As for Tyndale, well, King Henry VIII, in 1531 declared "the translation of the Scripture corrupted by William Tyndale should be utterly expelled, rejected, and put away out of the hands of the people." And in 1543—after his break with Rome—Henry again decreed that "all manner of books of the Old and New Testament in English, being of the crafty, false, and untrue translation of Tyndale . . . shall be clearly and utterly abolished, extinguished, and forbidden to be kept or used in this realm."
And God answered the prayer of Tyndale when he prayed as he was about to burned at the stake for the 'crime' of giving the Bible to the average person, 'open the eyes of the King' and the Matthews Bible was allowed to be circulated freely, which was essentially Tyndales translation of the NT and parts of the Old.
Thomas More said searching for errors in the Tyndale bible was like searching for water in the sea.
And why would anyone care what More said about anything?
Tyndale is ranked with Shakespeare as the greatest individual influence on the English language.
And 90% of the NT in the AV1611 is Tyndale.
But the one verse that all pre-1611 versions (including the Douay-Rheims) agreed on was 1Cor.1:18, which makes salvation an event-not a process-the Christian view of salvation.

You’re funny. Agents of Henry VIII - no friend of Catholicism - had him captured and killed in Holland.

By whom? I suppose that Sts. Ambrose and Augustine don’t matter either.
