The Law and the Gospel are two keys. The Law is the key that shutteth up all men under condemnation, and the Gospel is the key which opens the door and lets them out.

More quotes by William Tyndale
The Church is the one institution that exists for those outside it.
William Tyndale
We had better be without God's laws than the Pope's.” To which Tyndale passionately responded: “I defy the Pope, and all his laws and if God spares my life, ere many years, I will cause the boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than thou dost!
William Tyndale
I call God to record against the day we shall appear before our Lord Jesus, that I never altered one syllable of God's Word against my conscience, nor would do this day, if all that is in earth, whether it be honor, pleasure, or riches, might be given me.
William Tyndale
Christ desires his mysteries to be published abroad as widely as possible. I would that [the Gospels and the epistles of Paul] were translated into all languages, of all Christian people, and that they might be read and known.
William Tyndale
I will cause a boy who drives a plow to know more of the scriptures than the pope.
William Tyndale
Many things there be in the scripture, which have a carnal fulfilling, even there where they be spoken or done and yet have another spiritual signification, to be fulfilled long after in Christ and his kingdom, and yet never known till the thing be done.
William Tyndale
Christ made the bread the sacrament of his body only: wherefore as the bread is no similitude of his blood, so am I not bound or ought to affirm, that his blood is there present.
William Tyndale
It is impossible to preach Christ, except thou preach against antichrist.
William Tyndale
Neither was there any heresy, or diversity of opinion, or disputing about the matter, till the pope had gathered a council to confirm this transubstantiation: wherefore it is most likely that this opinion came up by them of latter days.
William Tyndale
I know divers, and divers men know me, which love me as I do them: yet if I should pray them, when I meet them in the street openly, they would abhor me but if I pray them where they be appointed to meet me secretly, they will hear me and accept my request.
William Tyndale
We do not wish to abolish teaching and to make every man his own master, but if the curates will not teach the gospel, the layman must have the Scripture, and read it for himself, taking God for his teacher.
William Tyndale
Here is also to be noted, that the cause of the institution was to be a memorial, to testify that Christ's body was given, and his blood shed for us.
William Tyndale
To see how Christ was prophesied and described therein, consider and mark, how that the kid or lamb must be with out spot or blemish and so was Christ only of all mankind, in the sight of God and of his law.
William Tyndale
Let every man of whatsoever craft or occupation he be of... serve his brethren.
William Tyndale
All that I do and suffer is but the way to the reward, and not the deserving thereof.
William Tyndale
Evangelion (that we call the gospel) is a Greek word and signifieth good, merry, glad and joyful tidings, that maketh a man's heart glad and maketh him sing, dance, and leap for joy.
William Tyndale
I perceived how that it was impossible to establish the lay people in any truth except the Scripture were plainly laid before their eyes in their mother tongue.
William Tyndale
And as the circumcised in the flesh, and not in the heart, have no part in God's good promises even so they that be baptized in the flesh, and not in heart, have no part in Christ's blood.
William Tyndale
No more doth it hurt to say that the body and blood are not in the sacrament.
William Tyndale
For we love not God first, to compel him to love again but he loved us first, and gave his Son for us, that we might see love and love again, saith St John in his first epistle.
William Tyndale
