To have a faith, therefore, or a trust in anything, where God hath not promised, is plain idolatry, and a worshipping of thine own imagination instead of God.
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
Let every man of whatsoever craft or occupation he be of... serve his brethren.
William Tyndale

William Tyndale
Be cold, sober, wise, circumspect. Keep yourself low by the ground avoiding high questions. Expound the Law truly and open the veil of Moses to condemn all flesh and prove all men sinners, and set at broach the mercy of our Lord Jesus, and let wounded consciences drink of Him.
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
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
they go and set up free-will with the heathen philosophers and say that a man's free will is the cause why God chooseth and not another, contrary to all scriptures.
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
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
In the old covenants the people were sprinkled with blood of calves without, in their bodies, to bind them to keep the law else we were bound to just damnation, for the breaking of it.
William Tyndale
All that I do and suffer is but the way to the reward, and not the deserving thereof.
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
God's goodness is the root of all goodness and our goodness, if we have any, springs out of His goodness.
