This is from a book by E.G. White that was given to my daughter by a stranger in a parking lot (I pointed out to her that E.G. would probably be referring to Ellen G. - the founder of Seventh Day Adventism) - but the quote is good nonetheless:
It was not long after that a learned Catholic doctor, engaging in controversy with him, exclaimed: "We were better to be without God's laws than the Pope's." Tyndale replied, "I defy the Pope and all his laws;and if God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than you do."
Anderson, Annals of the English Bible, p19.
Pretty interesting - without Tyndale's english rendition of the Bible which led to the King James version, Joseph would never have had access to the words of God in order to question it and ask the question - the most humble prayer of a plowboy that changed the world.....
