“If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy who drives a plough to know more of the scriptures than you do.”
William Tyndale

“All that I do and suffer is but the way to the reward, and not the deserving thereof.”
William Tyndale

“The preaching of God's word is hateful and contrary unto them. Why? For it is impossible to preach Christ, except thou preach against antichrist; that is to say, them which with their false doctrine and violence of sword enforce to quench the true doctrine of Christ.”
William Tyndale
