The Scriptures sprang out of God.
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

No more doth it hurt to say that the body and blood are not in the sacrament.
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
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

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.
