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

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.

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.
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
The Scriptures sprang out of God.
William Tyndale
Image
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
Image
All that I do and suffer is but the way to the reward, and not the deserving thereof.
William Tyndale

It is impossible to preach Christ, except thou preach against antichrist.
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

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.
