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, ¹for I intend to burn & destroy them all at Pauls Cross. This Augustine Packington, went unto William Tyndall and declared the whole matter, and so upon compact made between them, the Bishop of London had the books, Packington had the thanks, & Tyndale had the money. After this Tyndale corrected the same new Testaments again, and caused them to be newly imprinted, so that they came thick and threefold over into England. When the Bishop perceived that, he sent for Packington, and said to him how cometh this that there are so many new Testaments abroad? you promised me that you would buy them all. Then answered Packington: surely I bought all that was to be had, but I perceive the have printed more since. I see it will never be better so long as they have letters and stamps, wherefore you were best to buy the stamps too, & so you shall be sure. At which answer the Bishop smiled and so the matter ended.
