The new Testament in the Catalogue above recited, began first to be translated by William Tyndall, & so came forth in Print, about the year of our Lord. 1529. wherewith Cuthbert Tonstall Bishop of London, with Sir Thomas More being sore aggrieved, devised how to destroy the false erroneous translation, as he called it. It happened that one Augustine Packington a Mercer, was then at Antwerp, where the Bishop was. This man favoured Tyndall, but showed the contrary unto the Bishop. The Bishop being desirous to bring his purpose to pass, commoned how that he would gladly buy the new Testaments, Packington hearing him say so, said: my Lord I can do more in this matter then most Merchants that be hear, if it be your pleasure: for I know the Dutchmen & strangers that have bought them of Tyndall, and have them here to sell, so that if it be your Lordships pleasure I must disburse money to pay for them, or else I cannot have them, & so I will assure you to have every book of them that is printed & unsold. The Bishop thinking he had God by the toe, said: do your diligence gē tle Master Packington, get them for me, & I will pay whatsoever they cost,
