Oops! There was none...

Better take it up with the people at tyndale-bible.com, whose website states quite clearly:

Besides translating the Bible, Tyndale also held and published views which were considered heretical, first by the Catholic Church, and later by the Church of England which was established by King Henry VIII. His Bible translation also included notes and commentary promoting these views.

I posted a reproduction of his first translation, which the Catholic Church tried to stop & burn. His revised edition, a few years later, DID have notes...and the Catholic Church ALSO tried to suppress it.

However, since they tried with equal vigor to suppress his translation, both with and WITHOUT notes, it seems pretty obvious it was the TRANSLATION they objected to, not the notes!

New and improved editions of the New Testament were constantly being prepared by Tyndale, many containing marginal notes, some of which were directed against the papacy.
From the book "Portraits of Faithful Saints" at the website of the "Protestant Reformed Churches in America"
