“But it doesn’t - because it wasn’t printed with modern spelling in 1526.”
The 1526 edition also used heavy Gothic font. The font isn’t the point. It is the words used to make the translation. And the Tyndale translation was a very good translation. It is also available with modernized spelling, although my copy retains the original spelling.

I understand all that. If you buy a modernized spelling copy of the original D-R, you’ll find it to be – in most parts – just as easy to read as any part of Tyndale’s NT. That was the point.
