My overcoat is worn out my shirts also are worn out. And I ask to be allowed to have a lamp in the evening it is indeed wearisome sitting alone in the dark.

More quotes by William Tyndale

Image
The Scriptures sprang out of God.
William Tyndale
Image
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.
William Tyndale
Image
The morality of clean blood ought to be one of the first lessons taught us by our pastors and teachers. The physical is the substratum of the spiritual and this fact ought to give to the food we eat, and the air we breathe, a transcendent significance.
William Tyndale
Image
Let every man of whatsoever craft or occupation he be of... serve his brethren.
William Tyndale
Image
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

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!

Image
Marriage was ordained for a remedy and to increase the world and for the man to help the woman and the woman the man, with all love and kindness.
William Tyndale
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It is impossible to preach Christ, except thou preach against antichrist.
William Tyndale
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There is no work better than another to please God: to pour water, to wash dishes, to be a souter [cobbler], or an apostle, all is one to wash dishes and to preach is all one, as touching tho deed, to please God.
William Tyndale
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Christ is with us until the world's end. Let his little flock be bold therefore.
William Tyndale
Image
For if God be on our side, what matter maketh it who be against us, be they bishops, cardinals, popes, or whatsoever names they will?
William Tyndale
Image
Do you know who taught the eagles to find their prey? Well, that same God teaches His hungry children to find their Father in His Word.
