The current owner of Little Sodbury Manor graciously allowed us to take photos of the Great Room. It is here that Tyndale had discussions over dinner with visiting Catholic priests and prelates. It is perhaps in this room that the famous discussion was carried on, in which a priest said, “We only need the pope’s laws,” and Tyndale replied that he defied the pope and all his laws and that he intended to make the plowboy to know the Scriptures.)

And it is likely that he picked up the quote from Erasmus.

Perhaps not.

I'm not really interested in musings on Way of Life that haven't been validated. Either the priest said it or he didn't. Let's see the evidence.
