But God, who secretly disposed the course of things, saw y• was not best for Tyndals purpose, nor for the profit of his Church, and therefore gave him to find little favour in the Bishops sight. The answer of whom was this, that his house was full: he had moe then he could well find, and advised him to seek in London abroad where he said he could lack no service &c. And so he remained in London the space almost of a year, beholding and marking with him self the course of the world and especially the Demeanour of the preachers, how they boasted them selves, & set up their authority & kingdom: Beholding also the pomp of the Prelates, with other things that greatly misliked him. Insomuch, as he understood not only to be no room in the Bishops house for him to translate the new Testament: but also that there was no place to do it in all England. And therefore finding no place for his purpose within the Realm, and having some aid and provision, by Gods providence ministered unto him by Humphrey Monmouth Merchant, who after was both Sheriff and Alderman of London, and by certain other good men, he took his leave of the Realm, and departed into Germany. Where the good man being inflamed with a tender care and zeal of his country refused no travel, or diligence, how by all means possible; to reduce his brethren & Countrymen of England to the same taste and understanding of Gods holy word, and verity which the Lord had endued him withal.

And therefore fynding no place for his purpose within the Realme, and hauing some ayde and prouision, by Gods prouidence ministred vnto him by Humfrev Mommouth Merchaunt, who after was both Shirife and Alderman of London, and by certaine other good men, he tooke his leaue of the Realme, and departed into Germany. Where the good man being inflamed with a tender care and zeale of his countrey refused no trauell, or diligence, how by all meanes possible; to reduce his bretheren & Countrymen of England to the same tast and vnderstanding of Gods holy worde, and veritie which the Lorde had endued him withall.
