William Tyndale, one of the early English reformers is known for his translation of the Bible into English; his was the first English Bible to draw directly from Hebrew and Greek texts. Though executed in 1535 for heresy, his Bible became the prominent influence over the next 100 years . His version also was a prominent influence on the Geneva Bible which was the Bible brought to the New World on the Mayflower.

Here is an excerpt from the Preface of The First Printed English New Testament, translated by William Tyndale.

With reverence, almost with awe, we here offer to the reader the photographic likeness of a priceless gem in English literature. It is the unique Fragment of that first and fontal edition of the English New Testament, to which Mr. Anderson refers as "the veritable origin of all those millions of English Scriptures now being read in so many different and distant parts of the globe--parts, utterly unknown to our immortal Translator, when he sent the sheets to the press--parts, then untrodden by any Englishman--parts, then undiscovered."
