The fourth day of February, suffered master John Rogers, 1he was of the University of Cambridge: from whence at length he was chosen to be Chaplain to the merchants at Antwerp, in Brabant: where he fell in company with master William Tyndale, and with Miles Coverdale: by conference with whom, he came to great knowledge in the Gospel, and cast off popery, and joined himself with them: as in the translating of the Bible, entitled, the translation of Thomas Matthew. After he was married, he went to Wittenberg in Saxony: where he so profited in knowledge, and in the Dutch tongue: that the charge of a Congregation was committed unto him.
