The Martyr - William Tyndale - is worth knowing. |
It
was not long after this, that in disputing with a divine reputed to be quite
learned, Tyndale utterly confounded him with certain texts of Scripture; upon
which the irritated papist exclaimed, — “It were better for us to be without
God’s laws, than without the Pope’s!” This was a little too much for Tyndale,
who boldly replied, “I defy the Pope, and all his laws; and if God spare my
life, ere many years, I will cause a boy that driveth the plow to know more of
the Scripture than you do!” A noble boast; and nobly redeemed at the cost of
his life!
