The Church was declared independent of Rome. The Bible was translated into English. So also were many portions of the Church service. Negotiations were opened with the German Reformers, especially with Melancthon, whom Henry and Cranmer besought in vain to come over and help them." Melancthon seems to have known Henry’s character too well to wish to become his counsellor. See Laurence, Bampton Lectures, p. 198, third edition, London, 1838; and Dr. Cardwell’s Preface to the two Liturgies of King Edward VI.

(a printed copy of this was found in Alnwick Castle in 2015, dated 1523). With its embrace of piety over pomp and its praise for Scripture as a guide to an ethical life, this moral manual would influence Tyndale more than any book save the Bible. The Paraclesis (preface to Erasmus’ Greek NT, quoted above) also left a deep impression. Struck by Erasmus’ call for the production of vernacular Bibles so that ordinary Christians could read them, Tyndale decided to produce such a text in English.” from Michael Massing, Fatal Discord, 689.tchittomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603445266088083067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11511673.post-1128640176477425732005-10-06T19:09:00.000-04:002005-10-06T19:09:00.000-04:00There's also a nice recent biography, entitled Wil...There's also a nice recent biography, entitled <I>William Tyndale: If God Spare My Life</I>.Ben Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800127501735910966noreply@blogger.com
