Good question. The quote is ambiguous. It is in the form of a general request, with nothing specific. One could think Tyndale was asking for the whole enchilada. Conversion, repentance, openness to the word of God. Hard to say. But we do see that despite Henry's defects, God did use him to make the word of God more widely known, and as this is in keeping with God's own purpose, we see it as the work of the sovereign God overruling the devices of men. All things work together for good to those who love God.

No, I do not see that. Henry was wicked monster of a man. Claiming he loved God and thus all things worked together for Henry's good is cognitive dissonance; might as well say the same about Ahab and Jezebel. It seems any leader of the Reformation must be rehabilitated.

Claiming he loved God

LOL! Read more carefully. :) I never said that. I don't regard him as necessarily any better than Nebuchadnezzar. Yet God worked through him to an ultimate good, because God can do that. Nasty kings don't stop him. Again, read what was actually said.

Peace,
