a tongue that they 
 understand; because the purity thereof should open men's eyes to 
 see their wickedness ? Is there more danger in the king's subjects 
 than in the subjects of all other princes, which in every of their 
 tongues have the same, under privilege of their sufferance ? As I 
 now am, very death were more pleasant to me than life, considering 
 man's nature to be such as can bear no truth.' 
 
 " Thus, after a long conversation had between us, for my part 
 making answer as my wit would serve me, which were too long to 
 write, I assayed him with gentle persuasions, to know whether he 
 vi'ould come into England; ascertaining him that means should be 
 made, if he thereto were minded, without his peril or danger, that 
 he might so do: and that what surety he would advise for the same 
 purpose, should, by labour of friends, be obtained of your majesty. 
 But to this he answered, that he neither would nor durst come into 
 England, albeit your grace would promise him never so much 
 surety; fearing lest, as he hath before written, your promise made 
 should shortly be broken, by the persuasion of the clergy, which 
 would affirm that promises made with heretics ought not to be kept." 
 
 " After this, he told me how he had finished a work against my 
 lord chancellor's book, and would not put it in print till such time as 
 your grace had seen it; because he apperceiveth your displeasure 
 towards him for hasty putting forth of his other work, and because 
 it should appear that he is not of so obstinate mind as he thinks he 
 is reported to your grace. This is the substance of his communica- 
 tion had with me, which as he spake, I have written to your grace, 
 word for word, as near as I could by any possible means bring to 
 remembrance. My trust therefore is, that your grace will not but 
 take my labours in the best part I thought necessary to be written 
 unto your grace. After these words, he then, being something fear- 
 ful of me, lest I would have pursued him, and drawing also towards 
 night, he took his leave of me, and departed from the town, and I 
 toward the town, saying, I should shortly, peradventure, see him 
 again, or if not, hear from him.' Howbeit I suppose he .-ifteiward 
 returned to the town by another way; for there is no likelihood that 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE OF TYNDALE. xli 
 
 he should lodge without the town. Hasty to pursue him I was not, 
 because I was in some likelihood to speak shortly again with him; 
 and in pursuing him I might perchance have failed of my purpose, 
 and put myself in danger. 
 
 "To declare to your majesty what, in my poor judgment, I think 
 of the man, I ascertain your grace, I have not communed with a 
 man " ' 
 
 The effect of this letter on Henry is clearly stated in 
 the reply written by Cromwell, who appears to have sub- 
 stituted, not improbably at the King's dictation, the harsh 
 expressions given in the text for the more temperate 
 forms of the original draft, as printed in the footnotes. 
 
 "Stephen Vaughan, I commend me unto you; and have received 
 your letters, dated at Andwerpe, the xviii. day of April, with also that 
 part of Tyndale's book inclosed in leather, which ye with your letters 
 directed to the king's highness; after the receipt whereof I did repair 
 unto the court, and there presented the same unto his royal majesty, 
 who made me answer for that time, that his highness at opportune 
 leisure should read the contents as well of your letters as also the 
 said book. And at my next repair thither it pleased his highness to 
 call for me, declaring unto me as well the contents of your letters, 
 as also much matter contained in the said book of Tyndale. * * *

 behalf should be frustrate and not to take effecte, according to their 
 good intent and purpose." 
 
 Cromwell then adverts to Frith (or Fryth) saying 
 that the King, " hearing tell of his towardness in good 
 letters and learning, doth much lament that he should 
 apply his learning to the maintaining, bolstering, and

 advancing the venemous and pestiferous works, errone- 
 ous and seditious opinions of Tyndale;" and begging 
 Vaughan to use his influence with Frith " to leave his 
 wilful opinions, and like a good Christian to return unto 
 his native country where he assuredly shall find the 
 king's highness most merciful, and benignly, upon his 
 conversion, disposed to accept him to his grace and 
 mercy." The letter concludes with an exhortation to 
 Vaughan, "for his love of God, utterly to forsake, leave 
 and withdraw his affection from the said Tyndale, and 
 all his sect."^ 
 
 Cromwell added a postscript, after the letter had 
 been read and approved by the king, which virtually 
 nullified its contents, for he said: "Notwithstanding the 
 premises in my letter, if it were possible by good and 
 wholesome exhortations to reconcile and convert the 
 said Tyndale ... I doubt not but the king's highness 
 would be much joyous of his conversion . . . and if then 
 he would return into this realm . . . undoubtedly the 
 king's majesty refuseth none."^ 
 
 Upon the receipt of Cromwell's letter, Vaughan had 
 a second interview with Tyndale, the account of which 
 is given in his reply, dated Bergen-op-Zoom, May i8, 
 as follows: 
 
 " I have again been in hand to persuade Tyndale. And to draw 
 him the rather to favour my persuasions, and not to think the same 
 feigned, I shewed him a clause contained in master Cromwell's letter 
 containing these words following: And notwithstanding other the 
 premises, in this my letter contained, if it were possible, by good 
 and wholesome exhortations, to reconcile and convert the said Tyn- 
 dale from the train and affection which he now is in, and to excerpte 
 and take away the opinions sorely rooted in him, I doubt not but 
 the kings highness would be much joyous of his conversion and 
 amendment; and so beittg converted, if then he would return into 
 his realm, undoubtedly the king's royal majesty is so inclined to

 mercy, pity, and compassion, that he refuseth none which he seeth 
 to submit themselves to the obedience and good order of the world. 
 In these words I thought to be such sweetness and virtue as were 
 able to pierce the hardest heart of the world; and, as I thought, so 
 it came pass. For after sight thereof I perceived the man to be 
 exceedingly altered, and to take the same very near unto his heart, 
 in such wise that water stood in his eyes; and he answered, ' What 
 gracious words are these ! I assure you,' said he, ' if it would stand 
 with the king's most gracious pleasure to grant only a bare text of 
 the scripture to be put forth among his people, like as is put forth 
 among the subjects of the emperor in these parts, and of other 
 Christian princes, be it of the translation of what person soever shall 
 please his majesty, I shall immediately make faithful promise never 
 to write more, nor abide two days in these parts after the same; but 
 immediately repair into his realm, and there most humbly submit 
 myself at the feet of his royal majesty, offering my body to suffer 
 what pain or torture, yea, what death his grace will, so that this be 
 obtained. And till that time I will abide the asperity of all chances, 
 whatsoever shall come, and endure my life in as much pains as it 
 is able to bear and suffer. And as concerning my reconcilation, his 
 grace may be assured, that whatsoever I may have said or written 
 in all my life against the honour of God's word, and so proved, the 
 same shall I before his majesty and all the world utterly renounce 
 and forsake; and with most humble and meek mind embrace the 
 truth, abhorring all error soever, at the most gracious and benign 
 request of his royal majesty, of whose wisdom, prudence and learn- 
 ing I hear mo great praise and commendation, than of any creature 
 living. But if those things which I have written be true and stand 
 with God's word, why should his majesty, having so excellent a gi 
 of knowledge in the scriptures, move me to do any thing against 
 my conscience ? ' with many other words which be too long to 
 write. I have some good hope in the man; and would not doubt to 
 bring him to some good point, were it that something, now and 
 then, might proceed from your majesty towards me, whereby the 
 man might take the better comfort of my persuasions. I advertised 
 the same Tyndale that he should not put forth the same book, till 
 your most gracious pleasure were known: whereunto he answered, 
 'mine advertisement came too late; for he feared lest one that had 
 his copy would put it very shortly in print, which he would let 
 if he could; if not, there is no remedy.' I shall stay it as much as I 
 can, as yet it is not come forth; nor will not in a while, by that I 
 perceive."'

 Vaughan had yet another conversation with Tyndale, 
 for he writes on June 19: " I have spoken with Tyndale, 
 and shewed him as you wrote me the king's royal pleas- 
 ure was, but I find him always singing one note."' 
 
 This concludes the negotiations set on foot by Crom- 
 well to induce Tyndale to return to England, and our 
 knowledge of him, except through his writings, until his 
 final settlement at Antwerp in the summer of 1534. 
 
 The following passage in a letter of Poyntz, bearing 
 date August 25 (Cotton MSS. Galba. B. X.) fixes the date 
 of Tyndale's final settlement at Antwerp. "This man 
 [William Tyndale] was lodged with me three quarters of 
 a year, and was taken out of my house by a sergeant-at- 
 arms, otherwise called a dore-wardore, and the Procureur- 
 General of Brabant." Reckoning backward from the day 
 of his arrest, established by the official statement given 
 in the note^ to have occurred on the 23rd or 24th of May, 
 1535, Tyndale seems to have reached Antwerp sometime 
 in August, 1534. 
 
 The extract from Foxe (p. xxi.), gives a clear account 
 of his life there. It is perhaps not unnecessary to add 
 that he held no official position, but engaged in the vol- 
 untary work of an Evangelist. Rogers arrived at Ant- 
 werp sometime in the autumn of that year as English 
 Chaplain and his acquaintance with Tyndale speedily 
 ripened into friendship. He worked with him and there

 ment, given by Demaus, /. c. p. 498. The date of Tyndale's martyrdom, ac- 
 cording to Foxe, is October 6, 1536, and his arrest consequently occurred on 
 the 23rd or 24th of May, 1535.

 is no reason to doubt the statement that the papers of 
 Tyndale passed into his hands, and that he embodied in 
 his edition of the Bible, known as Matthew's Bible, the 
 remaining books of the Scripture which Tyndale had trans- 
 lated, viz., the books of Joshua, Judges; i and 2 Samuel, i 
 and 2 Kings, i and 2 Chronicles.' His literary labors at 
 Antwerp resulted in the revised edition of the book of Gen- 
 esis and the revision of the New Testament; both were 
 published in 1534. How much of the other books just 
 named was done between 1534 and 1536 is not known. 
 
 The letter of Tebold or Theobald, a godson of Crom- 
 well, who seems to have been instructed to collect infor- 
 mation on the circumstances connected with the arrest 
 of Tyndale, is a valuable addition to the narrative of Foxe 
 (see page xx.). 
 
 " News here, at this time, be none, but that here is most earnest 
 communication that the French Queen [Leonora, sister of the Em- 
 peror; Charles V.] and her sister the Queen of Hungary [the Regent 
 of the Low Countries], shall meet together at Cambray now afore 
 Michaelmas. All these Low Countries here be most earnest with 
 the Bishop of Rome and his traditions; and therefore he hath now 
 sweetly rewarded them, sending them his deceitful blessing, with 
 remission of all their sins, so [on the condition thatj they fast three 
 days together, and this is given gratis without any money. Here 
 is an evil market [a bad bargain for the pope], that whereas he was 
 wont to sell his pardons by great suit and money, now he is glad 
 to offer them for nothing. And yet a great many make no haste to 
 receive them where they be offered. I do hear of certain that the 
 Bishop of Rome is contented, and doth desire to have a General 
 Council, and that this matter is earnestly entreated of divers. I am 
 sure, if this be truth, your Lordship have heard of it or this time,^ 
 more at large. 
 
 " He that did take Tyndale is abiding at Louvain, with whom 
 I did there speak; which doth not only there rejoice of that act, 
 but goeth about to do many more Englishmen like displeasure; and 
 did advance this, I being present, with most railing words against 
 our King, his Highness, calling him 'Tyrannum ac expilatorem rei- 
 publicae ' \tyr ant and robber of the Commonwealth']. He is appointed 
 to go shortly from Louvain to Paris in France, and there to tarry, 
 because he feareth that English merchants that be in Antwerp will 
 hire some men privily to do him some displeasure unawares.

 "Pleaseth it your Grace that I have delivered your letters unto 
 Mr. Thomas Leigh [a merchant held in much esteem by Cranmer 
 and Vaughan], which, according to your v^^riting, hath delivered 
 unto me twenty crowns of the [same], which money, God willing, 
 I will deliver where your Grace hath assigned. Within these six- 
 teen days I take my journey from Antwerp about the last day of 
 July [letter begun, therefore, July 15th]. And because at my first 
 arrivance to Antwerp I found company ready to go up withal to 
 Cologne [on his way to Nuremberg], I went to see my old acquaint- 
 ance at Louvain; whereas [where] I found Doctor Bockenham, 
 sometime prior in the Black Friars in Cambridge; and another of his 
 brethren with him. I had no leisure to commune long with them; 
 but he showed me that at his departing from England he went 
 straight to Edinburgh in Scotland, there continuing unto [Easter] 
 last past [March 28] ; and then came over to Louvain, where he and 
 his companions doth continue in the house of the Black Friars there; 
 having little acquaintance [or] comfort but for their money; for they 
 pay for their [meat] and drink a certain sum of money in the year. 
 All succour that I can perceive them to have is only by him which 
 hath taken Tyndale, called Harry Philips, with whom I had long 
 and familiar communication, [for] I made him believe that I was 
 minded to tarry and study at Louvain. I could not perceive the 
 contrary by his communication, but that Tyndale shall diej which 
 he doth follow, \i. e., urge on], and procureth with all diligent en- 
 deavour, rejoicing much therein; saying that he had a commission 
 out also for to have taken Doctor Barnes and George Joye with 
 other. Then I showed him that it was conceived both in England 
 and in Antwerp that George Joye should be \i. e., had been] of coun- 
 sel with him in taking of Tyndale; and he answered that he never 
 saw George Joye to his knowledge, much less he should know him. 
 This I do write, because George Joye is greatly blamed and abused 
 among merchants, and many other that were his friends, falsely and 
 wrongfully. 
 
 " But this foresaid Harry Philips showed me that there was no 
 man of his counsel but a monk of Stratford Abbey, beside London 
 [Stratford-le-Bow], called Gabriel Donne, which at that time was 
 student at Louvain, and in house with this foresaid Harry Philips. 
 But now within these five or six weeks he is come to England, and, 
 by the help of Mr. Secretary, hath obtained an abbey of a thousand 
 njarks by the year in the west country. 
 
 "This said Philips is greatly afraid, (in so much as I can per- 
 ceive,) that the English merchants that be in Antwerp, will lay 
 watch to do him some displeasure privily. Wherefore of truth he 
 hath sold his books, in Louvain, to the value of twenty marks worth 
 sterling, intending to go hence to Paris; and doth tarry here upon 
 nothing but of the return of his servant which he has long since 
 
xlviii PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 sent to England with letters. And by cause of his long tarrying, 
 he is marvellously afraid lest he be taken and come into Master 
 Secretary's handling, with his letters. Either this Philips hath 
 great friends in England to maintain him here; or else, as he showed 
 me, he is well beneficed in the bishopric of Exeter. He raileth at 
 Louvain and in the Queen of Hungary's Court, most shamefully 
 against our King his Grace and others [Cranmer and Cromwell 
 probably]. For, I being present, he called our King his Highness, 
 tyrannum, expilatorem reipubliccB, with many other railing words, 
 rejoicing that he trusteth to see the Emperor to scourge his High- 
 ness with his Council and friends. Also he saith, that Mr. Secre- 
 tary hath privily gone about matters, here in Flanders and Brabant, 
 which are secretly come to the knowledge of the Queen of Hungary, 
 the Governess here, which she reckoneth, one day, at her pleasure 
 and time, to declare to his rebuke. What this meaneth I cannot tell, 
 neither I could hear no farther; but if I had tarried there any time, 
 I should have heard more," etc. 
 
 " Written at Antwerp the last day of July, by your bedeman and 
 servant, ever to my small power, Thomas Tebold."i 
 
 The plot to seize Tyndale and to bring him to trial 
 for heresy was doubtless due to astute contrivance in Eng- 
 land, but thus far no positive evidence has been discov- 
 ered to fasten the charge either on Gardiner or any one 
 else. Donne and Phillips are admitted to have acted 
 under instructions of persons strong in pecuniary ability, 
 adepts in craft, and invincible in hatred. Henry VIIL 
 and Cromwell cannot be charged with complicity, but 
 may not be exonerated from indifference and neglect. 
 Once in the meshes of the law, as administered in Flan- 
 ders, the fate of Tyndale was sealed, but though his 
 extradition could not be demanded de jure, the influ- 
 ence of an accredited "man of reputation" might have 
 secured his liberation.^ 
 
 The chief promoter and agent in stirring up interest on 
 behalf of Tyndale was Poyntz, whose narrative given by 
 Foxe at great length cannot be reproduced here. In re-

 sponse to his indefatigable energy and self-denial he ob- 
 tained letters from Cromwell, but his efforts were cut 
 short by his own arrest and imprisonment, brought about 
 by Phillips, who had preferred against him also the 
 charge of heresy.^ 
 
 The record of the trial of Tyndale appears to have 
 been destroyed or lost. From a document in the Archives 
 of the Chambre des Comptes at Brussels the names of the 
 leading members of the commission nominated for his 
 trial by the Regent, Mary of Hungary, have been ob- 
 tained.^ The Procureur-General has been represented 
 as a monster of wickedness and cruelty; the Dean of St. 
 Peter's is charged with holding the maxim that " It is no 
 great matter, whether they that die on account of religion 
 be guilty or innocent, provided we terrify the people by 
 such examples; which generally succeeds best when per- 
 sons eminent for learning, riches, nobility, or high station, 
 
 ' The narrative of Poyntz is found in Foxe and has been reprinted in full 
 by Demaus, /. c. p. 443 sqq. In the same work may be read the letter of 
 Poyntz to his brother, Cotton MSS. Galba, B, X., as well as a letter from 
 Flegge, an English merchant at Antwerp, to Cromwell advising him what 
 had been done on behalf of Tyndale. Cotton MSS. Galba, B. X. 
 
 2 The document printed by Demaus, /. c. p. 498 sqq. is here reproduced. 
 The very able and interesting account he has constructed of the probable order 
 observed in the trial of Tyndale is perhaps the most successful portion of a 
 volume which should be read by all desirous to understand the case. He has 
 furnished also sketches of Pierre Dufief, the Procureur-General, and of two of 
 the most prominent clerics on the commission, Ruwart Tapper and Jacques 
 Lathomus. The document reads as follows: 
 
 " Archives of Belgium: Chambre des Comptes, No. 19,1662. 
 " Paid to the Procureur-General of Brabant for himself 12^. 8s. 6d.; also for Mr. Ruwart

 the said Procureur-General against William Tyndale, a priest, a Lutheran prisoner, and 
 executed by fire at Vilvorde for entertaining certain wicked opinions touching the Holy Cath- 
 olic faith; so that they have been occupied at Vilvorde and elsewhere on different days, as ap- 
 pears from the contents of their declaration of their engagements, amounting for tlie said 
 engagements to the sum of;^3i2. gs. 6d., and over and above to the sum of;^i6 for behoof of 
 the Doctors only: this appearing from the declaration, taxation and assignment and receipt 
 thereto belonging in all to . . . . ^oj. 9s. 6d."

 are thus sacrificed;" and of Lathomus, the third of the 
 leading members of the commission, it is narrated that 
 the part he had taken in the conviction of Tyndale filled 
 him with remorse, if not despair.^ Tried by such a com- 
 mission, condemnation was inevitable, for the writings of 
 Tyndale abound in sentiments which the Louvain the- 
 ologians could have had no difficulty in proving to have 
 been rank heresy. The passage in Foxe that " there was 
 much writing and great difputation to and fro between 
 him [Tyndale] and them of the Vniversitie of Louvain, 
 in such sort that they had all enough to do, and more 
 than they could well wield, to answer the authorities and 
 testimonies of the Scripture, whereupon he most pithily 
 grounded his doctrine," sheds light upon the manner in 
 which the trial was conducted. It was all in writing; 
 Tyndale's own defence has not yet come to light, but the 
 reply of Lathomus, printed in his Works, has been pre- 
 served. The publication of that treatise would be a val- 
 uable contribution to the history of Tyndale. 
 
 This notice is concluded with a precious memento of 
 William Tyndale in the text of a touching letter written 
 by Tyndale in his prison at Vilvorde in the winter of 1535. 
 It is without date and superscription, and was doubtless 
 addressed to Antoine de Berghes, Marquis of Bergen-op- 
 Zoom, who held the office of Governor of the Castle of 
 Vilvorde in 1530. M. Galesloot found it in the Archives 
 of the Council of Brabant, and M. Gachard permitted Mr. 
 Francis Fry of Bristol to have it photographed; from a 
 
 1 "Jacobus Lathomus, omnium theologorum Lovaniensium, sine controversii, 
 princeps, posteaquam stult^ et puerili concione quam Bruxellse habuit coram 
 Imperatore, se toti aulse ridendum exhibuisset, mox ubi Lovanium rediit, per- 
 nicioso quodam furore correptus, ccepit insanire, ac in ips^ etiam public^ prse- 
 lectione voces edere plenas desperationis atque impietatis. Quod cum cseteri 
 theologi animadvertissent, prsecipue Ruardus Enchusanus [i. e. Tapper], homo 
 miserabili balbutie, et crudelitate atque impietate inaudit^, apprehenderunt fu- 
 rentum Lathomum, eumque domi clausum tenuerunt. Ab eo tempore usque ad 
 postremum spiritum nihil aliud clamavit Lathomus quam ' se condemnatum 
 esse, -se a Deo rejectum esse, nee ullam spem salutis aut venise sitft amphus esse 
 reliquam, ut qui veritatem agnitam impugnisset.' " The last clause appears to 
 refer to Tyndale. The whole passage is taken from Demaus, /. c. p. 456, who 
 says, that it is given by H. Janssen, yacobus Propositus, on the authority of Diaz.

 upon the lord commissary, if he 
 will deign, to send me from my

 in the head, being troubled with 
 a continual catarrh, which is 
 aggravated in this prison vault. 
 A warmer coat also, for that

 cloth for repairing my leggings. 
 My overcoat is worn out; the 
 shirts also are worn out. He has 
 a woolen shirt of mine, if he will 
 please send it. I have also with 
 him leggings of heavier cloth for 
 overwear. He likewise has warm- 
 er nightcaps: I also ask for leave 
 to use a lamp in the evening, for 
 it is tiresome to sit alone in the 
 dark. But above all, I beg and 
 entreat your clemency earnestly 
 to intercede with the lord com- 
 missary, that he would deign to 
 allow me the use of my Hebrew 
 Bible, Hebrew Grammar, and 
 Hebrew Lexicon, and that I may

 The evidence, furnished on every page of the present 
 volume, that Tyndale translated the Pentateuch direct 
 from the Hebrew, is strikingly confirmed by the passage 
 in which he entreats and beseeches the Governor to send 
 him his Hebrew Bible, Hebrew Grammar and Hebrew 
 Dictionary.

 Dr. Sewell adds: "The words By William Huchen are found at the bot- 
 tom of the page on which the hymn to the Virgin occurs, being the last page 
 of the MS. There is no doubt that there is nothing of Tyndale's in the MS. 
 the date of which is of the fifteenth century. The MS. No. 66, which Mr. 
 Coxe refers to contains The Books of the Old Testament, according to the later 
 version of fohn Wycliffe, &c., &c. I have compared the versions of the 
 song of Simeon by Tyndale and by Wyckliffe, and am sure that the version in the 
 MS. in the Library of New College is Wyckliffe's and not Tyndale's." 
 
 The name William Huchen resembling Tyndale's pseudonyme has probably 
 occasioned the erroneous notice in Wood's list, taken from Tanner.

 24. Portiojts of the New Teflament translated from the Greek 
 into English by that noble and venerable Martyr William Tyn- 
 dale who first published the New Testament in English in 132^ 
 In his own handwriting and accompanied by his own drawings 
 in 1302. 
 
 This is the Title, drawn up by Mr. George Offor, of a Manuscript 
 now (1884) in the Lenox Library, New York, concerning whose ac- 
 quisition Mr. Offor says in the Preface: "In 1808 it came into the 
 possession of my kind old antiquarian friend, the Revd. Henry 
 White of Lichfield Cathedral, and from about the year 181 5 it became 
 the pearl of my great collection of English Bibles." 
 
 No account in print having come to the notice of the present 
 writer, he here presents the following description of this interesting 
 Manuscript. 
 
 An antique ecclesiastical oaken case, richly carved, showing on 
 the upper cover a Madonna seated, on the lower cover, a figure of 
 Justice with sword and scales, enclosing a volume bound (1850) in 
 morocco, in-4, the cut page lOa in. x 8| in., 46 ff. in the following order: 
 Fly leaves, 2 fif. ; two engravings of Tyndale, 2 ff. ; Title Page,* i f.; 
 engraving of Tyndale, I f.; The Tyndale Manuscript, being an ac- 
 count of it by George OfiFor, 9 ff. ; pen and ink sketch of Christ, shew- 
 ing underneath a pasted slip with the name of the former owner: 
 "HENRY WHITE, Close, Lichfield, November 13th, 1808 "in his 
 handwriting, i f. ; then follow 26 ff., each displaying on the recto a 
 full page drawing in India ink, water colours, and gold, of Scripture 
 topics connected with the Gospels given on the verso of each preced- 
 ing leaf, except the first two, illustrating the Presentation of John 
 Baptist and the Purification of the Virgin. The Gospels appear in 
 illuminated borders in compartments of unequal size, the largest 
 measuring 6 /. x 3^/., the smallest 5 ii. X34/. Recto of Fo. 3, illus- 
 trating Luke vii, 36, &c., contains the date 1500. The verso of Fo. 23, 
 giving Luke xviii, 9-17, contains in the right hand border a column 
 with the legend: TIME TRIETH., and the date 1502. The initials 
 W. T. occur eight times. The Gospels supplied are the following: 
 Fos. 3. Luke vii, (erroneously viii. in the Ms). And one of the Phar- 
 ifes &c.; 4. Marke xi. And on the morowe &c.; 5. lohn ii. And the 
 ihyrde daye &c.; 6. Matthew viii, And when he entred &c.; 7. Mat-

 The MS. is written on paper with the water mark of 
 an open hand surmounted by a stellar flower; this mark, 
 and the bull's head and star, are said not to have been 
 used since 15 10. The character is Black Letter, but the 
 handwriting appears to be due to several writers; several 
 hands may also be traced in the ornamental borders and 
 the full page illustrations; the anachronisms are striking; 
 on f 18 Nicodemus, in the costume of the sixteenth cen- 
 tury, holds a rosary; the Pharisee and the Publican, f. 24, 
 also carry rosaries, and on the same page two saints 
 appear as mural ornaments of the Temple; on the verso 
 of f 4 St. George is represented in the act of killing 
 the Dragon in order to relieve the Virgin Mary; the 
 border of f 7 depicts an angel with a Maltese cross 
 over his head; churches with spires and a liberal sup- 
 ply of crosses in strictly oriental scenes are of constant 
 occurrence. 
 
 The portrait of Henry VII., identified by the emble- 
 matic union of the two roses supporting his throne, occurs 
 twice in the ornamented borders. 
 
Iviii PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 Among the orthographical characteristics may be 
 named: stode a farr, thorowe,fownde, aduouterers, deuell^ 
 a broode (abroad); also such divisions of words as: di- 
 scipleSy th-cn, m-en, pray-yse, zve-ddyng. 
 
 Some of the translations must have been made from 
 the Greek, but it is incredible that Tyndale who in 1525 
 rendered avooQsv a newe and agayne, should have trans- 
 lated that word in 1500 or 1^02 from above. This last 
 rendering, as far as I am advised, appeared for the first 
 time in the version of Pagninus, who discards the old 
 Vulgate rendering, renatus fuerit denuo, and gives, natus 
 fuerit superne. Similar renderings from the Greek have 
 been noted by others. Other translations, however, seem 
 to have been made from the Latin. 
 
 Subjoined is a specimen, selected solely on account of 
 its brevity, accompanied by the Latin from the edition 
 of Stephanus, 1528, collated with the text of Jenson's 
 Biblia, Venetiis, 1479, in-folio., which contains only two 
 variations, viz., v. 37 difcendentium and v. 40 quia Ji ta- 
 cuerint.

 Mr. Offer's Title must be deemed infelicitous, for i. it 
 is not certain that the letters W. T. denote the author; 
 2. it cannot be proved that they designate William Tyn- 
 dale; 3. it may be demonstrated that portions, perhaps 
 the greater part of the MS., are translations from the 
 Latin. 
 
 The Author of the Historical Account, &c., prefixed to 
 the first edition of Bagster's Hexapla (p. 41, n.,) believed 
 it to have been written and translated by the Martyr; 
 Anderson, Annals, &c., Vol. II., App., iii., n., ridicules the 
 notion; Professor Westcott, History of the English Bible, 
 p. 25, n., 2d edition, declares the MS. to be spurious.

 THE PENTATEUCH OF I53O. 
 
 To the best of my knowledge only one perfect copy 
 has been discovered. It is in the Grenville Library of 
 the British Museum. The copy in the Lenox Library is 
 all but perfect, the only parts wanting being, Folios XLIV. 
 
Ix prolegomena; 
 
 and XLV., containing Ex. xxv. 37 to xxvi. 14 and two 
 of the eleven woodcuts contained in the volume, which 
 have been supplied in facstmtle hyH.; see Bibliograph- 
 ical Notice. The copy in the Baptist College, Bristol, 
 contains Genesis of 1534, but the remaining books of 
 the Pentateuch are of the edition of 1530. A copy, 
 recently discovered and given to the Astor Library, 
 lacks the book of Genesis. 
 
 The Lenox copy, from which the present edition is 
 made, is a i2mo volume, without a general title. A 
 full account of it is now presented.

 proximately, and contains 30 lines. The dimensions vary 
 occasionally ^in. in both directions, the margins vary from

 including both the head line and that of the catchword

 The Prologues to Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and 
 Deuteronomy have the head line W,. T. on every page. 
 The several books themselves generally give on every 
 page the Chapter only, and generally the folio number 
 on the recto. An example will illustrate this. In the 
 book of Genesis: Recto, i Chapter. Fo. i. Verso, i 
 Chapter. Sometimes the order is reversed, e. g., Recto, 
 Chapter .xix. Fo. xxiij. Verso, Chapter .xix; some- 
 times the head line reads. The .xliii. Chapter; and 
 sometimes it is entirely omitted, as on verso of fif. 
 xxxiii., .XXXV., .Ixx.; the numeration also is very- 
 faulty.

 Comparison shows that with the sole exception of 
 some of the cuts in Tyndale's Pentateuch having been 
 either sHghtly trimmed or enlarged at the sides, they 
 are identical with those in Vorsterman's Bible, in-folio. 
 
 The same cuts however had been used in Letter's 
 edition of Luther's Translation of the Pentateuch in lar- 
 ger size, viz., gzVz. x SfzV/. circa, and since that folio was 
 printed in 1523, Vorsterman either had them reduced 
 for his Bible, or the cuts were prepared and sold in dif- 
 ferent sizes by the engraver in wood who made them. 
 They are identical in all respects except in figure 4, where 
 Letter's illustration gives some houses on the right side 
 of the cut which in the corresponding cut in Vorster- 
 man and Tyndale appear on the left side. 
 
 2. The Present Edition. 
 
 In the preparation of my Hand Book of the English 
 Versions the necessity of consulting the original copy of 
 Tyndale's Pentateuch was often very pressing, and although 
 sundry extracts contained in that volume were courteously 
 supplied, the want of accurate information on the subject 
 in print, and the singular excellence of Tyndale's transla- 
 tion appeared to me to call imperatively for a reprint of 
 the work as it came from his hands. The book of Genesis 
 was revised by Tyndale in 1534, but copies of that edi- 
 tion appear to be even more rare than those of 1530. 
 Matthew's Bible, published in 1537, contains the text 
 of Tyndale's Pentateuch of 1530 with numerous varia- 
 tions. There is also a London edition by Ihon Day, 
 printed in 1551, exceedingly scarce, containing the en- 
 tire Pentateuch in a text of which an example will be 
 presented on a subsequent page. The prologues, finally, 
 to the different books of Tyndale's Pentateuch and cer- 
 tain Tables were printed in Daye's folio edition of Tyn- 
 
THE PENTATEUCH OF 1530. Ixv 
 
 dale's Works published in 1573. A reprint of the last, 
 adapted to the modern spelling, has been issued by the 
 Parker Society. This completes the list and proves that 
 an exact reproduction of the text of the edition of 1530 
 has never been printed. It seemed to me a burning shame 
 that one of the noblest monuments of English Literature 
 should continue to lie in undeserved oblivion, especially 
 because its author, who had consecrated his life to the 
 work of evangelizing the world by the translation of the 
 Scriptures into the vernacular, had earned for it, the Mar- 
 tyr's crown. ^ 
 
 Tyndale's Pentateuch is the first English translation 
 of the Hebrew original, and on that account, if on no 
 other, deserves to be made accessible not only to schol- 
 ars, but to every lover of the English Bible. His trans- 
 lation was intended for the people, and the Martyr's 
 design has been attempted to be carried out in the 
 present issue, which gives to the people not only every- 
 thing he translated in the original volume, but presents 
 it also in the very form in which he wrote it. To the 
 scholar this minute accuracy will be peculiarly valuable, 
 and he moreover may reap a rich harvest of instruction 
 from the notes which owe their origin to the wide-spread 
 slander that Tyndale translated from the Latin and the 
 German versions. This calumny thoughtlessly repeated 
 by numerous writers is disproved on every page of this 
 volume. I deem it unnecessary to name here any of the 
 authors in question, and to transcribe their statements. 
 
 1 There is reason for believing that the marginal notes in the Pentateuch 
 were used, with other of his printed opinions, as evidence of his heresy. An 
 instance may be seen in the marginal note on Deuter. I, 43, which reads 
 
 In the edition of 1^3 o : In Matthew's Bible, IS3 7 ' 
 
 " Here thou feift the verey image of the " Here thou feyft the vereye Image of vs 
 
 papiftes. For ihei like wife where Gods that fyue i this niqft perlou/e tyme, for eiten 
 
 worde is, there they beleue not ad where it we lykewyfe, where goddes worde is, here 
 
 is not there they be bold." beleue we not: and where it is not, there be 
 
 we bolde." 
 
 In 1536 Tyndale was martyred; the memory of the scene at Vilvorde was 
 indelibly stamped on the mind of John Rogers and doubtless prompted the 
 change in the note, which contains a chapter of history. 
 
Ixvi PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 As a matter of fact Tyndale's version of the Penta- 
 teuch, as it came from his hand, is known only to an 
 infinitesimally small fraction of the English speaking 
 nations of the earth, and its text, identified as Tyndale's, 
 except in a few isolated passages, not known at all; 
 indeed, as no actual critical collation of this Pentateuch 
 has ever been published,^ we cannot even tell how far and 
 how truly the actual text of Tyndale has been trans- 
 mitted. This is the more remarkable on account of its 
 indisputably great critical value in fixing the character 
 of the first English text of the Pentateuch in the an- 
 cestral line of the Common Version, a point of con- 
 siderable importance just now in view of the general 
 principles to be followed by the Companies for the Re- 
 vision of the Authorized Version, the first two of which 
 read as follows: 
 
 *' I. To introduce as few alterations as possible into 
 the text of the Authorized Version consistently with 
 faithfulness. 
 
 " 2. To limit as far as possible the expression of such 
 alterations to the language of the Authorized and earlier 
 English versions." 
 
 This, as far as the Pentateuch is concerned, must 
 apply pre-eminently to Tyndale's version as the only 
 English version, which, without leaning on any other 
 that had gone before, was made directly from the orig- 
 inal, and, changes in the spelling and occasionally in 
 language and expression excepted, has been substantially 
 preserved in the Authorized Version. 
 
 The reasons which have moved me to make the pres- 
 ent issue are these: 
 
 It is designed, to be a grateful tribute to the mem- 
 ory of the martyr-translator; to make this noble ver- 
 sion, which as a first translation is not excelled by any 
 other with which I am acquainted, generally acces- 
 sible to Bible readers; to fix its text by actual colla- 
 tion with different editions, to establish its relation to

 1539, which I have not seen.

 the Latin and German Versions; to furnish a contem- 
 porary Commentary in the Notes of Luther and Rogers, 
 and to enrich the Philology of the Language with a copi- 
 ous vocabulary. 
 
 3. Form and Size of this Edition. 
 
 Reference to the Bibliographical Notice and to the 
 specimen pages presented in this volume will show that 
 the original copy contains 378 ff., or 756 pages of rather 
 small dimensions, viz., 5-^ in. x 2^in. circa, the full page rang- 
 ing from 29 to 33 lines, and that the books of Genesis and 
 Numbers are printed in Black Letter and the remaining 
 three books in Latin Letter. The first intention of repro- 
 ducing the Original page for page, and line for line, in the 
 same type, had to be abandoned as incompatible with the 
 ends to be served by the present issue. The matter con- 
 tained in the notes and margins may be approximately esti- 
 mated at about one-third of the contents of the text, which 
 with the introductory matter would have made a very thick 
 and unhandy duodecimo, even if the type used had been 
 correspondingly small. The reproduction of the same 
 type, would have necessitated the casting of two distinct 
 founts of letter, for which, in America at least, the printer 
 would have had no other use. Tyndale himself printed 
 his Genesis of 1534 in Latin Letter, and this fact, as well 
 as the further consideration that the reading of Black 
 Letter with various contractions would have interfered 
 with the ready use of the volume by a large number of 
 readers, suggested the propriety of adopting a Letter 
 familiar to all and capable of presenting all the peculiar- 
 ities of the edition; the edition of 1534, that of 1551, 
 Matthew's Bible of 1537, Daye's folio of 1573 and the 
 Parker Society's reprint of the Prologues, moreover, do 
 not conform to the page for page and line for line 
 plan. On these grounds an octavo page has been se- 
 lected as the most convenient size for the purposes 
 to be served by this edition, which carefully marks the 
 beginning of the recto and verso of every folio, and 
 
Ixviii PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 aims to adhere with diplomatic fidelity to every, even 
 the minutest, detail of the original copy. The omission 
 of the strictly facsimile plan has also had the additional 
 advantage of enabling me to correct palpable misprints, 
 which in every instance have been removed by analogy 
 drawn from Tyndale's own page, or, where that failed, 
 by reference to Matthew's Bible. An accurate list of 
 these changes is furnished at the end of the Prolegomena; 
 in all doubtful cases the text is given unchanged, but 
 every case, (broken, defaced, or blurred letters excepted) 
 has been carefully noted. In the edition of 1530 different 
 numerals have been employed; to avoid confusion and 
 inconsistency only one kind of numerals has been used 
 in this edition. It is necessary to add that the run- 
 ning head lines in Black Letter are not in the edition 
 of 1530, which gives only the folio and chapter; that 
 edition, and all the other editions used in the preparation 
 of this volume, are without verse-division, which for 
 convenience of reference had to be adopted and con- 
 formed to that observed in the Authorized Version. 
 
 This feature of course increases the value, and facili- 
 tates the use of this book without in any way interfering 
 with the integrity of Tyndale's text, which stands exactly 
 as in the edition of 1530. For the same reason the Chap- 
 ter Summaries from Matthew's Bible, marked M. C. S. 
 have not been placed before the chapter, but in the 
 Margin, which has also been used for the explanation 
 of a few archaic terms. The Various Readings, and 
 parallel places in other Versions, are given in the lower 
 margin. The collation with Genesis 1534, being an in- 
 dependent work, chiefly due to the careful scholarship 
 of Dr. Culross, who has compared the text of this edition 
 with that of the copy in the Museum of the Baptist 
 College at Bristol, is given in a separate section; the 
 collation of the Prologues of 1530 with the Prologues 
 in Daye's folio of 1573, due (in Genesis and Exodus) to 
 Dr. Culross, appears immediately after it, while a list of 
 marginal notes in the same volume gives an analysis 
 of that interesting part of Tyndale's Pentateuch.

 4. Means adopted for Securing an accurate Text. 
 
 The whole of Tyndale's Pentateuch, the Prologues to 
 Genesis and Exodus excepted, has been transcribed by 
 me from the copy in the Lenox Library. The transcript 
 thus secured, upon careful revision, and the original copy 
 by its side, was then compared with the text of Matthew's 
 Bible, and the variant readings and renderings duly re- 
 corded. In this difficult work I had the benefit of the 
 assistance of Dr. S. Austin Allibone, whose quick and 
 experienced perception enabled me to note the differ- 
 ences as they occurred. He either read to me, or I read 
 to him, the entire Pentateuch in Matthew's version. Then 
 I compared Tyndale's text, first, with that of the Latin 
 Bible, and afterwards with Luther's first edition of the 
 Pentateuch. The Manuscript then was sent to the printer, 
 and at my express request not returned. The first proofs 
 were twice read at the printer's by the MS. and twice in 
 succession compared with the original printed copy. Here 
 also Dr. Allibone afforded me valuable aid. Second or re- 
 vised proofs were then procured, and again read very care- 
 fully by the original. Third or plate proofs followed, of 
 which one copy was sent to Dr. Culross, and another, re- 
 tained by me, was again compared with the original. In the 
 book of Genesis all the variant readings in the edition of 
 1534 were marked by Dr. Culross on the plate proofs, and 
 in this way was obtained the valuable and interesting 
 collation at the end of the Prolegomena. A number of 
 test passages in the remaining four books transcribed by 
 Dr. Culross from the Bristol copy, and another set copied 
 by me from the Lenox copy, were compared by us with 
 the respective copies, and their minute agreement in text, 
 even to misprints and inaccuracies, led to the discovery 
 that both copies were made from the same forms of the 
 edition of 1530. The uncorrected plate proofs were then 
 compared by Dr. Culross with the text of the Bristol 
 copy, and by me with that of the Lenox copy; at this 
 stage, a clean set of plate proofs was also compared with 
 the original by Dr. Allibone; then I attended to the final 
 
Ixx PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 comparisons of corrections made by my kind friends and 
 myself, with the result, that every correction noted and 
 verified, was made by me in the proofs, and the constant 
 agreement of our corrections, frequently extending to 
 such minute points as the appearance of a faulty letter, 
 the use or non-use of a mark of punctuation, bears testi- 
 mony to the rare and scrupulous fidelity with which Drs. 
 Culross and Allibone have performed their labor of love. 
 Occasional differences, chiefly of this or that little matter 
 omitted by one of the correctors, I have duly noted, and 
 in every instance, corrected by the Lenox copy. Then 
 the plates were corrected and the first plate proofs ac- 
 companied by clean proofs were again examined, and, 
 upon evidence that all the corrections had been made, 
 the order to print was given. The text, thus obtained, 
 is that furnished in this volume. It is proper to add 
 that all the notes also have been repeatedly compared 
 with the originals from which they are taken. 
 
 5. Helps used by Tyndale. 
 
 On this point it is difficult, if not impossible, to speak 
 with any degree of certainty. The material to be had, 
 was not by any means so scant as is generally thought, 
 but in the absence of all data, except those contained 
 in Tyndale's letter written in prison, (see page li.) and 
 those derived from the study of his text, the subject 
 cannot be discussed in detail.

 To these should still be added Vorsterman's Dutch 
 Bible in-folio (See Title, p. Ixiii.), which though made 
 from the Vulgate, contains numerous references to the 
 Hebrew; it was doubtless known to Tyndale, but as the 
 volume was sent to me after the present edition was in 
 
Ixxii PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 type, I have not been able to use it in the preparation 
 of my notes; it is not improbable that Tyndale used it 
 for reference. 
 
 Besides the Greek Text of the Old Testament con- 
 tained in the Complutensian Polyglot, the Aldine edition 
 ot 1 518 {Sacrcs Scriptures Veteris Novceqiie omnia, Vene- 
 tiis, 1518, in-folio), and the Strassburg edition of 1526 
 {Divines Scriptures Veteris Novceque omnia, Argentorati, 
 apud Wolphium Cephalseum, 1526, 4vv. in-8) were also 
 available to Tyndale. 
 
 Most, perhaps all, the works here enumerated might 
 have been procured at Antwerp, Hamburg, and Witten- 
 berg. 
 
 Of other versions we have to name first, the Vulgate, 
 which must have been as familiar to Tyndale as the 
 Authorized Version is to every English divine of the 
 present century, secondly, the Wiclifite Versions and 
 lastly, Luther's translation. 
 
 A brief account of these versions is now in place. 
 Beginning with the Vulgate, it may be accepted as a 
 fact, that the Apostles and first Christian missionaries 
 used the Greek version in planting the Church. Greek 
 was the language of civilization, understood especially 
 by people of higher culture. At Rome and throughout 
 Italy, however, the masses of the people clung tena- 
 ciously to the Old Latin. In order to reach them, the 
 necessity of a Latin version was universally felt, and oral 
 translations of the Scriptures were speedily followed by 
 written ones, the oldest of which were made from the 
 Greek. They multiplied so rapidly that in the fourth 
 century it was affirmed by the highest authorities that 
 there were almost as many versions as copies. This was 
 a great and crying evil, for not only were those versions 
 very faulty and corrupt, but they presented a text which 
 differed in almost every version. To remedy the evil 
 Jerome undertook a revision, which proved generally 
 acceptable, and speedily entered into almost universal 
 circulation. But that remarkable scholar was not satis- 
 fied with his revision, and engaged upon the Herculean 
 
THE PENTATEUCH OF 1530. IxxHi 
 
 enterprise of translating the Scriptures from the original 
 Hebrew into Latin. 
 
 This new Version encountered bitter opposition, and 
 could not displace for centuries the old version made from 
 the Greek, or, more correctly, it never displaced it en- 
 tirely, for to this day parts of the Old Latin version are 
 embedded in the official version of the Roman Catholic 
 Church known as the Vulgate. In course of time, how- 
 ever, the unquestionable superiority of Jerome's version 
 led to its partial adoption, with the result, that it was 
 either adapted to the old version or mixed up with it, and 
 produced an uncertain text, which, through careless tran- 
 scribers or ignorant correctors and emendators, had be- 
 come so corrupt as to necessitate a new Revision by 
 Alcuin. This Alcuinian recension, patronized by Charle- 
 magne, was the best text in use during the Middle Ages, and 
 held its ground until the invention of printing, and the 
 time of the Reformation. Guttenberg's Bible, the first 
 Bible and first book printed with movable type, presents 
 that text which, with but few exceptions, has been copied 
 in subsequent editions of the Latin Bible. From that 
 text were made numerous versions into the vernacular 
 tongues of Europe before the Reformation. 
 
 A copy of the Bible containing the text of the Al- 
 cuinian Recension was used by Tyndale. The edition 
 used in the preparation of the Notes in this Volume is 
 that of Stephanus, published in 1528. Its text, like that 
 of most of the Latin Bibles printed before that date, may 
 be said to be identical with that used by Tyndale and 
 Luther, but it contains also references to MSS. and to 
 the Hebrew. It is printed with great accuracy in beauti- 
 ful type. A brief description of the volume may be useful:

 The subjoined readings of places in the Pentateuch, 
 taken from this volume with the note introducing them, 
 are very interesting since not a few of them were adopted 
 by the Sixtine-Clementine editors of the Vulgate.

 The Wiclifite Versio?ts, of course, were made from 
 Manuscript copies of the Latin Bible/ and circulated in 
 Tyndale's time in MS, I fully concur in the statement 
 of the learned editors of the superb edition of Wiclif's 
 Bible'' that "the versions of Wycliffe and his followers 
 .... contributed largely to the religious knowledge which 
 prevailed at the commencement of the Reformation; and 
 at that period they supplied an example and a model to 
 those excellent men, who in like manner devoted them- 
 selves at the hazard of their lives to the translation of 
 Scripture, and to its publication among the people of 
 the land " (Preface, p. xxxiv.). The comparison of Ex- 
 odus XX. in Purvey's revision, Forshall and Madden's 
 edition, with the text of Tyndale appears to justify this 
 statement, the ring and language of that ancient version 
 resound distinctly in Tyndale's translation.

 While the Wiclifite versions were the only English 
 translations and circulated only in manuscript, Germany 
 as early as 1522 could point to not less than fourteen 
 printed editions of the Scriptures in High German and 
 .three in Low German: they were all made from the La- 
 tin, but too literal to be intelligible.^ 
 
 The first vernacular version made direct from the orig- 
 inal is Luther's. It is in every respect remarkable, but 
 in none more than in its lucidity, terseness, and strength. 
 Made for the people, it attained from the start a popu- 
 larity, which continues to this hour, and although sub- 
 jected to successive revisions, the changes introduced 
 into it, are mainly the substitution of modern for ar- 
 chaic terms, the assimilation of the verbs to modern 
 flexions, and the introduction of the prevailing system 
 of spelling. The changes in the rendering are com- 
 paratively few, and only such as the superior knowledge 
 of the ancient languages and the discovery of impor- 
 tant manuscripts of the original Scriptures have made 
 indispensable.

 Examination yields the following results: 
 
 EXODUS XX. 
 
 Luther agrees with Old German Version: vv. i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 
 8, 9, 10, II, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26. 
 
 Differs from Old German Version: in renderings other than ar- 
 chaic and linguistic forms, v. 5. diene, eyfferer, miffethat 6 viel thau- 
 fent, halten 7 vergeblich, vnfchuldig, furetS Sabbathstags 10 Sabbath,

 ferefl . . entweyhen 26 nicht deyne fchame auffgedeckt werde fur

 Of these, the following agree with the Vulgate: 5 coles, zelotes, 
 iniquitatem 7 in vanum, infontem 8 fabbati iq fabbatum 1 1 fabbati 
 
THE PENTATEUCH OF 153O. Ixxxi

 With the Hebrew: 21 al penechem 22 vajomer . . ko tomar . . 
 
 23 lo taafun itti 24 afher afeccir 26 lo thiggaleh ervathecha 
 
 The old renderings appear preferable: 5 ere 7 nimpt den namen 
 10 inwendig deiner tor 12 dir gibt 20 bewert 21 genacht 25 dem 
 waffen 
 
 Supplemental renderings: 6 viel; a mistaken rendering: 25 meffer 
 drauff ferezt 
 
 This analysis shows that the old German was the 
 basis of Luther's version, that the variations not noted 
 were either linguistic or required by the change the lan- 
 guage had undergone, that of those noted, eighteen were 
 due to the Latin, seven apparently original renderings 
 and not less than seven very doubtful improvements. 
 
 The edition of Luther used by Tyndale and in the 
 preparation of this volume is the following: 
 
 Lotter's edition of Luther's Old Testament.

 the subscription:

 meine hand gangen sind, den des falfchen druckes 
 
 vnd bucher verderbens, vleyffigen fich ytzt viel 
 
 Gedruckt zu Wittemberg. 
 
 The date 1523 has been added in modern hand- 
 writing. 
 
 The selection of that edition, and the retention of its 
 archaic language, were necessary in order to present the 
 material precisely as Tyndale found it. The original 
 renderings illustrate the scholarship of Luther, as com- 
 pared with Tyndale's, and mark the changes introduced 
 in subsequent editions of the German version; their lin- 
 guistic character also is highly instructive for it sheds 
 light not only on the pronunciation of German in the 
 second decade of the sixteenth century, but also on 
 the remarkable changes in the spelling and flexions of 
 the language. On almost every page of this volume 
 may be found examples of words and flexions ban- 
 ished from the written language but still current in 
 the familiar, and especially, the dialectic speech of 
 Germany. 
 
 I call attention to the following words in the text 
 of Eggesteyn: 5 ambecht, bete an, pray to; vngangkeit, 
 
THE PENTATEUCH OF 1530. Ixxxiii 
 
 bosheit, wickedness; 6 derbermde, erbarmen, compas- 
 sion; 7 "vppig, umsonst, in vain; 9 werck, imper., wirk, 
 work; 15 diepheit, theft; 17 begeitig, imp., begeizen, to 
 desire from envy; 18 riechen, rauchen, to smoke; 19 im

 afar; 20 bewert, bewahren, to put to proof; 21 genacht^ 
 nahen, nahern, to draw near; 26 entzeubert, entzeuberkeit^ 
 unsaubern, verunsaubern, to make unclean, to pollute.

 The relation of these works to Tyndale's version 
 suggested the arrangement, that the Chapter Summaries, 
 supplied by Rogers, should appear in the margin at the 
 beginning of every chapter, and the variant readings of 
 his text immediately under the text of Tyndale. The 
 Notes from the Vulgate, the older of the versions used, 
 come next, and are followed by those from Luther's 
 translation. 
 
 The marginal notes of Matthew and Luther conclude 
 the Apparatus. 
 
 Matthew's Bible being the first English Bible with 
 Tyndale's translation, it seemed a fitting tribute to the 
 memory of John Rogers and a recognition of his valua- 
 ble labors and near relations to Tyndale, to embody his 
 additions and notes in the present edition, which, in this 
 respect, enables the reader to construct the whole text 
 as to various readings, but of course not as to the variant 
 orthography of the Pentateuch, as it stands in Matthew's 
 Bible, copies of which are but rarely met with. 
 
 7. Examples of the Notes. 
 
 The first and chief design of these notes being to 
 demonstrate the independence of Tyndale's translation, 
 I have compared the whole of Tyndale's text with the 
 whole of the Latin and German versions, and confined the 
 
THE PENTATEUCH OF 1530. Ixxxvii 
 
 selection to passages which upon comparison with the He- 
 brew supply that proof. The parallels not less than the 
 variants furnish valuable material for the study of the 
 Pentateuch; they illustrate the merits and demerits of 
 the collated versions and establish the indisputable fact 
 that the first English version conforms more to the 
 original than the Latin and German translations. The 
 scholarly tact and judgment of Tyndale will be recog- 
 nized in numerous passages, especially in those where 
 Luther allowed himself to be influenced by the Vulgate. 
 The notes, though numerous, are only specimens and 
 may be almost indefinitely increased. The marginal notes 
 of Luther and Rogers may be regarded as a contem- 
 porary commentary on difficult passages designed to 
 supplement the translation and to make the people 
 understand the Scriptures; they afford a lively view 
 of the spirit of the age and a true picture of the

 now in order. 
 
 Instances of Places in the Vulgate containing readings not found 
 in the Hebrew: 
 
 Gen. iv. 8 Egrediamur foras 
 
 Ex. ii. 22 Alterum vero peperit: quern vocauit Eliezer, dicens, 
 Deus enim patris mei adiutor Mens, & eripuit me de manu Phara- 
 onis. Compare Ex. xviii. 4 and the variation. 
 
 Lev, xviii. 15 Et vxorem fratris fui nuUus accipiat. 
 
 Num. viii. 2 candelabrum in auftrale parte erigatur. Hoc igitur 
 praecipe vt lucernas contra boream eregione refpiciant ad menfam

 ne deus audi clamorem huius populi, & aperi eis thefaurum tuum 
 fontem aquae viuae, vt fatiati ceffet murmuratio eorum. 
 
 Instances of places in the Vulgate redundant, free, or para- 
 phrastic:

 " "3a vino, & omni quod inebriare potefl

 Instance of a rendering by Luther and Tyndale found in the 
 LXX. and the Vulgate, but not in the Hebrew:

 The last example affords a curious illustration of the 
 influence of one version on others. Tyndale's rendering 
 conforms literally to the Hebrew but the figure of light- 
 ning applied to a sharpened and highly polished sword is 
 rather German than English; Luther's rendering is idio- 
 matic but suggested by the Latin and an improvement: 
 the Latin in its turn is a literal translation of the LXX. 
 and si appears to us a truer rendering of the Hebrew int 
 than the Greek hoti, while the Chaldee version has the 
 remarkable amplification: si in duplum pluf quant fulgur 
 apparet a fummitate celi & vfque ad fummitatem eius re- 
 uelabitur gladius ineus. 
 
 Instances of renderings by Tyndale, in close agreement with the 
 Hebrew where the LXX., the Vulgate and Luther depart from it: 
 Num. xxii. 34 stands in the LXX.: and now if it displease thee, 
 
THE PENTATEUCH OF 1530. Ixxxix 
 
 a rendering literally reproduced byy? displicet tibi (Vulg.) and/(7 
 dyrs nicht gefdllt (Luther); all these versions fail to bring out the 
 force of the Hebrew phrase evil in the sight or eyes of any one, i. e., 
 displeasing to him; Tyndale with excellent judgment retained dis- 
 please but added the Hebraism thyne eyes. 
 
 The following is a longer example presented in English: 
 
 Gen. XXII. 19. 
 
 Hebr. And Abraham returned to his young men,* and they 
 LXX. And Abraham returned to his young men,* and 
 Vulg. Abraham returned to his young men,* 
 
 Luther Thus Abraham returned to his young men,* and they 
 Tynd. So turned Abraham agayne vnto his yonge men, and they 
 Hebr. arose, and they went together unto Beer Shava, 
 LXX. rising they went together unto the well of the oath, 
 
 Vulg. and they went to Berfabee together, 
 
 Luther arose, and went together to Bersaba, 
 
 Tynd. rofe vp and went to gether to Berfeba. 
 
 Hebr. and Abraham dwelt at {or in) Beer Shava. 
 LXX. and Abraham dwelt at the well of the oath. 
 
 Vulg. and dwelt there. 
 
 Luther and he dwelt there. 
 
 Tynd. And Abraham dwelt at Berfeba. 
 
 Comparing these renderings with the Hebrew, we find that the 
 LXX. are very close except in the proper name, whose translation 
 into common speech obliterates the geography; the Vulgate restores 
 the geography, but fails to translate and they arose and condenses 
 And Abraham dwelt at Beer Shava into and dwelt there; Luther 
 restores and they arose, omitted by the Vulgate, but forsakes the 
 Hebrew for the Vulgate in the last clause; Tyndale adheres through- 
 out to the Hebrew, and impartial critics will concede that his version 
 is superior to the others. 
 
 The marginal notes of Tyndale in the present issue are 
 those of the edition of 1530 and differ materially from 
 those in the corrected edition of Genesis of 1534 as well as 
 those of Rogers of 1537. All the notes of Genesis 1534 
 are given in the collation in No. 8 of this Chapter; the 
 marginal notes of Luther (1. jH, N.) and Rogers (iH. jH. N.) 
 appear in the lower margin of this edition. 
 
 * To avoid variants I have rendered naar, pais, puer, and knabe as above. 
 
XC PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 All the marginal notes of the edition of 1530 except 
 those at xxiiii, 35, 60 and xxxii, 9 are omitted in that of 
 1534; with these exceptions the marginal notes of 1534 
 are new. The omitted notes are strongly anti-papal, 
 viz.. Gen. iv, 15; ix, 5; xlvii, 22, Tyndale's own example 
 in Genesis doubtless led Rogers to pursue a similar course 
 with the notes in the other books of the Pentateuch; 
 e. g., the note (1530) Ex. xii, 26. "The lambe was 
 called paffeouer that the very name it felf fhuld put them 
 in reinembraunce what it Jignified,for the signes that god 
 ordined ether Jignified the benefits done, or promyfes to 
 come, and were not domme as are the fignes of our domme 
 God the Pope^' appears in Matthew's Bible (1537) thus: 
 " The lambe was called Z^^- paffeouer: that the very name 
 it felfe fhulde kepe in memorye zvhat was fignyfyed therby, 
 which phrafe & maner of fpeakynge the fcripture vfeth 
 often, callynge the ,figne by the name of the thynge that it 
 sygnyfieth, as Gen. xvi, b." Again the note to Deut. 
 xxiii, 18 (1540) The hyre &c. reads: "The pope wil 
 take tribute of them yet and biffhopes and abbotes de- 
 fire no better tenauntes," stands in Matthew: "There 
 be now many that desyre no beter rentes." Some- 
 times the anti-papal note is entirely omitted, or makes 
 room for another: e. g., Deut. xix, 4 (1530): "The 
 popis fentuariese are of an other purpofe. For he had 
 lever haue the frenfhep of the euel, then to faue 
 them that are good," disappears in Matthew, which 
 gives in its place " Here are fhewed .ii. maner of man- 
 quellyng, &c., &c." 
 
 The notes of Luther are often anti-papal, but not as 
 bitter as Tyndale's; their characteristic is his allegorical 
 and typological treatment of things, persons, events and 
 institutions with a degree of dogmatism illustrative both 
 of the man and of the spirit of the time. A few examples 
 in English may prove interesting: 
 
 Gen. ix, 22. " Many draw from this story an argument that the 
 vices of prelates should not be denounced, although Christ and all 
 the apostles denounced them. But see that thou give it the right 
 
THE PENTATEUCH OF 153O. xd 
 
 sense, viz. that Noe is Christ and all believers; drunkenness is love 
 and faith in the Holy Spirit; and nudity the cross and sufferings 
 before the world; Ham, to practise false works, and hypocrites 
 who despise Christ and His people and delight in their suffer- 
 ings; Sem and lapheth are pious christians who praise and honor 
 such sufferings." 
 
 Gen. XXX, 32: " This story signifies that the Gospel leads the souls 
 of men away from the law-mongers and work-saints, wherein they 
 are party-colored, spotted and streaked, that is, adorned with the 
 manifold gifts of the Spirit, Rom. xii and I Cor. xii, and that incom- 
 petents only remain under the Law, and works, for Laban signifies 
 white or glittering and imports hypocrites even in the fair works of 
 the divine law." 
 
 The German word gleyffner, hypocrite, is derived from gleiffen, 
 to glitter, or appear white or resplendent. 
 
 Gen. xxxviii, 29: "Perez a tearer, Sorah means rising. This de-, 
 notes that the work-saints affect outwardly to thrust themselves for- 
 ward and aspire to be the first, but become the last, on which account 
 there rises a great tearing among the people of God. But the red 
 thread about the hand shows that they work carnal holiness and 
 persecute the true saints." 
 
 Ex. xiii, 6: " Leaven is so strongly prohibited, that we are to 
 preach the pure Gospel and the grace of God, and not our works 
 and the law, after the resurrection of Christ, as Paul shows i Cor. v. 
 and such eating is nothing else than faith in Christ." 
 
 Num. xxiii, 21: The trumpets of the king, b^c. "That is, the 
 bodily trumpets of God their king, who ordered them to be made, 
 because they were invincible in battle. But it means the Gospel in 
 Christendom," 
 
 The notes of Rogers are often didactic, but not as 
 dogmatical as those of Luther; they are frequently- 
 thoughtful and suggestive; e. g., 
 
 Lev. xxi, i: "The preaftes be warned that they fhall not come 
 at the commen waylynges & lamentacyons of the deed left, they ftiuld 
 therby be the moare vnapte to do their facryfyces wherunto they 
 were properly appoynted, and left they ftiulde by theire wepyng 
 geue an occafion to deftroye the beleuve of the refurreccion of the 
 dead." 
 
 Lev. ii, 13: "All offringes muft be falted with fait, whiche sig- 
 nyfieth that all our good workes muft be directed after the doc- 
 tryne of the Apoftles & prophetes, for then fliall they be accept- 
 able in the fyghte of the Lorde, yf they fauer of the fait therof, 
 & elles not." 
 
XCK PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 Occasionally, the notes of Rogers have been taken 
 from Luther. 
 
 Many of the notes of Luther, Tyndale and Rogers are 
 etymological and display the familiarity of the transla- 
 tors with the original scriptures, and not unfrequently 
 the embarrassments of Hebrew lexicography in the first 
 third of the sixteenth century. The Tables, &c., of 
 Tyndale are very interesting on this account, and re- 
 quire no comment; this applies also to the etymo- 
 logical notes of Rogers. A few examples from Luther 
 are the following. 
 
 Gen. xvii, 5: " Abram means high father, but Abraham denotes 
 father of multitudes, although the same multitudes are indicated in 
 his name by only one letter, not without cause;" xxi, 31: " Berfaba 
 denotes in German, oath-well, or earth-well, but perhaps also seven 
 wells; " xxiii, 2: " Hebron is Kiriath Arba, sayth Mofes, that is, four- 
 town, for all the great capitals were of old Arba, that is, divided into 
 four quarters, as Rome, Jerufalem and Babylon, also Gen. x."* 
 
 Rogers has but few etymological notes, but many ex- 
 planatory ones; e. g.y 
 
 Gen. XXXV, 18: "Ben lamin: that is the fonne of the ryghthand. 
 And righthande is taken for good fortune;" xlix, 27: Wolfe is here 
 taken in a good fence, and fignifieth a feruent preacher of godes 
 worde as was Paule in whome this text is verified;" Ex. xxv, 30: 
 " Shewbreed, becaufe it was alwaye in the prefence and fyghte of 
 the Lorde;" Lev. 1. 9: "This fwete odoure is: the facryfyce of fayth 
 & of pure affeccyon in which God is delited, as a man is delited 
 in the good fauoure of meates, as it is fayd of Noe, Gen. viii, d; " xxv, 
 10: " lubelye, of this Hebrewe woorde iobell, which in Englyfhe fygni- 
 fieth a trumpet. A yere of fynguler myrth and ioye and of mocke 
 reft, wher in their corne and all their frutes cam forth wythout fow- 
 ynge, tyllynge or any other laboures." 15 " By this iubelye is fyg- 
 nified the reftorynge of all thynge to his perfeccion, which fhal be 
 after the generall iudgement in that floryffhynge worlde, when the 
 chofen fhal be admytted in to lybertye from all wretchednes, pou- 
 ertye, anguyfhe & oppreffion, when all fhalbe fully reftored againe 
 in Christ, that thorow the fynne of the fyrst man was taken awaye." 
 
 * Rogers has this note on Gen. xiii, 18: " Ebron is the name of a citie where 
 Adam, Abraham and his wyfe with Ifaac &c. were buryed, as in Gen. xxiii, d." 
 
THE PENTATEUCH OF 1530. xciii 
 
 A few explanatory notes of archaic and obsolete 
 words have been given in the margin, but a much fuller 
 list will be found in No. 12 of this Chapter. 
 
 8. The Collations. 
 
 Three distinct collations have been made: i. one 
 of the book of Genesis of the edition of 1530 with that 
 of 1534, from the careful notes, in the margin of a dupli- 
 cate set of plate proofs, furnished by Dr. Culross; 2. an- 
 other of the Prologues of the edition of 1530 (1534) with 
 the text in Daye's folio of 1573, in those to Genesis 
 and Exodus, also by Dr. Culross; 3. and a third of the 
 text of the Pentateuch of 1530 with that of the Pen- 
 tateuch in Matthew's Bible of 1537. The last is given 
 immediately under Tyndale's text marked |K. These 
 collations are presented in parallel columns in order to 
 mark the variations and to illustrate the nature of the 
 changes introduced. The first intention of extending 
 the variants to orthography had to be abandoned as im- 
 practicable, for they are so numerous that their production 
 would have required a volume fully twice as large as this; 
 besides the practice of Tyndale and Rogers of spelling 
 the same word in constantly differing forms and the vari- 
 ations caused by the arbitrary use of contractions seemed 
 to be imperative reasons for limiting the comparisons to 
 different readings and renderings. To make this clear 
 to the eye is the design of the subjoined passage show- 
 ing all the variations in the editions of 1530, 1534 and 
 1537-

THE PENTATEUCH OF 153O. XCV 
 
 In these five verses 1534 differs from 1530 in 29 places 
 in the spelling and in 2 places in the punctuation; 1537 
 differs from 1530 in 26 places in the spelling and in 5 
 places in the punctuation. These numerous differences 
 are mainly due to the indiscriminate use of double or triple 
 forms of the same word by the same writer and the em- 
 ployment of contract forms introduced on purely technical 
 grounds to bring a given number of words or letters into a 
 line; if the available space was ample the printer used the 
 full form, if it was scant he chose the contract form. Of 
 the former we meet with, light, lighte, lyght, lyghte; hand, 
 hande, hand, honde; of both, and, ad, &"; hande, honde, 
 hade, hode; lambe, Idbe; heaven, heauen, heatie, heve; fyr- 
 mament, firmament, fyrmamet, firmamet; kynde, kinde, 
 kyde, hide. The contractions are mostly simple and be- 
 sides 1 for the, ^ for that, &' for and, are made over the 
 vowel, the presence of a long accent indicating that m. 
 or n has to be supplied, e. g., nothlge stands for nothinge, 
 CO. for can, Add for Adam, the for them; unusual forms 
 such as who me for whome, f fe for these are very rare. 
 The contractions in German are complicated, for they are 
 introduced over vowels and consonants, but as the latter 
 have not been used in this volume, it is unnecessary to 
 discuss the matter. 
 
 The subjoined photo-engravings of the same portion 
 of the book of Genesis in the editions of 1530 and 1534, 
 and of a page in Latin Letter of the former, afford a 
 true picture of their typographical characteristics, and 
 may have the effect of solving the question where they 
 were printed. Antiquarian students in Germany, Bel- 
 gium, and Holland, having access to books printed at 
 Wittenberg, Hamburg and Antwerp, between 1530 and 
 1534, will doubtless be able to shed light on this in- 
 teresting point. ^% They illustrate also, but only fee- 
 bly, the difference in the orthography and punctuation 
 followed in the editions of Genesis of 1530 and 1534. 
 
 4^*4^ I shall feel grateful for the communication of any facts 
 bearing on this subject, and beg that correspondence may be 
 forwarded to me through the London or New York publishers. 
 
XCvi PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 The transcripts from Matthew's Bible and Daye's edition 
 of Tyndale's Pentateuch of 1551* giving the same pas- 
 sage complete the picture of orthographical variety, sug- 
 gestive of valuable hints on the phonetic power of the 
 language.

 The punctuation calls for a few words of explanation. 
 In the edition of 1530 the marks used are the comma, 
 the colon, the interrogation point, the period, and occa- 
 sionally, parentheses. Very often no mark whatever is 
 used where modern usage requires one, especially at the 
 end of a sentence, of a line, a paragraph and even a 
 chapter. This peculiarity I have tried to preserve in all 
 cases where the sense is clear; where the absence of a 
 mark appeared to me to obscure the sense, a mark has 
 been supplied on the authority of Matthew's Bible which 
 is generally very accurate and conforms in this respect, 
 as well as in the matter of orthography, much more to 
 modern usage. The punctuation in the edition of 1534 
 is more consistent than in that of 1530. In very few in- 
 stances the punctuation has been supplied by consequence. 
 The absence of hyphens in the division of words has also 
 been preserved wherever it could be done without obscur- 
 ing the sense. The treatment of numerals introduced in 
 the text is that more or less common in old MSS. and in 
 the earliest specimens of printed books; a period gener- 
 ally precedes and follows a numeral, e. g., The .V. 
 chapter, at the end of a line the period following the 
 numeral, or at the beginning of a line the period preced- 
 ing the numeral are omitted, as .V (end of a line) and 
 V. (beginning of a line); the j instead of i in Roman nu- 
 merals has not been reproduced except in particular 
 citations, where the exact appearance of a title, &c., &c., 
 was intended to be given. This seemed to be consistent 
 with the general typographical arrangement of this edi- 
 tion which does not give the letter in facsimile. Letters 
 belonging to Black Letter type are of constant occurrence 
 in the body of words printed in Latin Letter, and occa- 
 sionally the comma of the former / is used instead of 
 the ordinary comma; these features also have not been 
 reproduced.

 A goodly comfort agaynft defperation. 11 10 
 Enfaples of their euils not to bolden vs but to feare vs fr5 
 
 finne and defperation. 30 
 Howe we ought to prepare oure felues, to the reading of 
 
 the fcriptures. 12 3 
 
 Fayth oure furefl fhield in all affaultes. 22 
 We may not truft in our works but in the word and prom- 
 
 ife of God. 39 
 
 God burdened with hys promife. 13 5 
 The holy ghofl breatheth* where and when it pleafeth 
 
 hym. 30 
 
 Confcience of euill doynges fyndeth out euill men. 37 
 
 Of fmall occafions do rife great euils. 14 9 
 
 Enfaples for our learnyng. 18 
 
 Notes on A Prologe in to thefeconde boke of Mofes, called Exodus. 
 
 Learn here how to read & vnderflad y* fcripture. 161 4 
 If we herken vnto the voyce of God, and bend our felues 
 to do hys wyl, he wyll be our God, & help vs, but other- 
 wife he wyl plague vs as he plagued the vnthankeful 
 
 and faytheleffe lewes. 20 
 
 Trufl and beleue in God, and care not what the world fay. 162 i 
 The world liketh well all wycked lyuers and vngodly 
 
 people. 8 
 
 Here is fet forth the office of euery good perfon, 20 
 
 Temptatio is the triall of true chriftians. y] 
 
 The excellency of faith which is the gifte of God. 163 2 
 
 Thofe who God fcourgeth he dearely loueth. 6 
 
 A neceffary*leffon for a good preacher. 11 
 
 God commaundeth that we fhold make no images. 18 
 
 The worfhipping of Idoles or Images was abhorred of god. 29 
 
 Witchcraft, forcery, &c. abhorred of God. 32 
 Mofes often rehearfeth the benefites of almighty God, to 
 
 moue vnto feare hym, and to loue our neighbour. 164 7 
 
 God will haue vs to be merciful to oure neighbore. 27 
 All the ceremonies of the olde teflament, were but preachers 
 
 of Chrift that was to come. 39 
 The beautie of the tabernacle was to keepe the lewes fr5 
 
 harkenyng to the heathen. 165 12 
 
 God hath two Teftaments, that is, the olde and the new. 27 
 The old teftament was built vpon the obferuatio of the 
 
 law. 38 
 
 The law could not geue lyfe. 166 13 
 
 The law is the vtterer of fmne. 18 
 
 The law was geuen by God to ftiewe what finne was. 31 
 Ceremonies are not geuen to iuftify the hart, but to figni- 
 
 fie our iuflificatid by Chrift. 40 
 
 Ceremonies cannot iuftify. 167 4 
 The new Teftament are the euerlaftyng promifes made to 
 
 vs in Chrift. 16 
 
 Faith only iuftifieth. 21 
 
 Good workes fpryng out of the loue we haue to God. 27 
 
 Where true faith is, there good workes do flow and c- bound. 40 
 
 * Misprinted breat/eth 
 
cxxii PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 The new Teftament was from the beginnyng. i68 7 
 
 Our temporall lawes fpring out of the law of nature. 17 
 
 Loue counfelleth the faythfuU to worke. 29 
 We muft no^* prefume in our well doing., nor* codene 
 others that run aftray: the last which turneth to god 
 
 is as farre forward as the firft. 40 
 
 Notes on A Prologe in to the thirde boke of Mofes, 
 called Leuiticus. 
 
 Mas wifdome is playn Idolatry, it fcattereth, diuideth, and 
 
 maketh fectes. 289 3 
 
 Ceremonies to the Ifraelites and lewes were as good fchole- 
 
 maflers are to young fcholers. 12 
 
 All thynges were firfl reueled in ceremonies and fhadowes 
 
 vntill it pleafed almighty God, to reuele hys fonne 
 
 lefu Chrifl. 289 20 
 
 Small and litle giftes geue by the parentes to their children, 
 
 caufeth loue & obedience. 290 6 
 
 Sacrifices aud ceremonies ferue for allegories to find out 
 
 Chrift. 13 
 
 Similitudes proue nothyng, but doe more playnly lead thee 
 
 to vnderfland the text. 17 
 
 Some ceremonies coteine wholefome and profitable doctrine. 29 
 
 Ceremonies ordeyned to confirme our fayth. 37 
 
 Gods fecretes were opened but to a fewe. 291 2 
 
 The ceremonies them felues faued not, but faith in Gods 
 
 promife. I2 
 
 Our nature is fo weake that we muft be holpen by out- 
 
 warde fignes and tokens. 29 
 
 No man is holpen by Gods promifes, but fmners that feele 
 
 their finne. 38 
 
 Sacramets truly miniftred are profitable. 292 2 
 
 Sacramets truly miniftred preach vnto vs repetaunce of 
 
 our finnes. 8 
 
 Not naked or dome ceremonies, but the holy ghofte 
 
 throughe fayth waftieth away finnes. 18 
 
 The difference betwene a facrifice, and a Sacrament. 35 
 
 What ftate we dye in the fame wee fhall rife agayn, either 
 
 of faluation or damnation. 293 2 
 
 The Sacramentes are vnto y' dead, no Sacramentes at all. 14 
 
 Sacramentes abufed by y* Clergy. 18 
 
 The Papiftes haue had no fmall frend and good helper of 
 
 the maffe. 23 
 
 Hipocrites prayers ca neither profite them felues, nor any 
 
 ma els. 27 
 
 Thofe are enemies to the worde of God, loue neither god 
 
 nor his people. 34 
 
 Allegories are to bee wel weyed and confidered. 294 6 
 
 The greateft caufe of the decay of faith and blindnes that 
 
 wee were in, was thorough Allegories. 10 
 
 How allegories are to bee vnderftand. 17 
 
 The ryght vfe of allegories. 24 
 
 Baptifme is y* commo badge of all true profeffours of Chrift. 33 
 
 * The letters t and r are transposed in the Original. 
 
THE PENTATEUCH OF 153O, CXXlll 
 
 p. L. 
 
 Baptifme teacheth vs repentaunce of finne. 295 3 
 
 The bare wafliyng helpeth not but through the worde of 
 
 fayth it purifieth vs. 9 
 
 How chrift boroweth figures of the old Teftament, to make 
 
 plain the textes of the new teftament. 24 
 
 Our duety is to do good dedes but faluation we cannot 
 
 chalege therby. 296 16 
 
 A good example taken of the Lepers. 22 
 
 The true preachyng of Gods word, doth bynde ana lofe 
 
 confciences. 34 
 
 In allegories is both hony & gall, that is to fay, both 
 
 good & euil. , 297 5 
 
 All good dedes are gods workmanfhip, & wee hys inftru- 
 
 metes wherby he doth them. 22 
 
 Notes on A Prologe in to the fourth boke of Mofes, 
 called Numeri. 
 
 Freewill and vnbeliefe were the ouerthrow of oure fore- 
 fathers. 385 5 
 Then cannot they be the childre of God, which put more 
 
 truft in their owne workes, then in y' bloud of lefus 
 
 Chrift. 16 
 
 Faithleffe workes. 3^6 I 
 
 The Pharifes by their freewill excluded them felues from 
 
 the faluati5 in Chrift. 7 
 
 Blafphemy to chriftes death. 23 
 
 O fubtle Foxes thorow pouerte made themfelues Lordes 
 
 of all. 28 
 
 Wilfull chaftitie is wilful wickednes. 4 
 
 The Papiftes wilful obedience, is comon difobedience to 
 
 all princes. Z'^'] 5 
 
 Our righteoufnes commeth not by our merites, but thorow 
 
 fayth, by the bloud of our fauiour lefus Chrift. 13 
 
 Fayth only bringeth vs to chrift and vnbelief driueth vs 
 
 from Chrift. 21 
 
 Chrift rebuked the Pharifes for their holy and hipocritical 
 
 dedes. 29 
 
 The pharifes afcribe righteoufnefle to workes, & ther- 
 
 fore were condemned of Chrift. 39 
 
 The iuftifying of our felues maketh the diuell more bufier 
 
 then he wold be. 388 9 
 
 What is meant in the fcripture by this word vii. tymes. 16 
 
 Meritmogers y'= more their blindnes is rebuked, the more 
 
 they rebell againft Chrift and his gofpell. 24 
 
 The doctrine of the pharifes, and the doctrine of our papifts 
 
 do well agree. 34 
 
 The Papiftes cannot away with iustification by fayth. 389 13 
 
 Of vowes. 16 
 
 God accepteth for vs none other facrifice, but onely lefu 
 
 chrift his fonne. 28 
 
 All holines in our own imaginatio is a robbing of chriftes 
 
 honor. yj 
 
 Faith foloweth repentaunce of finne. 390 22 
 
 Repentace goeth before fayth, and prepareth the way vnto 
 
 Chrift. 30 
 
CXXIV PROLEGOMENA. 
 
 How our workes are good in the fight of God. 390 39 
 The work faueth not, but the word, that is to fay, the 
 
 promife. 391 6 
 
 An apt fimilitude for reward of good workes. 17 
 All vowes mufl be made for y mortifying or tamyng of 
 
 our members or the edifying of our neighbours, 01 
 
 els they are wicked. 24 
 
 How we ought to vowe wilfull pouertie. 32 
 
 Whether fifhed the Popes prelates with this net or no ? 392 2 
 Our workes do not fland in the wifedome of ma but in the 
 
 power of God. 24 
 
 Defert, and fre gift are contraries. 393 2 
 The fight of riches, is rather a caufe of couetoufnes then a 
 
 meane to honor God. 14 
 
 Whether dyd the papifl fo or no 30 
 Yet y* fpiritualties pilage was more then theyr {landing 
 
 ftiped. 41 
 
 A good vowe is to kepe Gods commaundementes. 394 6 
 
 How thou mayft. lawfully goe on pilgrimage. 17 
 God heareth all that call vppon him in all tymes and at al 
 
 places alyke. 30 
 
 God dwelleth not in temples made with mannes handes. 34 
 
 God regardeth the hart & not y* place w^here wee pray. 395 4 
 
 Wilfull chaftitie is not mete for all perfons to vow. 1 1 
 
 Falfe fayned chaflitie. ' 24 
 The Pope reflrayned that which God permitted and fetteth 
 
 at liberty that which God forbiddeth. 35 
 
 A good adminition to fuch as wil make vowes. 396 6 
 
 Wherunto and howe we fhould apply our vowes. 17 
 
 How a vow is to be made. 22 
 He that fafleth to any other ende tha to tame his body, 
 
 that it may wayte vpon God, deceiueth hym felfe. 32 
 All our doynges mud tende to the honour of God, and loue 
 
 of our neighbour. 397 2 
 
 Notes to A Prologe in to the fyfte boke of Mofes, 
 called Deuteronomye. 
 
 This boke is a preachyng of fayth and loue. 4 
 Here thou mayell learne a right meditation or contempla- 
 tion. 8 
 The workes of God are fupernatural. 17 
 We mufl abflaine fro outward euill though not for loue yet 
 
 for feare of the vengeance of God. 27 
 
 Vnto the law of god, we may neither add nor minifh. 31 
 
 We are comaunded to abflayne from Images. 5^8 4 
 
 God is mercyful to them that repent. 12 
 Chrifl hath deliuered vs, & therfore we ought to ferue him 
 
 & our neyghbour for his fake. 20 
 
 Loue onely is the fulfillyng of the lawes of God. 29 
 
 We mufl truft. onely in God, & not in our felues. yj 
 How a ma may trye & examine hym felfe, how much he 
 
 loueth God, and his neighbour. 5^9 ^ 
 
 God flyrreth vp his people vnto fayth. 13 
 
 A right of way of prayer. 17 
 
 The pith & effect of all y lawes of God. 20 
 
THE PENTATEUCH OF 1530. 
 
 cxxv 
 
 And if wee firft loue God, then out of that loue, we muft 
 
 nedes loue our neighbour. 519 27 
 
 What it is to loue and feare God, and what it is to defpife 
 
 him. 36 
 
 The word of god may not be altered. 520 i 
 
 Let no man draw vs from gods worde. 4 
 
 Of maters of the common weale. 14 
 
 None may be condemned vnder two witneffes. 22 
 
 Chrifl our fauiour declared in the old teftament. 35 
 
 The curfe and wrath of God ouer al thofe that break his 
 
 lawes. 521 I 
 
 We may not be to curious in the fearchyng of Gods fecretes, 
 but rather fludy to vnderftand & to do our duety 
 toward god and our neighbour. 9

 " But Moyses and Aaron which were the 
 heads of that people, whereof then be they 
 shadow? Without doubt they must be the 
 shadow of Christ and of his vicar, St. Peter, 
 which under Christ was also the head of chris- 
 tian people." "The third likeness is this. 
 Moyses ascended unto the mount to speak 
 with Almighty God, and Aaron remained 
 behind to instruct the people. Did not Christ 
 likewise ascend unto his Father, unto the 
 great mount of heaven ? and to what intent, 
 I pray you ? St. Paul telleth: Ut appareat 
 vuUui Dei pro nobis: To appear before the 
 face of Almighty God for us, and there to be 
 our advocate, as saith St. John. And did not 
 Peter remain behind to teach the people, the 
 which our Saviour committed to his charge, 
 like as Aaron was left for to do the people of 
 the Jews, when Moses was alone in the mount 
 with God ? Thus every man may see how 
 that shadow, and this thing, agreeth and an- 
 swereth one to another, fully and clearly."

 the treuth, that they myght with as litle laboure (as 
 I fuppofe) haue tranflated the mofte parte of the bible. 
 For they which in tymes pafte were wont to loke on 
 no more fcripture then they founde in their duns or 
 5 foch like develyfh doctryne, haue yet now fo narowlye 
 loked on my tranflatyon, that there is not fo moch as 
 one I therin if it lacke a tytle over his hed, but they 
 haue noted it, and nombre it vnto the ignorant people 
 for an herefy. Finallye in this they be all agreed, to 
 
 10 dryve you from the knowlege of the fcripture, & that 
 ye fhall not haue the texte therof in the mother tonge, 
 and to kepe the world ftyll in darkeneffe, to thentent 
 they might fitt in the confciences of the people, thorow 
 vayne fuperftition and falfe doctrine, to fatiffye their 
 
 15 fylthy luftes, their proude ambition, and vnfatiable 
 covetuoufnes, and to exalte their awne honoure aboue 
 kinge & emperoure, yee & aboue god him filfe 
 
 I A thoufand bokes had they lever to be put forth 
 agenfte their abhominable doynges and doctrine, then 
 
 20 that the fcripture fhulde come to light. For as longe 
 as they maye kepe that doune, they will fo darken the 
 ryght way with the .?. mifte of their fophifbrye, and fo 
 tangle the that ether rebuke or defpyfe their abhomin- 
 ations with argumerites of philofophye & with wordly 
 
 25 fymylitudes and apparent reafons of naturall wifdom. 
 And with wreftinge the fcripture unto their awne pur- 
 pofe clene contrarye unto f proceffe, order and mean- 
 inge of the texte, and fo delude them in defcantynge 
 vppon it with alligoryes, and amafe the expoundinge

 35 [ Which thinge onlye moved me to tranflate the 
 new teftament. Becaufe I had perceaved by expery- 
 ence, how that it was impoffible to ftablyfh the laye 
 people in any truth, excepte y fcripture were playnly 
 layde before their eyes in their mother tonge, that they

 poundinge it in foch a fenfe as is impoffi- .?. ble to 
 gether of the texte, if thou fee the proceffe ordre and 
 meaninge therof. 
 
 1 And even in the biffhope of londons houfe I en- 
 
 lo tended to have done it. For when I was fo turmoyled 
 in the contre where I was that I coude no lenger there 
 dwell (the proceffe wherof were to longe here to re- 
 herce) I this wyfe thought in my filfe, this I fuffre be- 
 caufe the preftes of the contre be vnlerned, as god it 
 
 15 knoweth there are a full ignorant forte which haue 
 fene no more latyn then that they read in their por- 
 teffes and miffales which yet many of them can fcacely 
 read, (excepte it be Albertus de fecretis mulieru in 
 which yet, though they be never fo foryly lerned, 
 
 20 they pore day and night and make notes therin and 
 all to teach the mydwyves as they fay, and linwod a 
 boke of conftitutions to gether tithes, mortuaryes, 
 offeringes, cuftoms, and other pillage, which they 
 calle, not theirs, but godes parte and the deuty of 
 
 25 holye chirch, to difcharge their confciences with all: 
 for they are bound that they fhall not dimynyfh, but 
 encreace all thinge vnto the vttmoft of their powers) 
 and therfore (becaufe they are thus vnlerned thought 
 I) when they come to gedder to the ale houfe, which 
 
 30 is their preachinge place, they afferme that my fa- 
 inges are herefy. And befydes f they adde to of thir 
 awne heddes which I never fpake, as the maner is to 
 prolonge the tale to fhorte .?. the tyme with all, and 
 accufe me fecretly to the chauncelare and other the 
 
 35 bifhopes officers, And in deade, when I cam before 
 the chauncelare, he thretened me grevoufly, and re- 
 vyled me and rated me as though I had bene a dogge, 
 and layd to my charge wherof there coude be none 
 accufer brought forth, (as their maner is not to bringe 
 
 40 forth the accufer) and yet all the preftes of f contre 
 were f fame daye there. As I this thought the

 bifhope of london came to my remembrance whom 
 Erafmus (whofe tonge maketh of litle gnattes greate 
 elephates and lifteth upp aboue the ftarres whofoever 
 geveth him a litle exhibition) prayfeth excedingly 
 5 amonge other in his annotatyons on the new tefla- 
 ment for his great learninge. Then thought I, if I 
 might come to this mannes fervice, I were happye. 
 And fo I gate me to london, & thorow the accoynt- 
 aunce of my mafter came to fir harry gilford the 
 
 lo kinges graces countroller, ad brought him an oration 
 of Ifocrates which I had tranflated out of greke in to 
 Englifh, and defyred him to fpeake vnto my lorde of 
 london for me, which he alfo did as he fhewed me, ad 
 willed me to write a piftle to my lorde, and to goo to 
 
 15 him my filf which I alfo did, and delivered my piftle 
 to a fervaunt of his awne, one wyllyam hebilthwayte, 
 a ma of myne old accoyntauce. But god which know- 
 eth what is within hypocrites, fa we that I was begyled, 
 ad that that councell was not the nexte way vnto T. my 
 
 20 purpofe. And therfore he gate me no favoure in my 
 lordes fight [ Wheruppo my lorde anfwered me, his 
 houfe was full, he had mo the he coude well finde, and 
 advifed me to feke in london, wher he fayd I coude 
 not lacke a fervice. And fo in london I abode almofte 
 
 25 an yere, and marked the courfe of the worlde, and herde 
 oure pratars, I wold fay oure preachers how they bofted 
 them felves and their hye authorite, and beheld the 
 pompe of oure prelates and how befyed they were as 
 they yet are, to fet peace and vnite in the worlde 
 
 30 (though it be not pofTible for them that walke in 
 darkeneffe to cotinue longe in peace, for they can not 
 but ether floble or dafh them felves at one thinge or 
 a nother that fhall cleane vnquyet all togedder) & fawe 
 thinges wherof I deferre to fpeake at this tyme and un- 
 
 35 derftode at the lafte not only that there was no rowme 
 
 in my lorde of londons palace to tranflate the new tef- 
 
 tament, but alfo that there was no place to do it in all 
 
 englonde, as experience doth now openly declare.

 And beholde how righteous, howe ho-

 1 As thou readefte therfore thinke that every 
 fillable pertayneth to thyne awne filf, and fucke out 
 5 the pithe of the fcripture, and arm thy fdf ageynft all 
 affaultes. Firfte note with flronge faith the power of 
 god in creatinge all of nought Then marke the 
 grevous fall of Adam and of vs all in him, thorow 
 the lightregardige of the .IT. commaundement of god. 
 
 lo In the .iiii. Chapitre god turneth him vnto Abel and 
 then to his offeringe, but not to Cain and his offeringe. 
 Where thou feeft that though the deades of the evel 
 apere outwardly as gloryous as the deades of the good: 
 yet in the fight of god which loketh on the harte, the 
 
 15 deade is good becaufe of the man, and not the man 
 good becaufe of his deade. In the .vi. God fendeth 
 Noe to preach to the weked and geveth them fpace to 
 repent: they wax hard herted, God bringeth them to 
 nought And yet faveth Noe: even by the fame water 
 
 20 by which he deftroyed them. Marke alfo what folowed 
 the pryde of the buyldinge of the toure of Babel 
 
 Confydre how God fendeth forth Abraha out of his 
 awne countre in to a fbrange lande full of weked people, 
 and gave him but a bare promeffe with him that he 
 
 25 wold bleffe him and defende him. Abraham beleved: 
 and that worde faued and delyuered him in all parelles: 
 fo that we fe, how that mannes life is not mayntayned 
 by bred onlye (as Chrifte fayeth) but moch rather by 
 belevinge the promyfes of god. Behold how foberly and 
 
 30 how circufpectly both Abraham and alfo Ifaac behaue 
 them felves amoge the infideles. Abraham byeth that 
 which might have ben geven him for nought, to cutte 
 of occafions. Ifaac when his welles which he had digged 
 were taken from him, geveth rowme and refifteth not. 
 
 35 More over they ere and fo- .IT. we and fede their catell, 
 and make confederacyons, ad take perpetuall truce, and 
 do all outward thinges: Even as they do which have 
 no faith, for god hath not made vs to be ydle in this 
 world. Every man muft worke godly and truly to 
 
 4D the vttmofte of the power that god hath geven him: 
 and yet not trufte therin: but in goddes worde or 
 
fhewinge the vfe of the fcripture 13 
 
 promeffe: and god will worke with vs and bringe that 
 we do to good effecte. And the when oure power will 
 extend no further, goddes promeffes wyll worke all 
 alone 
 5 [ How many thinges alfo refifted the promeffes of 
 god to lacob? And yet lacob coniureth god with his 
 awne promeffes fayenge? O god of my father Abraham: 
 and god of my father Ifaac, O Lorde which faydefte 
 vnto me returne vnto thyne awne contre, and vnto 
 
 10 the place were thou wafte borne and I wil do the good 
 I am not worthy of the lefte of thofe mercyes, nor of 
 that trouth which thou hafte done to thy feruant I 
 went out but with a ftaffe, and come home with .ii 
 droves, delyver me out of the handes of my brother 
 
 15 Efau, for I feare him greatly &c. And god delyvered 
 him, and will likewyfe all that call unto his promeffes 
 with a repentinge herte, were they never fo great 
 fynners. Marke alfo the weake infirmites of the ma 
 He loveth one wife more than a nother, one fonne 
 
 20 more than a nother. And fe how god purgeth him. 
 Efau threteneth him: Laban begyleth him. The be- 
 loued wife is longe baren: his .f. doughter is ravyfhed: 
 his wife is defyled, and that of his awne fonne. Rahel 
 dieth, lofeph is taken a way, yee and as he fuppofed 
 
 25 rent of wild beaftes And yet how gloryous was hys 
 ende ? Note the wekeneffe of his Children, yee and 
 the fynne of them, and how god thorow their awne 
 wekednes faved them. Thefe enfamples teach vs that 
 a man is not attonce parfecte the firfte daye he be- 
 
 30 ginneth to lyve wel They that be ftronge therfore 
 
 mufte fuffre with the weake, and helpe to kepe them in 
 
 vnite & peace one with a nother vntill they beftroger 
 
 Note what the brethren fayde when they were tached 
 
 in Egipte, we haue verelye fynned (fayde they) ageynfle 
 
 35 oure brother in f we fawe the anguyfh of his foule when 
 he befought vs, and wold not heare him: ad therfore is 
 this tribulation come vppon vs. By which enfample 
 thou feifte, how that confcience of evyll doenges findeth 
 men out at the lafte. But namely in tribulacyon and 
 
 40 adverfyte: there temptacyon and alfo defperacyon: 
 yee and the verye paynes of hell find vs out: there

 the foule feleth the ferfe wrath of god and wyffheth 
 mountaynes to falle on her and to hyde her (yf it were

 Marke alfo how greate evelles folow of how litle 
 5 an occafion Dinah goeth but forth alone to fe the 
 doughters of the contre, and how greate myfcheve 
 and troble folowed? lacob loved but one fonne more 
 then a nother, ad how grevous T. murther folowed in 
 their hartes? Thefe are enfamples for oure learninge 
 lo to teach us to walke warely and circufpectlye in the 
 worlde of weake people, that we geve no ma occafions

 dreames. Thofe promeffes accopanyed him all ways, 
 
 15 and went doune wyth him even in to the depe dongeon, 
 And brought him vppe agayne. And never for foke 
 him till all that was promyfed was fulfilled. Thefe 
 are enfamples wryte for oure learnige (as paule fayth)

 fubmytte them felves to folow god Ihuld note and 
 marke foch thinges, for theyr lerninge and comforte, is 
 the frute of the fcripture and caufe why it was wryten: 
 And with foch a purpofe to read it, is the waye to

 9 And the chefe butlar tolde his dreame to lofeph

 10 ftode a vyne before me, and in the vyne were .iii 
 braunches, and it was as though it budded, & her 
 
 11 bloffos fhott forth: & f grapes there of waxed rype. 
 And I had Pharaos cuppe in my hande, and toke of 
 the grapes and wronge them in to Pharaos cuppe, 
 & delyvered Pharaos cuppe in to his hande. 
 
 12 And lofeph fayde vnto him, this is the interpreta- 
 
 13 tion of it. The .iii. branches ar thre dayes: for within 
 thre dayes fhall Pharao lyft vp thine heade, and reftore 
 the vnto thyne office agayne, and thou fhalt delyuer 
 Pharaos cuppe in to his hade, after the old maner, 
 
 14 even as thou dydeft when thou waft his butlar. But 
 thinke on me with the, when thou art in good cafe,

 me to Pharao, and helpe to brynge me out of this

 & here alfo haue I done nothige at all wherfore they 
 fhulde haue put me in to this dongeon.

 troubled And he fent and called for all the foyth- 
 fayers of Egypte and all the wyfe men there of, and 
 told them his dreame: but there was none of them 
 that coude interpretate it vnto Pharao. 
 
 9 Than fpake the chefe buttelar vnto Pharao faynge. 
 
 10 I do remembre my fawte this daye. Pharao was an- 
 grie with his fervauntes, and put in warde in the chefe 
 
 11 marfhals houfe both me and the chefe baker. And 
 we dreamed both of vs in one nyght and ech mannes 
 dreame of a fondrye interpretation. 
 
 12 And there was with vs a yonge man, an Hebrue 
 borne, fervaunte vnto the chefe marfhall. And we 
 told him, and he declared oure dreames to vs acord-

 them vnto vs, euen fo it came to paffe, I was reftored 
 to myne office agayne, and he was hanged.

 made him hafte out of prefon. And he fhaued him

 15 And Pharao fayde vnto lofeph: I haue dreamed a

 17 Pharao fayde vnto lofeph: in my dreame me thought 
 .18 I ftode by a ryvers fyde, and there came out of the 
 
 ryver .vii. fatt flefhed ad well fauored kyne, and fedd 
 J9 in the medowe. And then .vii. other kyne came vp 
 
 after them, poore and very euell fauored ad leane 
 
 flefhed: fo that I neuer fawe their lyke in all the lande 
 CO of Egipte in euell fauordneffe. And the .vii. leane and 
 
 21 euell fauored kyne ate vpp the firft .vii. fatt kyne And 
 when they had eaten them vp, a man cowde not per- 
 ceaue that they had eate them: for they were ftill as 
 evyll fauored as they were at the begynnynge. And 
 I awoke. 
 
 22 And I fawe agayne in my dreame .vii. eares fprynge 
 
 23 out of one ftalk full and good, and .vii. other eares 
 wytherd, thinne and blafted with wynde, fprynge vp 
 
 24 after them. And the thynne eares deuowred the .vii 
 good eares. And I haue tolde it vnto the foth- [Fo. 
 LX.] fayers, but no man can tell me what it meaneth. 
 
 25 Then lofeph fayde vnto Pharao: both Pharaos 
 dreames are one. And god doth fhewe Pharao what 
 
 26 he is aboute to do. The .vii. good kyne are .vii 
 yeres: & the .vii. good eares are .vii. yere alfo, and 
 
 27 is but one dreame. Lykewyfe, the .vii. thynne and 
 euell fauored kyne that came out after them, are .vii 
 yeares: and the .vii. emptie and blafted eares fhalbe 
 
 28 vii. yeares of hunger. This is that which I fayde vnto 
 Pharao, that God doth fhewe Pharao what he is aboute 
 to doo. 
 
 29 Beholde there fhall come .vii. yere of great plen- 
 
 30 teoufnes through out all the lande of Egypte. And 
 there fhall aryfe after them .vii. yeres of hunger. So

 afene in the land by reafon of that hun- afene, /ene, 
 ger that fhall come after, for it fhalbe i- ^- known

 was dubled vnto Pharao the fecond tyme, it betoken- 
 eth that the thynge is certanly prepared of God, ad 
 that God will fhortly brynge it to paffe. 
 
 33 Now therfore let Pharao provyde for a man of vn- 
 derftondynge and wyfdome, and fett him over the 
 
 34 lande of Egipte. And let T. Pharao make officers 
 ouer the lande, and take vp the fyfte parte of the land 
 
 35 of Egipte in the .vii. plenteous yeres and let them 
 gather all the foode of thefe good yeres that come, 
 ad lay vp corne vnder the power of Pharo: that there 
 may be foode in the cities, and there let them kepte 
 
 36 it: that there may be foode in ftoore in the lande, 
 agaynfl the .vii. yeres of hunger which fhall come in 
 the lande of Egipte, and that the lande perifhe not 
 thorow hunger. 
 
 37 And the faynge pleafed Pharao ad all his feruauntes. 
 
 38 Than fayde Pharao vnto his fervauntes: where fhall 
 we fynde foch a ma as this is, that hath the fprete of

 40 Thou therfore fhalt be ouer my houfe, and acordinge

 lofeph: beholde, I haue fett the ouer all the lande of

 called lofephs name Zaphnath Paenea. And he gaue

 46 And he was .xxx. yere olde whe he ftode before Pharao

 Pharao, and went thorow out all the lande of Egipte. 
 
 47 And in the .vii. pleteous yeres they made fheves 
 
 48 and gathered vp all the fode of the .vii. plenteous

 50 And vnto lofeph were borne .ii. fonnes before the

 holye workes before worldly people: but vnto them

 To walke with god is to lyve godly and to walke

 Enos walked with god, and was no moare fene : that is,

 25 That lofeph broughtthe egiptians in to foch fubiiec-

 fifte part of that that grewe on the grounde. And 
 therwith were they qwytt of all duetyes, both of rent, 
 
 30 cuftome, tribute & toll. And the kinge therwith founde 
 them lordes and all miniflres and defended them. 
 We now paye half fo moch vnto the prefles only, 
 befyde their other craftye exactions. Then paye we 
 rent yerely, though there grow never fo litle on the 
 
 35 grounde. And yet, when the kinge cal- .1. leth paye we

 F the preface vppo Genefis mayft thou vn- 
 derftonde how to behaue thi filf in this boke 
 alfo ad i all other bokes of the fcripture. 
 Cleaue vnto the texte and playne ftorye 
 5 and endevoure thi filf to ferch out the meaninge of all 
 that is defcribed therin and the true fenfe of all maner 
 of fpeakynges of the fcripture, of proverbes, fimilitudes 
 ad borowed fpeach, wherof I entreated in the ende of 
 the obedience, and beware of fotle allegoryes. And 
 
 lo note euery thinge erneftly as thinges partayninge 
 vnto thine awne herte and foule. For as god vfed 
 hym fylf vnto them of the old teftament, even fo fhall 
 he vnto the worldes ende vfe him filf vnto vs which 
 haue receaved his holye fcripture ad the teftimonye of 
 
 IS his fonne lefus. As god doeth all thinges here for them 
 that beleve his promifes and herken vnto his com- 
 maundmentes and with pacience cleaue vnto him and 
 walke with him: euen fo fhall he do for vs, yf we re- 
 ceaue the witneffe of Chrift with a ftronge faith and 
 
 20 endure paciently folowinge his fteppes. And on the 
 otherfyde, as they that fell from the promises of god 
 thorow vnbelefife and from his liawe and ordinaunces 
 thorow impaciencie of their awne luftes, were for faken 
 of god ad fo peryfhed: even fo fhall we as many as do 
 
 25 lykewyfe and as.f .manye as mock with the doctrine 
 of chrifb and make a cloke of it to lyue flefhlye ad to 
 folow oure luftes. 
 
 Note therto how god is founde true at the laft, and 
 how when all is paft remedye ad brought into defpera- 
 
 ;o cion, he then fulfilleth his promifes, and that by an ab- 
 iecte and a caftawaye, a defpifed and a refufed perfon: 
 ye and by awaye impoffible to beleue. 
 
 The caufe of all captiuite of goddes people is this. 
 The worlde ever hateth them for their fayth and truft 
 
 35 which they haue in god: but i vayne vntill they falle fro 
 the fayth of the promyfes ad love of the lawe ad ordi- 
 
i62 3E S 
 
 naunces of god, and put their truft in holy deades of their 
 awne findinge and live all to gether at their awne luft 
 and pleafure without regard of god or refpecte of their 
 neygboure. Then god forftketh vs and fendeth vs in to 
 5 captiuite for oure difhonouringe of his name and defpifinge 
 of oure neghboure. But the world perfecuteth vs for oure 
 faith in chrift only (as the pope now doeth) ad not for 
 oure weked livinge For in his kigdome thou maift 
 quietly ad with licece ad vnder a protectio doo what 
 
 lo fo euer abhominatio thi herte lufteth: but god perfe- 
 cuteth us becaufe we abufe his holye teftamet, ad 
 becaufe that whe we knowe the truth we folowe it 
 not. 
 
 .?. Note alfo the mightye hand of the Lorde, how 
 
 15 he playeth with his aduerfaries ad provoketh the ad 
 fturreth the upp a litle ad a litle, ad deliuereth not his 
 people in an houre: that both the paciece of his electe 
 ad alfo the worldly witte ad wilye policye of the weked 
 wherwith they fight agaynft god, might appeare. 
 
 20 Marke the longefoferinge and fofte paciece of Mofes and 
 how he loveth the people ad is euer betwene the wrath of 
 god ad the ad is readye to lyue ad dye with the ad to 
 be put out of the boke that god had written for their 
 fakes (as Paule for his brothren Roma, ix.) and how 
 
 25 he taketh his awne wroges pacientlie ad never avengeth 
 him filf And make not Mofes a figure of Chrift with 
 Rocheftre: but an enfample vnto all princes ad to all 
 that are in authorite, how to rule vnto goddes pleafure 
 ad vnto their neyghbours profette. For there is not a 
 
 30 perfecter lyfife in this world both to the honoure of god 
 and profytte of his neygboure nor yet a greatter croffe, 
 the to rule chriftenlye. And of Aaron alfo fe that thou 
 make no figure of chrift vntill he come vnto his facri- 
 fifinge, but an enfample vnto all preachers of goddes 
 
 35 worde, that they adde nothing vnto goddes worde or 
 take ought therfro. 
 
 Note alfo how god fendeth his promiffe to .?. 
 the people ad Mofes confermeth it with miracles ad 
 the people beleve. But whe teptacion cometh they 
 
 40 falle into vnbeleffe ad few byde ftodinge. Where 
 thou feeft that all be not chrifte that wilbe fo called, 
 
w t!r 163 
 
 ad that the croffe trieth the true fro the fayned: 
 for yf the croffe were not Chrift fhuld haue diffiples 
 ynowe. Wherof alfo thou feefb what an excellent gifte 
 off god true fayth is, ad impoffible to be had without 
 5 the fprete of god. For it is aboue all naturall power 
 that a man in tyme of teptation when god fcorgeth 
 him fhuld beleue then fbedfafblye how that god loveth 
 him ad careth for hi ad hath prepared all good 
 thinges for him, ad that that fcorginge is as erneft that 
 
 10 god hath electe and chofe him. 
 
 Note how oft Mofes fturreth the vpp to beleve ad to 
 truft in god, puttinge the in remembraunce alwaye in 
 tyme of temptation of the miracles and wonders which 
 god had wrought before tyme in their eyfight. How 
 
 15 diligently alfo forbiddeth he al that might withdrawe 
 their hartes from god.? to put nought to goddes word: to 
 take nought therfro: to do only that which is right in the 
 fyght of the Lorde: that they fhuld make no maner image 
 to knele doune before it: ye that they fhuld make none 
 
 20 altar of hewed ftone for feare off images: .?. to flee the 
 hethen Idolatres vtterly ad to deftroye their Idolles 
 ad cutte doune their groves where they worfhupped: 
 And that they fhulde not take the doughters of them 
 vnto their fonnes, nor geue their doughters to the fonnes 
 
 25 of them. And that whofoeuer moued any of the to 
 worJliuppe falfe goddes, how fo euer nye of kynne he 
 were, they mull accufe him ad bryng him to deth, ye 
 and wherefoeuer they hard of ma, woma or citye that 
 worfhupped falfe goddes, they muft flee the ad deflroye 
 
 30 the citie for ever ad not bild it agayne. And all be- 
 caufe they fhuld worfhuppe nothinge but God, nor put 
 confidence in any thinge faue in his word Yee and 
 how warneth he to beware of witchcraft, forcery, in- 
 chauntment, negromatie ad all craftes of the devell, 
 
 35 ad of dreamers, fothfayers and of myracledoers to 
 deftroye his worde, and that they fhulde fuffer none 
 foch to lyue. 
 
 Thou wilt happlye faye. They tell a man the truthe. 
 What then.'' God will that we care not to knowe what 
 
 40 fhall come. He will haue vs care only to kepe his com- 
 maundmetes and to commytte all chaunfes vnto him 
 
f 64 , 'Wi M 
 
 He hath promyfed to care for vs and to kepe vs from 
 all evell. All thinges are in his hande, he can remedye 
 all thinges and wil for his truthes fake, yf we praye him. 
 In his promyfes only will he haue vs truft ad there reft 
 
 5 ad to feke .?. no farther. 
 
 How alfo doth he prouoke them to loue, euer 
 reherfynge the benefites of God done to them all- 
 ready and the godly promyfes that were to come .'' 
 And how goodly lawes of loue geveth he .? to helpe 
 
 lo one another: and that a man fhuld not hate his 
 neyghboure in his harte, but loue him as him filf, 
 Leuitici .xix. And what a charge geueth he in euery 
 place over the poore and neadye: over the ftraunger 
 frendleffe ad wedowe ? And when he defyreth to ftiew 
 
 15 mercye, he reherfeth with all, the benefites of God done 
 to them at their neade, that they myght fe a caufe at 
 the left waye in God to ftiew mercye of very loue vnto 
 their neyghboures at their neade. Alfo there is no 
 lawe fo fimple in apperaunce thorow out all the fine 
 
 20 bokes of Mofes, but that there is a greate reafon of the 
 makynge therof if a man ferch diligently. As that a 
 man is forbyd to feth a kyd in hys mothers milke, mou- 
 eth vs unto compaffyon and to be pytyefull, As doth 
 alfo that a man fhall not offer the fyre or dame and 
 
 25 the yonge both in one daye Leuitici .xxii. For it myght 
 feme a cruell thing inj as moch as his mothers milke 
 is as it were his bloude, wherfore god will not haue him 
 fod therin: but will haue a man fhewe cur-.f .tefye vppon 
 the very beaftes: As in another place he commaund- 
 
 30 eth that we mofell not the mouth of the oxe that tread- 
 eth oute the corne (which maner of threfftiinge is vfed 
 in hote contrees) and that becaufe we fhuld moch rath- 
 er not grudge to be liberall and kynde vnto me that 
 do vs fervice. Or happlye God wold have no foch wan- 
 
 35 ton meate vfed among hys people. For the kyd of it 
 felf is noryfhinge and the gotes milke is reftauretyue, 
 and both together myght be to rancke and therfore 
 forbode or fome other like caufe therewas. 
 
 Of the ceremonies, facrifices and tabernacle with all his 
 
 40 glorye ad pompe vnderftode, that they were not per- 
 mitted only, but alfo commaunded of God to lead the pec- 
 
Wi C i65 
 
 pie in the (hadowes of Mofes ad night of the old teftamet, 
 vntyll the light of chrift ad daye of the new teftamet 
 were come: As childern are ledde in the phantafies 
 of youth, vntyll the difcretio of mas age become vppon 
 5 them. And all was done to kepe them from idolatrye. 
 The tabernacle was ordened to the entent they might 
 haue a place appoynted them to do their facrifices 
 openly in the fyght of the people ad namelye of the 
 preaftes which waytedthero: that it might be fene that 
 
 lo they dyd all thige accordig to gods word, and not 
 after the Idolatrie of their awne .?. imaginacion. And 
 the coftlineffe of the tabernacle ad the bewtye alfo 
 pertayned therevnto, that they fhuld fe nothinge fo bew- 
 tifuU amonge the hethe, but that they fhuld fe more 
 
 15 bewtifuU ad wonderful! at home: becaufe they fhuld 
 not be moued to folowe them. And in like maner the 
 diuers facions of the facrifices and ceremonies was to 
 occupye their mindes that they fhuld haue no luft to 
 folow the hethe: ad the multitude of them was, that they 
 
 20 fliuld haue fo moch to do in kepinge the that thei fhuld 
 haue no leyfure to ymagine other of their awne: yee and 
 that gods word might be by in all that they dyd, that 
 they might have their fayth and truft in God, which 
 he can not haue, that ether foloweth his awne inven- 
 
 25 cyons, or tradicyons of menes makynge wyth out Gods 
 word. 
 
 Finally God hath two teftamentes: the old and the 
 newe. The old teftament is thofe temporal! promyfes 
 which God made the childre of Ifrael of a good londe 
 
 30 and that he wolde defende them, and of welth and prof- 
 peryte ad of temporall bleffynges of whiche thou read- 
 eft ouer all the lawe of Mofes, But namelye Leuitici 
 xxvi. And Deuteronomii .xxviii. ad the avoydynge of 
 all threateninges and curfes off which thou readeft 
 
 35 lykewyfe everye where, but fpecyallye in the two 
 places aboue reherfed, .f. and the avoydinge of all 
 punyfhmet ordened for the tranfgreffers of the lawe. 
 
 And the old teftamet was bilt all to gether vppo 
 the kepinge of the lawe ad ceremonyes and was the 
 
 40 reward of kepinge of the in this liffe only, ad reached 
 no further than this liffe and this world, as thou 
 
i66 5IE s 
 
 readeft leu, xviii. a ma that doth them fhall live 
 there in which texte Paule reherfeth Rom. x. and Gala, 
 iii. That is, he that kepeth them fhall haue this lifife 
 glorioufe accordinge to all the promifes and bleffinges 
 5 of the lawe, and fhall avoyde both all temporall pun- 
 ifhment of the lawe, with al the threateninges and curf- 
 inges alfo. For nether the lawe, euen of the .x. comaund- 
 mentes nor yet the ceremonies iuftifyed in the herte 
 before god, or purifyed vnto the life to come. Infomoch 
 
 10 that Mofes at his deeth euen. xl. yere after the lawe and 
 ceremonyes were geuen complayneth fayenge : God hath 
 not geven you an hart to vnderftonde, nor eyes to fe, 
 nor eares to heare vnto this daye. As who fhuld faye, 
 god hath geuen you ceremonies, but ye know not the 
 
 IS vfe of them, and hath geue you a lawe, but hath not 
 wryten it in youre hartes. 
 
 Wherfore ferveth the lawe then, yf it geue vs no 
 power to do the lawe .' Paule anfwereth the, that it 
 was geuen to vtter fynne onlye and .?. to make it 
 
 20 appere. As a corofye is layde vnto an old fore, not 
 to heale it, but to flere it vp ad to make the dif- 
 eafe a lyve, that a ma might feale in what ioperdye 
 he is ad how nye deeth ad not aware, ad to make 
 awaye vnto the healinge playfter. Eue fo fayth 
 
 25 Paule Gala. iii. The lawe was geven becaufe of tranf- 
 grefTio (that is, to make the fynne alyve that it might 
 be felt and fene) untill the feed came vnto whom it 
 was promifed: that is to faie, vntil the childern of fayth 
 came, or vntill Chrift that feed in whom god promifed 
 
 30 Abraha that all nations of the worlde fhuld be bleffed, 
 came. That is, the lawe was geue to vtter fynne, 
 deeth damnatio and curfe, ad to dryve vnto Chrift in 
 who forgeueneffe, life, iuftifyinge ad bleffmges were 
 promifed, that we might fe fo greate love of god to vs 
 
 35 ward in chrift, that we heceforth ouercome with kind- 
 neffe might love againe ad of love kepe the comaud- 
 metes. So now he that goeth aboute to quiette his 
 cofciece ad to iuflifye him filf with the lawe, doth but 
 heale his wondes with freatlge corefyes. And he that 
 
 40 goeth aboute to purchafe grace with ceremonies, doth 
 but fucke the alepope to qwech his thirft, in as moch as 
 
EE K 167 
 
 the ceremonies were not geve to iuftifie the herte, but 
 to fignifie the iuftifiynge: and forgeueneffe that is in 
 chriftes bloude 
 
 .f . Of the ceremonies that they iustifie not, thou read- 
 
 5 eft. Ebrues .x. It is impoffible that fynne fhuld be done 
 awaye with the bloud of oxe ad gootes. And of the 
 law thou readeft .Gala. iii. Yf there had bene a lawe 
 geue that coude haue quykened or geue liffe, then had 
 rightuoufneffe or iuftifyinge come by the lawe in dede. 
 
 10 Now the lawe not only quyckeneth not the harte, but 
 alfo woundeth it with confcience of fynne and minif- 
 treth deeth ad damnacio vnto her: ii. Corin. iii. fo that 
 fhe muft neades dye ad be damned excepte Ihe finde 
 other remedy, fo farre it is of that fhe is iuftified or 
 
 15 holpe by the lawe. 
 
 The newe teftament is thofe euerlaftinge promyfes 
 which are made vs in chrift the Lorde thorow out all 
 the fcripture. And that teftamet is bylt on faith ad 
 not on workes. For it is not fayde of that teftament 
 
 20 he that worketh fhall lyue: But he that beleveth fhall 
 
 lyue, as thou readeft .loan. iii. God fo loued the worlde 
 
 that he gaue his only begote fonne that none which 
 
 beleue in hi fhuld perifh but haue euerlaftinge lyfe. 
 
 And when this teftament is preached and be- 
 
 25 leued, the fprete entreth the hart and quyckeneth 
 it, and geueth her lyfe and iuftifieth her. The fprete 
 alfo maketh the lawe a lyuely thing .T. in the herte, 
 fo that a man bringeth forth good workes of his awne 
 acord without compulfio of the lawe, without feare 
 
 30 of threateninges or curfmges: yee and with out all 
 maner refpecte or loue vnto any temporal pleafure, 
 But of the very power of the fprete receaved thorow 
 faith. As thou readeft .loan .i. He gaue them power 
 to be the fonnes of God in that they beleued on his 
 
 35 name. And of that power they worke: fo that he 
 which hath the fprete of chrift is now no moare a 
 childe: he nether learneth or worketh now any longer 
 for payne of the rodde or for feare of boogges or pleaf- 
 ure of apples. But doth althinges of his awne courage 
 
 40 As chrift fayeth .loan. vii. He that beleueth on me fhall 
 haue riuers of lyuinge water flowinge out of his belye. 
 
i68 n K 
 
 That is, All good workes ad all giftes of grace fpringe 
 out of him naturallye and by their awne accorde. 
 Thou neadeft not to wreft good workes out of him 
 as a ma wold wringe veriuce out of crabbes: Nay thei 
 
 5 flow naturally out of him as fpringes out off hilles or 
 rockes. 
 
 The newe teflament was euer, eue from the begin- 
 ning of the world. For there were alwaye promyfes 
 of Chrift to come by faith in whiche promyfes the 
 
 lo electe were then iuflified .IT. inwardly before God, as 
 outwardly before the world by kepynge of the lawe and 
 ceremonies 
 
 And in conclufyon as thou feyfb bleffmges or curf- 
 ynges folow the kepinge or breakynge of the lawe 
 
 15 of Mofes: eue fo naturally do bleffynges or curfynges 
 folow the breakyng or kepynge of the lawe of nature, 
 out of which fprige all oure temporall lawes. So that 
 whe the people kepe the temporall lawes of their lond 
 temporall profperite and all maner of foch teporall 
 
 20 bleffynge as thou readest of in Mofes doo accompanye 
 them and fall vppon them. 
 
 And contraryewyfe when they fynne vnpunifhed, ad 
 whe the rulars haue no refpecte vnto naturall equyte or 
 honeftye, the God fendeth his curfes amonge the, as hun- 
 
 25 gre, derth, moren banynge, peflilece, warre, oppreffyon 
 with ftraunge ad wonderfuU difeafes ad newekyndes 
 of miffortune ad evell lucke, 
 
 Yf any ma axe me, feyng that faith iuftifieth 
 me why I worke ? I anfwere loue copelleth me 
 
 30 For as loge as my foule fealeth what loue god hath 
 fhewed me in Chrifl:e, I can not but loue god agayne 
 ad his will ad comaudmetes and of loue worke them, 
 nor ca they feme hard vnto me. I thinke not my felf 
 better for my workynge, nor feke heue nor an hyer 
 
 35 place in heue becaufe of it. For a chrifte worketh to 
 ma- .f . ke his weake brother perfecter, ad not to feke 
 an hier place in heue. I copare not my filf vnto him 
 that worketh not: No, he that worketh not to daye 
 fhall haue grace to turne ad to worke tomorow, ad in 
 
 40 the meane ceafon I pytye hym ad praye for him. Yf 
 I had wrought the wil of god thefe thoufande yeres, ad

 * Note. Tyndale's rendering is suggested by the Latin excubabant, while Luther's 
 is an ingeniiius inferential rendering drawn from the Greek. The Hebrew mareah may 
 be rendered sight, or mirror; the latter is the rendering of the LXX , which, if correct, 
 imports that the laver of brass was made of the brazen mirrors, offered by the womea 
 This meaning b sustained also by the Targums and good critics.

 HE ceremonies which are defcribed in the 
 boke folowinge, were cheflye ordined off 
 God (as I fayde in the ende of the prologe 
 vppon Exodi) to occupye the mindes of 
 5 that people the Ifraelites, and to kepe them from fer- 
 vinge of God after the imaginacyon of their blinde zele 
 and good entent: that their confciences might be 
 ftablifhed and they fure that they pleafed God there- 
 in, which were impofllble, yf a man did of his awne 
 
 lo heed that which was not commaunded of God nor de- 
 
 peded of any appoyntement made betwene him and God. 
 
 Soch ceremonies were vnto them as an A. B. C. to 
 
 lerne to fpelle and read, and as a nurce to fede them 
 
 with milke and pappe, and to fpeake vnto them after 
 
 15 their awne capacyte and to lifpe the wordes vnto them 
 acording as the babes and childern of that age might 
 founde them agayne. For all that were before Chrift 
 were in the infancye and childhod of the worlde and 
 fawe that fonne which we fe openlye, but thorowe a 
 
 20 cloude and had but feble and .?. weake imaginacions 
 of Chrift, as childern haue of mennes deades, a fewe 
 prophetes excepte, whiche yet defcribed him vnto other 
 in facrifices and ceremonies, likeneffes, rydles, prou- 
 erbes, and darke and flraunge fpeakinge vntyll the full 
 
 25 age were come that God wold fhewe him openlye vnto 
 the whole worlde and delyuer them from their fhadowes 
 and cloudelight and the hethen out of their dead flepe 
 of flarcke blinde ignorancye. And as the fhadowe 
 vanifheth awaye at the comynge of the light, euen fo 
 
 30 doo the ceremonyes and facrifices at the comynge of 
 Chrift, and are henceforth no moare neceffarye then a 
 
290 51E % 
 
 token left in remembraunce of a bargayne is neceffary 
 whe the bargayne is fulfilled. And though they feme 
 playne childifh, yet they be not altogither fruteleffe: as 
 the popettes and .xx. maner of tryfles which mothers 
 5 permitte vnto their yonge childern be not all in vayne. 
 For all be it that foch phantafyes be permytted to 
 fatiffie the childers luftes, yet in that they are the 
 mothers gifte and be done in place and tyme at hir 
 comaundement, they kepe the childern in awe and 
 
 lo make them knowe the mother and alfo make them 
 more apte agenfte a more ftronger age to obaye in 
 thinges of greater ernefte. 
 
 .?. And moraouer though facrifices and ceremonies can 
 be no ground or fundacion to bild apon: that is, though 
 
 15 we can proue noughte with them: yet when we haue 
 once found oute Chrift and his mifleries, then we maye 
 borow figures, that is to faye allegoryes, fimilitudes or 
 examples to open Chrift and the fecrettes off God hyd 
 in Chrifl euen vnto the quycke, and to declare them 
 
 20 more lyuely and fenfebly with them than with all the 
 wordes of the worlde. For fimilitudes haue more ver- 
 tue and power with them than bare wordes, and lead 
 a mans wittes further in to the pithe and marye and 
 fpirituall vnderftondinge of the thinge, than all the 
 
 25 wordes that can be imagined. And though alfo that 
 all the ceremonies and facrifices haue as it were a 
 fterrelyght of Chrift, yet fome there be that haue as 
 it were the lighte of the brode daye a litle before the 
 fbnne rifmge, and expreffe him, and the circumftaunces 
 
 30 and vertue of his deth fo playnly as if we fhulde playe 
 his paffyon on a fcaffold or in a ftage play opelye before 
 the eyes of the people. As the fcape gote, the brafen 
 ferpent, the oxe burnt without the hofte, the paffeouer- 
 lambe &c. In fo moch that I am fully perfuaded and 
 
 35 can not but beleue that God had fhewed Mofes the 
 fecrettes of Chrift and the verey maner of his deth 
 be- .?. fore hande, and commaunded him to ordene 
 them for the confirmacion of oure faythes whiche are 
 now in the cleare daye lighte. And I beleue alfo that 
 
 40 the prophetes whiche folowed Mofes to confirme his 
 prophefyes and to mayntayne his doctrine vnto Chriftes 
 
M 291 
 
 cominge, were moued by foch thinges to ferche further 
 of Chriftes fecrettes. And though God wold not haue 
 the fecrettes of Chrift generallye knowne, faue vnto a 
 few familier frendes which in that infancye he made 
 5 of mans witte to helpe the other babes: yet as they 
 had a generall promyffe that one of the feed of Abraha 
 fhuld come and bleffe them, euen fo they had a gener- 
 all fayth that God wold by the fame man faue them, 
 though they wift not by what meanes as the very 
 
 10 apoftles when it was oft told them yet they coude 
 neuer comprehend it, till it was fulfilled in deade. 
 
 And beyonde all this their facrifices ad ceremonies 
 as farforth as the promyfes annexed vnto them ex- 
 tende, fo farforth they faued the and iuftified them 
 
 15 and ftode them in the fame fteade as oure facramentes 
 doo vs : not by the power of the facrifice or deade it felfe, 
 but by the vertue of the faith in the promyffe whiche 
 the facrifice or ceremonye preached and wherof it was 
 a token or fygne. For the ceremonies .?. and facri- 
 
 20 fices were lefte with them and commaunded them to 
 kepe the promyffe in remebraunce and to wake vpp 
 their fayth. As it is not ynough to fende manye on 
 errandes and to tell them what they fhall doo: but 
 they muft haue a remembraunce with them, and it be 
 
 25 but a ringe of a rufh aboute one of their fingers. And 
 as it is not ynough to make a bargayne with wordes 
 onlye, but we muft put thereto an oth and geue erneft 
 to confirme the faithe off the perfon with whom it is 
 made. And in like maner yf a man promyffe, what 
 
 30 foeuer trifull it be, it is not beleued excepte he hold 
 vppe his finger alfo, foch is the wekeneffe of the world. 
 And therfore chrift him filf vfed oftymes diuerfe cere- 
 monyes in curynge the feke, to fturre vpp their faith 
 with all. As for an enfample it was not the bloud of 
 
 35 the lambe that faued the in Egipte, when the angell 
 fmote the Egiptians: but the mercye of God and his 
 truth wherof that bloude was a token and remembraunce 
 to fturre vppe their faythes wyth all. For though God 
 make a promyffe, yet it faueth none finallye but them 
 
 40 that longe for it and praye God with a ftronge fayth 
 to fulfill it for his mercye and truthe onlye and knowl- 
 
292 m K 
 
 ege theyr vnworthyneffe. And euen fo oure facra- 
 men- .?. tes (yfthey be truelye miniftred) preach Chrift 
 vnto vs and leade oure faythes vnto Chrift, by whiche 
 faithe oure fynnes are done awaye and not by the 
 5 deade or worke of the facrament. For as it was impof- 
 fible that the bloude off calues fhuld put awaye fynne: 
 euen fo is it impoflible that the water of the ryuer fhuld 
 wafh oure hartes. Neuertheleffe the facramentes clefe 
 vs and abfolue vs of oure fynnes as the preaftes doo, 
 
 lo in preachinge of repentaunce and faith, for which caufe 
 ether other of them were ordened, but yf they preach 
 not, whether it be the preaft or the facrament, fo pro- 
 fitte they not. 
 
 And yf a man allege Chrift lohan in the .iii. chapter 
 
 15 fayeng: Excepte a man be borne agayne of water and 
 the holye gofte he can not fe the kingdome of God, 
 and will therfore that the holy goft is prefent in the 
 water and therfore the verye deade or worke doth put 
 awaye fynne: then I will fend him vnto Paule which 
 
 20 axeth his Galathians whether they receaued the holy 
 gofte by the deade of the lawe or by preachinge of 
 faith, and there concludeth that the holy goft accopany- 
 eth the preaching of faith, ad with the worde of faith, 
 entreth the harte ad purgeth it, which thou mayft 
 
 25 also vnderftonde by faynt Paule fayenge: ye are borne 
 .?. a new out of the water thorowe the worde. So 
 now if baptim preach me the waffhing in chriftes 
 bloude, fo doth the holy goft accompany it and that 
 deade of preachinge thorow fayth doth put awaye my 
 
 30 fynnes. For the holy goft is no dome god nor no god 
 that goeth a mummige. Yf a man faye of the facra- 
 ment of Chriftes bodye ad bloude that it is a facrifice 
 as well for the dead as for the quycke and therfore the 
 very deed it felf iuftifieth and putteth away fynne. I 
 
 35 anfwere that a facrifice is the fleynge off the body of a 
 beeft or a man: wherfore yf it be a facrifice, then is 
 chriftes body there flayne ad his bloude there ftied: 
 but that is not fo. And therfore it is properly no 
 facrifice but a facrament and a memoriall of that euer- 
 
 40 laftinge facrifice once for all which he offered apon the 
 croffe now apon a .xv. hundred yeres a go and preach- 
 
Wi 293 
 
 eth only vnto them that are alyue. And as for them 
 that be dead, it is as profitable vnto them as is a can- 
 dell in a lantrene without light vnto them that walke 
 by the waye in a darke night, and as the gofpell fong 
 5 in laten is vnto them that vnderftond none at all, and 
 as a fermon preached to him that is dead and hereth 
 it not. It preacheth vnto them that are a lyue only, 
 for they that be dead, yf they dyed in the faith which 
 that facrament preacheth, they .?. be faffe and are 
 
 10 paft all ieopardye. For when they were alyue their 
 hartes loued the lawe off God and therfore fynned not, 
 and were fory that their membres fynned and euer 
 moued to fynne, and therfore thorow faith it was for- 
 geuen them. And now their fynnefuU membres be 
 
 15 dead, fo that they can now fynne no more, wherfore 
 it is vnto them that be dead nether facrament nor 
 facrifice: But vnder the pretence of their foule health 
 it is a fervaunt vnto oure fpiritualtyes holy couetouf- 
 neffe and an extorcyonar and a bylder of Abayes, 
 
 20 Colleges, Chauntryes and cathedrall chirches with falfe 
 
 gote good, a pickpurfe, a pollar, ad a bottomleffe bagge. 
 
 Some man wold happely faye, that the prayers of 
 
 the maffe helpe moch: not the lyuinge only, but alfo 
 
 the dead. Of the hote fire of their farvent prayer 
 
 25 which confumeth fafter then all the world is able to 
 bringe facrifice, I haue fayde fufficiently in other places. 
 Howe be it it is not poffible to bringe me in beleffe 
 that the prayer which helpeth hir awne mafter vnto 
 no vertue, fhuld purcheffe me the forgeueneffe of my 
 
 30 fynnes. If I fawe that their prayers had obtayned 
 the grace to lyue foch a liffe as goddes worde did not 
 rebuke, then coud I fone be borne in hande that what 
 foeuer they axed off .f . God their prayers fhuld not 
 be in vayne. But now what good can he wyfh me in 
 
 35 his prayers that envieth me Chrifte the fode and the 
 liffe of my foule .'' What good can he wifh me whofe 
 herte cleaveth a fundre for payne when I am taught 
 to repent of my euell ? 
 
 Forthermore becaufe that fewe knowe the vfe of 
 
 40 the olde teftament, and the mofte parte thinke it 
 nothinge neceffarye but to make allegoryes, which 
 
294 3E K 
 
 they fayne euery ma after hys awne brayne at all wyle 
 adveture without any certayne rule: therfore (though I 
 haue fpoken off them in another place) yet left the 
 boke come not to all mennes handes that fhall reade 
 5 this, I will fpeake off them here alfo a worde or twayne. 
 We had nede to take hede euery where that we be not 
 begyled with falfe allegories, whether they be drawne out 
 of the new teftament, or the olde, ether out of any other 
 ftorye or off the creatures of the worlde, but namely in 
 
 lo this boke. Here a man had nede to put on all his 
 
 fpectacles and to arme him felfe agenft invifible fpretes. 
 
 Firft allegories proue nothinge (and by allegories vn- 
 
 derftonde examples or fimilitudes borowed of ftraunge 
 
 matters and of another thinge than that thou entreateft 
 
 15 off) As thou- .IT. gh circumcyfyon be a figure of bap- 
 
 tim, yet thou canft not proue baptim by circumcyfion. 
 
 For this argumet were verye feble, the Ifraelites 
 
 were circucyfed therfore we muft be baptifed. And 
 
 in like maner though the offering of Ifaac were a 
 
 20 figure or enfample off the refurrection, yet is this 
 argument nought, Abraham wold haue offered Ifaac, 
 but God delyuered him from deth, therfore we fhall 
 ryfe agayne, and fo forth in all other. 
 
 But the very vfe of allegories is to declare and open 
 
 25 a texte that it maye be the better perceaved and 
 vnderftonde. As when I haue a cleare texte of Chrift 
 and of the apoftles, that I muft be baptyfed, then I 
 maye borowe an enfample of circumcyfion to expreffe 
 the nature power and frute or effecte of baptim. For 
 
 30 as circumcyfion was vnto them a comen bagge fyg- 
 nifienge that they were all fodiars off God to warre 
 his warre and feparatinge them from all other nacyons 
 difobedient vnto God: euen fo baptim is oure comen 
 bagge and fure erneft and perpetuall memoriall that 
 
 35 we pertayne vnto Chrift and are feparated from all 
 that are not chriftes. And as circumcifion was a 
 token certifyenge them that they were receaved vnto 
 the fauoure off God and theyr .?. fynnes forgeven them: 
 euen fo baptim certefyeth vs that we are waffhed in 
 
 40 the bloude of chrift ad receaued to fauoure for his 
 fake, and as circumcyfion fignifyed vnto the the cut- 
 
IE E 395 
 
 tynge awaye of theyr awne luftes and fleynge of their 
 fre will, as they call it, to folowe the will of god even 
 fo baptim fignyfyeth vnto vs repentaunce and the mor- 
 tefyinge of oure vnruly mebres and body of fynne, to 
 
 5 walke in a newe lyffe and fo forth. 
 
 And likewyfe though that the favinge of Noe and 
 of them that were with him in the fhyppe, thorow 
 water, is a figure, that is to faye an enfample and like- 
 neffe of baptim, as Peter maketh it .1. Petri 3. yet I 
 
 10 can not proue baptim therwith, faue defcribe it only, 
 for as the fheyppe faued the in the water thorow faith, 
 in that they beleved god and as the other that wold 
 not beleve Noe peryfhed: even fo baptim faveth vs 
 thorow the worde of faith which it preacheth when 
 
 15 all the world of the vnbelevinge peryfh. And Paule 
 .1. Corin. 10. maketh the fee ad the cloude a figure of 
 baptim, by which and a thoufand mo I might declare it 
 but not proue it. Paule alfo in the fayde place maketh 
 the rocke out of which Mofes brought water vnto the 
 
 20 childerne of Ifrael a figure or enfample of chrift not to 
 proue chrift (for that were impofli- .?. ble) but to 
 defcribe chrift only: even as chrift hi filf lohanis .3 
 boroweth a fimilitude or figure of the brafen ferpent to 
 lead Nichodemus fro his erthy imaginacyon in to the 
 
 25 fpirituall vnderftondinge of chrift fayenge: As Mofes 
 lyfted vpp a ferpent in the wilderneffe, fo muft the 
 fonne of man be lifted vpp, that none that beleue in 
 him peryfti but haue everlaftinge liffe. by which fimil- 
 itude the vertue of chriftes deth is better defcribed 
 
 30 then thou coudeft declare it with a thoufande wordes. 
 for as thofe murmurars agenft god as fone as they 
 repented were healed of their deadly woundes thorow 
 lokynge on the brafen ferpent only without medicyne 
 or any other helpe, yee ad without any other reafon but 
 
 35 that god hath fayed it fhuld be fo, and not to murmoure 
 agayne, but to leue their murmuringe: even fo all that 
 repent ad beleue in chrift are faved from euerlaftinge 
 deth, of pure grace without and before their good 
 workes, and not to fynne agayne, but to fight agaynft 
 
 40 fynne ad henceforth to fynne no moare. 
 
 Even fo with the ceremonyes of this boke thou canft 
 
296 Wi K 
 
 prove nothinge faue defcribe and declare only the 
 puttyng awaye. of oure fynnes thorow the deth of 
 chrift. for chrift is Aaron and Aarons fonnes and 
 all that offer the facrifyce to purge fynne, And chrift 
 5 is all maner .f. offering that is offered: he is the oxe, 
 the fhepe, the gote, the kyd and lambe: he is the oxe 
 that is burnt without the hoft and the fcapegote that 
 caryed all the fynne of the people awaye in to the 
 wilderneffe. for as they purged the people fro their 
 
 10 worldly vnclenneffes thorow bloud of the facrifices, 
 even fo doth chrift purge vs from the vnclenneffes of 
 everlaftinge deth with his awne bloude. and as their 
 worldly fynnes coude no otherwyfe be purged then 
 by bloude of facrifyce, even fo can oure fynnes be no 
 
 15 otherwyfe forgeven then thorow the bloude of chrift. 
 All the deades in the world, faue the bloude of chrift, 
 can purchafe no forgeveneffe of fynnes: for oure deades 
 do but helpe oure neyghboure and mortefye the flefti 
 ad helpe that we fynne no moare, but and if we haue 
 
 20 fynned, it muft be frely forgeven thorow the bloude of 
 chrift or remayne ever. 
 
 And in lyke maner of the lepers thou canft prove 
 nothinge: thou canft never coniure out confeffio thenfe, 
 how be it thou haft an handfome example there to 
 
 25 open the bindinge and lowfmge of oure preaftes with 
 the kaye of goddes word, for as they made no man 
 a lepre even fo oures haue no power to commaunde 
 any man to be in fynne or to go to purgatory or 
 hell. And therefore (in as moch as bindinge .IT. and 
 
 30 lowfmge is one power) As thofe preaftes healed no 
 man, euen fo oures can not of their invifeble and 
 domme power dryve any mannes fynnes awaye or de- 
 lyver hym from hell or fayned purgatorye. how be it 
 if they preached gods word purely which is the au- 
 
 35 thorite that chrift gaue them, then they ftiuld binde 
 ad lowfe, kylle and make alyue agayne, make vncleane 
 and cleane agayne, and fend to hell ad fett thence 
 agayne, fo mighty is gods word, for if they preached 
 the lawe of god, they fhuld bind the confciences of fyn- 
 
 40 ners with the bondes of the paynes of hell and bringe 
 them vnto repetaunce. And then if they preached 
 
Wi % 297 
 
 them the mercye that is in chrifb, they fhuld 
 lowfe them and quiet their raginge confciences and 
 certefie them of the fauoure of god and that their 
 fy nnes be forge ven. 
 5 Fynallye beware of allegoryes, for there is not a 
 moare handfome or apte a thinge to be gile withall 
 then an allegorye, nor a more fotle and peftilent 
 thinge in the world to perfuade a falfe mater then 
 an allegorye. And contrary wyfe there is not a bet- 
 
 10 ter, vehementer or myghtyer thinge to make a man 
 vnderftond with all then an allegory. For allegoryes 
 make a man qwick witted and prynte wyf- .?. dome 
 in him and maketh it to abyde, where bare wordes go 
 but in at the one eare and out at the other. As this 
 
 15 with foch like fayenges: put fait to all youre facrifices, 
 in fleade of this fentence, do all youre deades with dif- 
 crecion, greteth and bitetjjj (yf it be vnderftond) moare 
 the playne wordes. And when I faye in fteade off thefe 
 wordes boft not youre felf of youre good deades, eate not 
 
 20 the bloude nor the fatt of youre facrifice, there is as great 
 differece betwene them as there is diftaunce betwene 
 heauen ad erth. For the liffe and beutye of all good 
 deades is of God and we are but the caren leane, we 
 are onlye the inftrument wherby god worketh only, 
 
 25 but the power is his. As god created Paule a newe, 
 poured hys wifdome in to him gaue him mighte and 
 promyfed him that his grace fhulde neuer fayle him 
 &c. and all without defervinges, excepte that nurter- 
 inge* the fayntes and makinge them curfe and rayle on 
 
 30 Chrifl be meritorious. Now as it is death 
 
 to eate the bloude or fatte of any facrifi- 
 ce, is it not (thinke ye) damnable 
 to robbe god of his honoure and 
 to glorifye my felf with his 
 
 35 honoure.?

 |N the feconde ad thirde boke they receaved 
 f lawe. And in this .iiii. they begynne to 
 worke and to practyfe. Of which practif- 
 ynge ye fe many good enfamples of vnbe- 
 5 lefife & what frewill doth, when fhe taketh in hand to 
 kepe the lawe of her awne power with out help of fayth 
 in the promyfes of god: how fhe leueth her mafters 
 carkeffes by the way in the wilderneffe and bringeth 
 them not in to the londe of reft. Why coude they not 
 lo entre in ? Becaufe of their vnbeleffe Hebre. iii. For 
 had they beleved, fo had they bene vnder grace, and 
 their old fynnes had bene forgeuen the, ad power fhulde 
 haue bene geue them to haue fulfilled the lawe thence- 
 forth & they fhuld haue bene kepte from all temptacios 
 15 that had bene to ftronge for them. For it is wrytten 
 lohan .i. He gaue them power to be the fonnes of 
 god, thorow belevynge in his name. Nowe to be the 
 fonne of god is to loue god and his commaundmentes 
 and to walke in his waye after the enfample of his 
 20 fonne Chrift. But thefe people toke vppon them to 
 worke without faith as thou feyfte in the .xiiii. of this 
 boke, where they wold fight and alfo did, without the 
 worde of promyfTe: eue when they were warned that 
 they fhuld not. And in f .xvi. agayne they wolde 
 25 pleafe god .?. with their holye faithleffe workes (for 
 where gods worde is not there can be no faith) but y 
 fyre of god confumed their holy workes, as it did Na- 
 dab and Abihu Leui. x. And fro thefe vnbeleuers turne 
 thyne eyes vnto the pharefyes which before the com- 
 30 ynge of Chrift in his flefh, had layde the fundacion of 
 frewill after the fame enfample. Wher on thei bilt 
 
386 m ^ . 
 
 holy workes after their awne imaginacion with out 
 faith of the worde, fo fervently that for the greate zele 
 of them they flew the kinge of all holy workes and the 
 lorde of frewill which only thorow his grace maketh 
 5 the will fre and lowfeth her from bondage of fynne, 
 and geueth her loue and luft vnto the lawes of god, 
 and power to fulfyll them. And fo thorowe their holye 
 workes done by the power of frewill, they excluded 
 them felues out of the holy reft of forgeueneffe of 
 
 lo fynnes by faith in the bloude of Chrift. 
 
 And then loke on oure ypocrites which in like 
 maner folowinge the doctryne of Ariftotle and other 
 hethen paganes, haue agenfte all the fcripture fett vpp 
 frewill agayne, vnto whofe power they afcribe the 
 
 15 kepynge of f comaundmetes of god. For they haue 
 fet vp wilfuU povertye of a nother maner then any is 
 comaunded of god. And the chaftite of matrimony 
 vtterlye defyed, they haue fet vp a nother wilfull 
 chaftite not required of god, whiche they fwere, vowe 
 
 20 & profeffe to geue god, .If. whether he will geue it 
 
 them or no, and compell all their difciples there vnto, 
 
 fayenge that it is in the power of euery mans frewill 
 
 to obferue it, contrarye to Christ and his apoftle Paule. 
 
 And the obedience of god and man excluded they 
 
 25 haue vowed a nother wilfull obedience condemned of 
 all the fcripture whiche they will yet geue God whether 
 he will or wyll not. 
 
 And what is become of their wilfull pouertye ? hath 
 it not robbed the whole worlde & brought all vnder 
 
 30 them .'' Can there be ether kynge or emperoure or of 
 what foeuer degre it be, excepte he will hold of them 
 ad be fworne vnto them to be their fervaunte, to go 
 and come at their lufte and to defende their quarels 
 be they falfe or true ? Their wilfull pouertye hath all 
 
 35 readye eaten vpp the whole worlde & is yet ftill gredyar 
 then euer it was in fo moche that ten worldes mo were 
 not ynough to fatiffye the hongre thereof. 
 
 Moreouer befydes dayly corruptinge of other mens 
 wyues and open whoredome, vnto what abominacions 
 
 40 to fylthye to be fpoke off hath their voluntarye chaflite 
 broughte them ? 
 
M % 387 
 
 And as for their wilfull obediece what is it but ^ 
 difobediece & the diffiauce both of all ^ lawes of god 
 & ma: in fo moch ;^ yf any price begine to execute any 
 law of ma vppo the, .f . they curfe him vnto the botom 
 5 of hell & proclayme him no right kinge & that his 
 lordes ought no lenger to obaye him, and interdite his 
 comen people as they were hethe turkes or faracenes. 
 And yf any man preache them gods lawe, him they 
 make an heretike and burne him to affhes. And in 
 
 10 fteade of gods lawe and mans, they haue fette vpp one 
 off their awne imaginacion which they obferue with 
 difpenfacions. 
 
 And yet in thefe workes they haue fo greate confi- 
 dence that they not onlye trufte to be faued therby, 
 
 15 and to be hyer in heauen then they that be faued 
 thorow chrift: but alfo promeffe to all other forgeue- 
 neffe of their fynnes thorow the merites of the fame. 
 Wherin they refl and teach other to reft alfo, ex- 
 cludynge the whole worlde from the refte of forgeueneffe 
 
 20 of fynnes thorowe faith in Chriftes bloude. 
 
 And now feynge that faith only letteth a ma in 
 uto reft & vnbeleffe excludeth hi, what is the caufe of 
 this vnbeleffe ? verely no fynne ^ the world feyth, but 
 a pope holyneffe & a rightuoufnes of theire awne im- 
 
 25 aginacion as Paule fayeth Roma. x. They be ignoraute 
 of y rightuoufnes wherwith god iustifieth & haue fet 
 vp a rightuoufnes of their awne makige thorow which 
 they be disobediet vnto y rightuoufnes of god. And 
 Chrift rebuketh not the pharifeys for groffe fynnes 
 
 30 whiche .?. the worlde fawe, but for thofe holye deades 
 whiche fo blered the eyes of the worlde that they were 
 take as goddes: eue for long prayers, for faftynge, for 
 tythige fo diligetly that they lefte not fo moch as their 
 herbes vntithed, for their clenneffe in waffhynge be- 
 
 35 fore meate and for wafhynge of cuppes, diflies, and all 
 maner veffels, for buyldinge the prophetes fepulchres, 
 and for kepinge the holy daye, and for turnynge the 
 hethen vnto the fayth, and for gevynge of almes. For 
 vnto foch holy deades they afcribed rightuoufnes and 
 
 40 therfore when the rightuoufneffe of god was preached 
 vnto them they coude not but perfecute it, the devel] 
 
was fo flronge in the. Which thinge Chrift well defcri- 
 beth Luce. xi. fayenge that after the devell is caft out 
 he cometh agayne and fyndeth his houfe fwepte and 
 made gaye and then taketh feuen worfe then him felfe 
 5 and dwelleth therein, and fo is the ende of that man 
 worfe then the beginnynge. That is, when they be a 
 litle clenfed from groffe fynnes whiche the worlde feyth 
 and then made gaye in their awne fyght with the 
 rightuoufnes of tradicions, then cometh feuen, that is 
 
 lo to faye the hole power of y devell, for feue with f 
 hebrues fignifieth a multitude without nubre & the 
 extremyte of a thinge & is a fpeach borowed (I fuppofe) 
 out of leuiticus where is fo oft mencion made of feue. 
 Where I wolde faye: I will punilh the .?. that all the 
 
 15 world fhall take an enfample of the, there the lewe 
 wold faye, I will circumcyfe the or baptife the .vii. tymes. 
 And fo here by feuen is ment all the devels of hell & 
 all y might & power of the devell. For vnto what 
 further blindneffe coude al the deuels in hell bringe 
 
 20 the, then to make them beleue f they were iustified 
 thorow their awne good workes. For whe they once 
 beleued f they were purged fro their fynnes & made 
 rightuouffe thorowe their awne holye workes, what 
 rowme was there lefte for y rightuoufnes f is in chriftes 
 
 25 bloudefhedinge .'' And therfore whe they be fallen in 
 to this blindneffe they ca not but hate & perfecute the 
 light. And the more cleare & evidently their deades 
 be rebuked y furiouffer & maliciouffer blind are thei 
 vntill they breake out in to ope blafphemye & fynnynge 
 
 30 agenft y holy gofb, which is y malicious perfecutige 
 of the cleare trouth fo manifeftly proued that they ca 
 not once hijfh agenft it. As the pharefyes perfecuted 
 Chrift becaufe he rebuked their holy deades. And 
 when he proued his doctrine with y fcripture & miracles, 
 
 35 yet though they coude not improue him nor reafon 
 agenft him they tought f the fcripture muft haue fome 
 other meaninge becaufe his interpretacion vndermyned 
 their fundacion & plucked vpp by the rootes the fectes 
 which they had plated, & they afcribed alfo his mira- 
 
 40 cles to the deuell. And in like .?. maner though oure 
 ypocrites can not denye but this is fcripture, yet be- 
 
Wi C 389 
 
 caufe there can be no nother fens gathered thereof, but 
 that ouerthroweth their byldynges, therfore they euer 
 thinke that it hath feme other meanynge than as the 
 wordes founde and that no man vnderftondeth it or 
 5 vnderftode it fens the tyme of the Apoflles. Or yf 
 they thynke that fome that wrote vppon it fens the 
 apoftles vnderftode it: they yet thynke that we in like 
 maner as we vnderftonde not the texte it felfe, fo we 
 vnderftande not the meanynge of the wordes of that 
 
 10 doctoure. 
 
 For when thou layeft the iuftifyinge of holy workes 
 and denyeft the iuftifyinge of fayth, howe canft thou 
 vnderftond faynt Paule, Peter, lohan and the Actes 
 of the apoftles or any fcripture at all, feynge the iufti- 
 
 15 fyinge of faith is almoft all that they entende to proue. 
 
 Fynally, concernynge vowes whereof thou readeft 
 
 chaptre .xxx. there maye be many queftyons, where- 
 
 unto I anfwere fhortly that we ought to put fait to 
 
 all oure ofiferynges: that is, we ought to miniftre 
 
 20 knowledge in all ovre workes and to do nothinge 
 whereof we coude not geue a reafon out $)ff gods 
 wordes. We be now in the daye light, and all the 
 fecretes of God and all his counfell and will is opened 
 vnto vs, and he f was promyfed fliuld come and 
 
 25 bleffe vs, is .?. come all readye and hath fhed his 
 bloud for vs and hath bleffed vs with all maner bleff- 
 ynges and hath obtayned all grace for vs, and in him 
 we haue all. Wherfore god henceforth will receaue 
 no moare facrifices of beeftes of vs as thou readeft 
 
 30 Hebre. x. Yf thou burne vnto god the bloud or fatt 
 of beeftes, to obtayne forgeueneffe of fynnes therby or 
 that god fhuld the better heare thy requeft, then thou 
 doeft wronge vnto the bloude of chrift, and chrift vnto 
 the is dead in vaine. For in him god hath promyfed 
 
 35 not forgeueneffe of fynnes only, but alfo what foeuer 
 we axe to kepe vs from fynne and temptacion with 
 all. And what yf thou burne frankencens vnto him, 
 what yf thou burne a cadle, what yf thou burne thi 
 chaftite or virginite vnto him for the fame purpoffe, 
 
 40 doeft thou not like rebuke vnto chriftes bloude .-' 
 
 Moreouer yf thou offer gold fyluer or any other good 
 
390 M K 
 
 for the fame entent, is there any difference ? And 
 euen fo if thou go in pilgrymage or faftift or goefl 
 wolward or fpricleft thy felfe with holy water or els 
 what foeuer dead it is, or obferueft what foeuer cere- 
 5 monye it be for like meanynge, then it is like abhom- 
 inacion. We muft therfore bringe the fait of the 
 knowledge of gods worde with all oure facrifices, or 
 els we fhall make no fwete fauoure vnto God thereof 
 Thou wilt axe me, fhall I vowe nothynge at all ? yes, 
 
 lo gods .f. commaundement whiche thou haft vowed in 
 thy baptyme. For what entent? verely for the loue 
 of Chrift whiche hath bought the with his bloude & 
 made the fonne & heyre of god with him, f thou 
 fhuldeft wayte on his will & comaundmentes and 
 
 15 puryfye thy mebres acordinge to y fame doctryne 
 that hath puryfyed thyne harte, for if the knowlege 
 of gods worde haue not puryfyed thyne harte, fo that 
 thou confenteft vnto the lawe of god that it is right- 
 uouffe & good and foroweft, that thy membres moue 
 
 20 the vnto the contrarye, fo haft thou no parte with 
 Chrifte. 
 
 For yf thou repent not of thy fynne, fo it is impof- 
 fible that thou ftiuldeft beleue that Chrifte had dely- 
 uered the from the daunger therof Yf thou beleue 
 
 25 not that Chrifte hathe delyuered the, fo is it impoffible 
 that thou fhuldeft loue goddes commaundementes. 
 Yf thou loue not the commaundementes, fo is Chriftes 
 fprete not in the whiche is the ernefte off forgeueneffe 
 of fynne and of faluacion. 
 
 30 For fcripture teacheth, firft repentaunce then fayth 
 in Chrift, that for his fake fynne is forgeuen to them 
 that repent: then good workes, whiche are nothynge 
 faue the commaundement of god only. And the com- 
 maundemetes are nothinge els faue the helpinge of 
 
 35 oure neyghboures at their neade & the tamyinge 
 of oure mebres that they myghte .?. be pure alfo as 
 the harte is pure thorow hate of vice and loue of 
 vertue as gods worde teacheth vs which workes muft 
 precede out of faith: f is, I muft do them for the 
 
 4D loue which I haue to god for that greate mercye 
 which he hath fliewed me in chrift, or els I do them 
 
M % 391 
 
 not in y fight of god. And that I faynte not in the 
 payne of the fleyinge of the fynne that is in my flefh, 
 myne helpe is the promeffe of the afliflence of the 
 power of god and f comforte of the rewarde to come 
 5 which rewarde I afcribe vnto the goodneffe, mercye 
 ad truth of the promifer that hath chofe me, called 
 me, taught me and geuen me the ernefl therof, ad 
 not vnto the merites of my doenges or foferiges. For 
 all that I do & foffre is but y waye to the rewarde ad 
 10 not the deferuinge thereof. As if the kinges grace fhuld 
 promeffe me to defend me at whome in myne awne 
 royalme yet the waye thyther is thorow the fee wher- 
 in I might happlye foffre no litle trouble. And yet 
 for all that, yf I might lyue in reft when I come 
 
 15 thither, I wold think & fo wold other faye, that my 
 paynes were well rewarded: which reward & benefyte 
 I wold not proudlye afcribe vnto the merites of my 
 paynes takynge by the waye: but vnto the goodneffe, 
 mercyfulneffe and conftaunt truth of the kinges grace 
 
 20 whofe gifte it is and to whome y prayfe ad thanke 
 thereof belongeth of duetye and right. So now a 
 rewarde is a gift geue .?. frelye of the goodneffe of 
 the geuer and not of the deferuinges of the receauer. 
 Thus it appeareth, that if I vowe what foeuer it be, 
 
 25 for any other purpoffe then to tame my membres and 
 to be an enfample of vertue ad edefyenge vnto my 
 neyghboure, my facrifice is vnfauery and cleane with- 
 out fait and my lape without oyle and I one of the 
 folyfh virginis and fhalbe fhutt out from the feafl of 
 
 30 the bruydegrome when I thinke my felf moft fure to 
 entre in. 
 
 Yf I vowe voluntary pouerty, this mufl be my 
 purpoffe, that I will be content with a competent 
 lyuinge which cometh vnto me ether by fucceffion of 
 
 35 myne elders or which I gette truly with my laboure 
 in miniftringe and doynge feruice vnto the comen 
 welth in one office or in a nother or in one occupatyon 
 or other, becaufe that riches and honoure fhall not 
 corrupte my mynde and drawe myne harte from god, 
 
 40 and to geue an enfample of vertue and edefyinge vnto 
 other and f my neyghboure may haue a lyuinge by

 y enfample of oure fpiritualtye) robbinge the .f . of 
 their faythes and god of his honoure turnynge vnto 
 myne ypocrifye that confidence, which fhuld be geue 
 
 lo vnto y promyfes of god only, am I not a wilye fox & 
 a raueninge wolfe in a labes fkynne & a paynted 
 fepulchre fayre without ad filthye with in? In like 
 maner though I feke no worldlye promocyon therebye, 
 yet if I do it to be iufbifyed therwith ad to gett an hyer 
 
 15 place in heauen, thinkynge that I do it of myne awne 
 naturall ftrength & of the naturall power of my frewill 
 & f euery man hath might euen fo to doo and that 
 they do it not is their faute & negligece and fo with 
 the proude pharefye in coparyfon of my felf defpife 
 
 20 the fmfuU publicanes: what other thinge do I then 
 eate y bloude & fatt of my facrifice devowringe f my 
 felf which fhuld be offered vnto god alone and his 
 chrifte. And fhortly what foeuer a man doeth of his 
 naturall giftes, of his naturall witte, wifdom, vnder- 
 
 25 ftondinge, reafon, will, & good entent before he be 
 otherwyfe & cleane cotrary taught of goddes fprete 
 & haue receaued other witt and vnderftondinge, rea- 
 fon ad will, is flefh, worldlye and wrought i abomi- 
 nable blidneffe, with which a man can but feke him 
 
 30 felf, his awne profyte, glory & honoure, eue in very 
 fpirituall matters. As if I were alone in a wilderneffe 
 where no man were to feke profite or prayfe of yet 
 if I wold feke heug of god there, I coude of myne 
 awne naturall gyftes feke it no no- .?. ther wayes then 
 
 35 for the merites and deferuinges of my good workes 
 and to entre therin by a nother waye then by y dore 
 chrift, which were very thefte, for chrifl is lord ouer 
 all and what fo euer any man wil haue of god, he muft 
 haue it geuen him frelye for chriftes fake. Now to 
 
 40 haue heauen for myne awne deferuinge, is myne awne 
 prayfe and not chrifles. For I can not haue it by 
 
M E 393 
 
 fauoure & grace in chrift and by myne awne merites 
 alfo: For fregeuinge and deferuinge can not ftod to 
 gether. 
 
 Yf thou wilt vowe of thy goodes vnto god thou 
 5 muft put fait vnto this facrifice: that is thou muft min- 
 iftre knowlege in this deade as Peter teacheth. 2 pet. i. 
 Thou muft put oyle of gods worde in thy lape & do it 
 accordinge to knowlege, if thou wayte for the comynge 
 of the bridegrome to entre in with him in to his reft, 
 lo Thou wilt hage it aboute the image to moue men to 
 deuocyon. Deuocyon is a feruent loue vnto gods co- 
 maudmentes and a defyre to be with god and with his 
 euerlaftinge promyfes. Now fhall the fight of foch 
 riches as are fhewed at faynt thomas fhryne or at wal- 
 15 fingham moue a man to loue the comaundmetes of god 
 better and to defyre to be loofed from his flefh and to 
 be with god, or fhall it not rather make his poore herte 
 figh because he hath no foch at home and to wyfh 
 parte of it in a nother place ? 
 20 .?. The preaft fhall haue it in gods ftead. Shall the 
 preaft haue it .-' Yf the preaft be bought with chriftes 
 bloude, the he is chriftes feruaute & not his awne & 
 ought therefore to feade chriftes flocke with chriftes 
 doctryne & to miniftre chriftes facrametes vnto the 
 25 purely for very loue & not for felthy lucres fake or to 
 be lord ouer the as Peter teacheth i pet. v. & paule 
 Actes.xx. Befydethis chrift is oures ad is a gifte geuen 
 vs, & we be heyres of chrift & of all that is chriftes 
 Wherfore the preaftes doctryne is oures & we heires 
 30 of it, it is f fode of oure foules. Therfore if he miniftre 
 it not truly ad frely vnto vs with out fellinge, he is a 
 thefe & a foule murtherar: ad euen fo is he if he take 
 vppon him to fede vs & haue not wherewith. And for 
 a like conclufyon becaufe we alfo with all that we haue 
 35 be chriftes, therfore is the preaft heyre with vs alfo of 
 all that we haue receaued of god, wherfore in as moch 
 as y preaft wayteth on f worde of god ad is oure fer- 
 uaunte therin, therfore of right we are his dettars & 
 owe him a fufficyent lyuinge of oure goodes, ad euen 
 40 therto a wiffe of oure doughters owe we vnto him if he 
 requyre her. And now when we haue appoynted him 
 
394 m K 
 
 a fufficiet liuinge, whether in tythes rentes or in yere- 
 lye wages, he ought to be cotent & to require no more 
 nor yet to receaue any more, but to be an enfample 
 of foberneffe & of difpyfmge worldly thinges vnto the 
 5 en- .F. fample of his paryfheonars. 
 
 Wilt thou vowe to offre vnto f poore people ? that 
 is pleafaunte in y fight of god, for they be lefte here 
 to do oure almes apo in chrifbes ftead & they be f 
 right heyres of all oure abundauce & ouerplus. More- 
 
 lo ouer we muft haue a fcole to teach goddes worde i 
 (though it neded not to be fo coftely) & therfore it is 
 lawfuU to vowe vnto the buyldynge or mayntenauce 
 therof & vnto helpinge of all good werkes. And we 
 ought to vowe to paye cuftome, tolle, rent & all maner 
 
 15 dutyes and what foeuer we owe: for that is gods 
 commaundmet. 
 
 Yf thou wilt vowe pilgrimage, thou muft put fait 
 therto in like maner if it fhalbe accepted, if thou vowe 
 to go ad vifet the poore or to here gods worde or 
 
 20 what foeuer edifieth thy foule vnto loue & good worke 
 after knowlege or what foeuer god comaudeth, it is 
 well done and a facrifyce that fauoreth well ye will 
 happlye faye, that ye will go to this or f place becaufe 
 god hath chofen one place more then a nother and

 hath created a remedye without fynne ad geuen ther-

 Let vs not be wyfer then god with oure ymagina-

 hath promyfed to flake his hongre .?. with out meate

 Wherfore other let all thinges byde fre as wife god 
 hath created them & nother vowe that which god 
 requyreth not nor forfwere that which god permitteth

 nether cheryte toward thy neighboure nor f authorite 
 of the vnder whofe power thou arte dryue y vnto the

 The purpoffe of thy vowe muft be falted alfo with 
 f wifdom of god. Thou mayeft not vowe to be iuflefyed 
 therbye or to make fatiffaction for thy fynnes or to 
 Wynne heaue nor an hyer place: for then dideft thou 
 
 20 wroge vnto the bloude of chrift & thy vowe were

 Thy vowe muft be only vnto y furtheraunce of y com-

 but y taminge of thy mebres & the feruice of thy neygh-

 And eue fo muft thou vowe abftinece of meates &

 vowe nether of them vnto y fleynge of thy bodye. As 
 Paule comaudeth tymothe to drincke wyne & no moare

 that it were good for vs to folow their enfample. How 
 be it though I vowe & fwere ad thynke on none ex-

 or if my neyghbours houfe be a fyre at the fame houre

 euen vnto the childern of Ammon. For the borders

 toke all thefe cities & dwelt in all y cities of f Amor-

A PRO 
 
 LOGE IN TO THE 
 
 fyfte boke of Mofes, cal 
 led Deuteronomye. 
 
m c 
 
 HIS is a boke worthye to be rede in daye 
 and nyghte and neuer to be oute of handes. 
 For it is the moft excellent of all the bokes 
 of Mofes It is eafye alfo and light and a 
 5 very pure gofpell that is to wete, a preachinge of fayth 
 and loue: deducinge the loue to God oute of faith, and 
 the loue of a mans neyghboure oute of the loue of God. 
 Herin alfo thou mayft lerne right meditacion or con- 
 templacyon, which is nothing els faue the callynge to 
 
 lo mynde and a repeatyng in the hert of the glorioufe ad 
 wonderfuU deades of God, and of his terreble handel- 
 inge off his enemyes and mercyfuU entreating of them 
 that come when he calleth them which thinge this 
 boke doth and almofl nothinge els. 
 
 15 In the .iiii. firft chaptres he reherfeth the benefites 
 of God done vnto the, to prouoke the to loue, ad his 
 mightie deades done aboue all naturall power ad be- 
 yonde all naturall capacite of faith, that they might 
 beleue God ad truft in him and in his flrength. And 
 
 20 thyrdlye he reherfeth the firce plages of God vppon 
 hys enemyes and on them which thorowe impacientie 
 and vnbeleffe fell from him: partelye to tame .IT. and 
 abate the appetites of the flefhe whiche alwaye fyght 
 agenft the fpirite, and partely to bridle the wilde 
 
 25 raginge luftes of the in whom was no fpirite: that 
 though they had no power to do good of loue, yet at 
 the left waye they fhulde abfteyne from outwarde 
 euell for feare of wrath and cruell vengeaunce whiche ^ 
 
 fhuld fall vppon them and fhortly finde them oute, yf jM 
 
 30 they caft vpp goddes nurter and runne at ryotte be- ^^ 
 
 yonde his lawes and ordinaunces. Moreouer he chargeth 
 
5i8 WL % 
 
 them to put nought to nor take oughte awaye from 
 goddes wordes, but to be diligent onlye to kepe them 
 in remebraunce and in the harte and to teache theire 
 childern, for feare of forgettinge. And to beware ether 
 5 of makynge imagerye or of bowinge them felues vnto 
 images fayenge: Ye fawe no image when God fpake 
 vnto you, but herde avoyce onlye and that voyce 
 kepe and therunto cleaue, for it is youre liffe and it 
 fhall faue you. And finally yf (as the frayltie of al 
 
 lo flefh is) they fhall haue fallen from God and he haue 
 brought them in to treble, aduerfyte, ad cobraunce ad 
 all neceflite: yet yf they repent and turne, he promyfeth 
 them that God fhall remebre his mercie ad receave 
 the to grace agayne 
 
 15 In the fifte he repeteth the .x. commaudmetes and 
 that they myght fe a caufe to do them .?. of loue, he 
 biddeth them remembre that they were bounde in 
 Egipte and how God delyuered them with a mightie 
 hande and a ftretchedout arme, to ferue him and to kepe 
 
 20 his commaundmentes: as Paule fayeth that we are 
 bought with Chriftes bloude ad therfore are his fer- 
 vauntes ad not oure awne, ad ought to feke his will 
 and honoure onlye ad to loue ad ferue one another for 
 his fake. 
 
 25 In the fixte he fetteth out the fountayne off all com- 
 maundmentes: that is, that they beleue how that there 
 is but one God that doeth all, and therfore ought onlye 
 to be loued with all the herte, all the foule and all the 
 myghte. For loue only is the fulfillinge of the com- 
 
 30 maundementes, as Paule alfo fayeth vnto, the Romaynes 
 and Galathians likewife. He warneth the alfo that 
 they forgett not the commaundmentes, but teach the 
 their childern ad to fhew their childern alfo how God 
 delyuered the out of the bondage of the Egiptias to 
 
 35 ferue him and his commaundmetes, that the childern 
 myght fe a caufe to worke of loue, likewife. 
 
 The feueth is all together of faith: he remoueth all 
 occafios that might withdrawe them from the fayth, 
 and pulleth them alfo from all confidence in them 
 
 40 felues, and fturreth the vp to truft in god boldlye and 
 onlye. 
 
51E C 5i9 
 
 .?. Of the eyght chaptre thou feyft how that the 
 caufe of all temptation is, that a ma might fe his awne 
 herte. For whe I am brought in to that extremite 
 that I muft ether fuffre or forfake god, then I fhall 
 5 feale how moch I beleue and truft in him, and how 
 moch I loue him. In Hke maner, yf my brother 
 do me euel for my good, then yf I loue him when 
 there is no caufe in him, I fe that my loue was of god, 
 ad eue fo yf I then hate him, I feale and perceave that 
 
 lo my loue was but wordly. And finallye he fturreth the 
 to the fayth ad loue of god, ad dryveth them fro all 
 confidence of theire awne felves. 
 
 In the nynth alfo he moueth the vnto faith and to 
 put their trufl in god, and draweth the from confidence 
 
 15 of them felues by rehearfinge all the wekedneffe which 
 they had wrought from the firft daye he knew them 
 vnto that fame daye. And in the end he repeteth how 
 he coniured god in horeb ad ouercame him with prayer, 
 where thou mayeft lerne the right maner to praye. 
 
 20 In the tenth he rekeneth vpp the pith of all lawes 
 and the kepinge of the lawe in the harte: which is to 
 feare god loue him ad ferue him with all their harte 
 foule and mighte ad kepe his commaundmentes of 
 loue. And he fheweth a reafon why they fhuld that 
 
 25 doo: euen .?. becaufe god is lord of heuen and erth ad 
 hath alfo done all for them of his awne goodneffe with- 
 out their defervinge. And then out of the loue vnto 
 god he bringeth the love vnto a mans neyghboure 
 fayenge: god is lorde aboue all lordes and loveth all 
 
 30 his feruauntes indifferently, as well the poore and feble 
 and the ftraunger, as the rich and mightye, ad therfore 
 wil that we loue the poore and the ftraunger. And 
 he addeth a caufe, for ye were ftraungers and god deliu- 
 ered you and hath brought you vnto a londe where 
 
 35 ye be at home. Loue the ftraunger therfore for his fake. 
 In the .xi. he exhorteth them to loue and feare god, 
 and reherfeth the terrible dedes off god vppon his en- 
 emies, and on them that rebelled agenft him. And 
 he teftifyeth vnto the both what will folow yf they 
 
 40 loue and feare god, and whate alfo yf they defpife him 
 ad breake his commaundment. 
 
52b aE K 
 
 In the .xii. he comaundeth to put out of the waye 
 all that might be an occafion to hurte the fayth and 
 forbiddeth to do ought after their awne mindes, or to 
 altre the worde of god. 
 5 In the .xiii. he forbiddeth to herken vnto ought faue 
 vnto gods worde: no though he which coufeleth c6- 
 trarye fhuld come with miracles, as Paule doth vnto 
 the Galathians. 
 
 .?. In the .xiiii. the beeftes are forbidde, partely for the 
 
 lo vnclenneffe of the, ad partely to caufe hate betwene the 
 hethe ad the, that they haue no couerfatio to gether, in 
 that one abhorreth whatt the other eateth. Vnto this 
 XV. chaptre all pertayne vnto faith and loue cheflye. 
 And in this .xv. he beginneth to entreate moare fpeciallye 
 
 15 of thinges pertayninge vnto the comen welth ad equite 
 ad exhorteth vnto the loue of a mans neyghboure. And 
 in the .xvi. amonge other he forgetteth not the fame. 
 And in the .xvii. he entreateth of right and equite chefly, 
 in fo moche that when he loketh vnto faithe and vnto 
 
 20 the, punyfhment of ydolatres, he yet endeth in a lawe 
 of loue and equite: forbiddinge to condemne any man 
 vnder leffe *then twoo witneffes at the left and com- 
 maundeth to bringe the trefpacers vnto the open gate 
 of the citye where all men goo in and out, that all 
 
 25 men might heare the caufe and fe that he had but 
 right. But the pope hath founde a better waye, even 
 to appoffe him with out any accufare ad that fecretlye, 
 that no man knowe whether he haue right or no, ether 
 hare his articles or anfwere: for feare left the people 
 
 30 fhuld ferch whether it were fo or no. 
 
 In the .xviii. he forbiddeth all falfe and develifli 
 craftes that hurte true fayth. Moreouer .IT. becaufe 
 the people coude not heare the voyce of the lawe fpoke 
 to the in fire, he promifeth the a nother prophete to 
 
 35 brige the better tydinges which was fpoke of chrift oure 
 fauiour. 
 
 The .xix. ad fo forth vnto the ende of the .xxvii. is 
 almoft al to gether of love vnto oure neyboures ad of 
 lawes of equite ad honeftye with now ad then a re- 
 
 40 fpecte vnto fayth. 
 
 * The original has: them. 
 
W E 521 
 
 The .xxviii. is a terreble chaptre ad to be trebled 
 
 at: A chrifte mans harte might wel bleed for forow 
 
 at the readinge of it, for feare of the wrath that is like 
 
 to come vpo us accordinge vnto all the curfes which 
 
 5 thou there readeft. 
 
 For acordinge vnto thefe curfes hath god delt with 
 all nacions, after they were falle in to the abhomina- 
 cions of blindneffe. 
 
 The .xxix. is like terreble with a godly leffo in 
 lo the ende that we fhuld leue ferchige of goddes fe- 
 crettes ad geue diligece to walke accordinge to that 
 he hath opened vnto us. For the kepige of the co- 
 maudmetes of god teacheth wifdome as thou maydfte 
 fe in the fame chapter, where Mofes fayeth, kepe the 
 15 comaudmetes, that ye maye vnderftod whate ye ought 
 to do. But to ferch goddes fecretes blideth a ma as 
 it is wel proved by the fwarmes of oure fophifters, 
 whofe wife bokes are now whe we loke i the fcripture, 
 foude but ful of folifhneffe.
