A clergyman hopelessly entrenched in Roman Catholic dogma once taunted Tyndale with the statement, “We are better to be without God’s laws than the Pope’s”. Tyndale was infuriated by such Roman Catholic heresies, and he replied, “I defy the Pope and all his laws. If God spare my life ere many years, I will cause the boy that drives the plow to know more of the scriptures than you!”

ftd, that's popular fiction, unattested and made up a few centuries later. It has no attestation and not even a name or a witness for reference. It is not something that Tyndale even wrote about, right?
If you believe fiction like that, then no wonder Dan Brown makes such a good living...
