Tyndale's Last Words

And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them,
and to purge, and to make them white,
even to the time of the end:
Daniel 11:35

"William Tyndale’s final words before the chain around his neck
strangled him to death were, “Lord, open the king of England’s eyes.”
That dying prayer was answered two years after Tyndale’s death, when King Henry VIII ordered that the Bible of Miles Coverdale was to be used in every parish in the land. The Coverdale Bible was largely based on Tyndale’s work."
