Tyndale's death was tragicallv dra-
matte. In May. 1885. he was treach-
erouslY betrayed when he fell victim
of well laid scheme which enticed
him out of his house in Antwerp.
Once beyond the limits Of the city he
was seized by the imperial authorities
and carried to prison in Nilvorde Cas-
tie, near Brussels. There he was con
fined until October G. 1886. when he
was strangled TO death and his body
burnt at the stake. His last words
are said to have been. Lord. open

Seven separate editions of Tyndales
New Testament were published during
the year of his martyrdom. 1t is com
mon knowledge now that the Bible
completely overtops all the best
Sellers and that it has been in this
class from the start is evident when ii
is pointed out that over 40 editions OF
Tyndale's works are known TO have
been issued between 1925 and 1866,
when the last dated edition was print
ed. Because many of these editions
are known to US only through one
copy or fragment of copy, it is high

went to Cologne, where the first copies
were struck off. The text was divided
into chapters but not verses. and con-
tanned references. marginal notes and
a prologue. But by the time the work
had progressed as far as the Gospel
of st. Mark the authorities learned
through a spy of the enterprise. Tyn-
dale was forced to pack up his incom-
plete books and quickly leave the city
In October, 1925. Tyndale arrived at
Worms with his rescued papers. There
he placed the manuscripts in the
hands of one Peter Schoeffer. a
printer, whose father had helped make
typesetting a success in Mainz over
half a century before. The Worms
edition dropped the prologue and notes
and was. of course. anonymous.
About 5000 copies were printed at
that time by Schoeffer. most of which
found their way into England in bales
of freight.
hUR1NG the next three years six
= editions of Tyndale's New Testa-
ment, numbering about $4,000 vol
umes, were issued. yet so thorough
were the ecclesiastical authorities in
destroying them that only one copy
of the incomplete Cologne edition and
two copies of those published at
Worms have survived.
The Cologne fragment is in the
British Museum, as already noted.
One of the Worms editions is pre-
served in the Library Of Baptist Col
lege, Bristol. England. 1t is the
most complete of the three. lacking
only the first page. The other copy
of the Worms issue, containing about
four-fifths Of the New Testament, is
in st. Paul's Cathedral. London.
From the time of the publication
of his first Testament until his death
Tyndale worked increasingly upon
other portions of the Bible and upon
revision of those sections which he
had already translated. He saw most

Hence, after having decided to de-

William Tyndale, promptly applied TO
the Bishop of London for official
sanction of his projected work. AS
a translator he was we'll qualified for
his undertaking. He was $50 skilled
in seven nguageS-Hebrew, Greek.

English-that whichever he spoke

and Cambridge and been a private
chaplain for one of the nobility.
The bishop, Cuthbert Tunstall, how
ever, was not impressed by Tyndale
and told him there was no room in
his house for translator. The young
man shortly afterward found, as he
himself bitterly said, that not only
was there no room In the bishop
London palace to translate the New
Testament, but also that there was
no place to do it in all England"
