"Thomas Matthew is commonly treated as a pseudonym of John Rogers (1500?-1555) ... But as Rogers only edited what is essentially Tyndale's translation, it seems more probable that Matthew stands for Tyndale's own name, which was then dangerous to employ."  Cf. Herbert 34.

"A reprint of Matthew's Bible of 1537, with the notes, etc, revised; edited by Edmunde Becke."  Cf. Darlow and Moule.
