A warmer coat also,
for that which I have is very thin: also cloth for repairing my
leggings; my overcoat is worn out: the shirts also are worn out. He
has a woolen shirt of mine, if he will please send it. I have also
with him leggings of heavier cloth for overwear. He likewise has
warmer nightcaps: I also ask to be allowed to use a lamp in the
evening: it is indeed weariesome sitting alone in the dark.
But most of all I beg and beseech your clemency to be urgent with the
commissary, that he will kindly permit me to have my Hebrew Bible,
Hebrew Grammar, and Hebrew Dictionary, and that I might employ my
time with that study. Thus likewise may you obtain what you most
desire, saving that it further the salvation of your soul. But if,
before the end of winter, a different decision be reached concerning
me, I shall be patient, and submit to the will of God to the glory of
the grace of Iesus Christ my Lord, whose spirit may ever direct your
heart. Amen.'
W. Tyndale
Tyndale was condemned as a heretic, degraded from the priesthood, and
delivered to the secular authorities for punishment under the laws of
the Inquisition.
