ßeacbtung verdient aueb nocb folgende Stelle dieser 

 Schrift Tyndale's, die wir nach Walter's Ausgabe der Werke 

 Tyndale's für die Parker Society (I. 41 f.) mittbeilen müssen: 

 ,It becomes not then the Lord's servant, to nse railing rhymes, 

 but God's Word . . . Tbe word of God is tbat day wbereof 

 Paul speaketb, [I. Coi\ 111.] wbicb sball declare all things, 

 and tbat fire wbicb sball try every man's work, and consume 

 false doctrine: witb tbat sword ougbt men sbarply to figbt and 

 not to rail with foolish rhymes. Let it not offend thee, tbat 

 some walk inordinately; let not the wickedness of Judas cause 

 the to despise the doctrine of his feU.ows. No man ougbt to 

 tbink tbat Stepben was a false preacher, becaiise fhat Nicholas, 

 which ivas chosen felloio ivith him to minister unfo the tvidoivs, 

 feil after into great heresies, as histories make mention. Good 

 and evil go always togetber, one cannot be known witbout tbe 

 other/ 



Die hier angeführten Stellen aus dieser Schrift Tyndale's

 namentlich sind die Worte Tyndale's: ^he hym seife translated 

 a dialoge out of laten into Englysh, in whose prologe he pro- 

 layseth moare a greate deal' etc. für die Identität des Lyttle
