… enormously effective. Here I can mention Doctor Profundus Thomas Bradwardine, Bible translator Miles Coverdale and Martyr saint Hugh Latimer. The list of such names is very long and modern research is merely scratching on the surface of the great work of God done in Reformation times.
However, I do not wish to neglect the great Continental Reformers such as Jan Hus, Ulrich Zwingli, Martin Bucer and Henry Bullinger, men of God without whom Calvin would have perhaps never have been won …
Portraits of Faithful Saints

… becomes evident. Not one single English Reformer during the long reign of Elizabeth, be it Parker, Coverdale, Jewel, Grindal, Perkins or whoever, is mentioned by Hanko as a ‘Faithful Saint’. In Henry VIII’s reign, William Tyndale (c.1490-1536) is given due prominence and rightly so. Yet Tyndale was not the first man to complete a translation of the Bible as Hanko states. He was martyred after only completing the New Testament and parts of the Old which he had translated with the help of …
Henry Bullinger

… Elijah. His major doctrinal works in Swiss-German were eagerly translated into English by such as Miles Coverdale and Bullinger’s Latin works went into hundreds of editions. The Genevan Council insisted that whenever Calvin’s works were printed, they should be accompanied by Bullinger’s on the same themes so as to preserve a good balance. When Beza took over the Church at Geneva, the Council advised him to walk in Bullinger’s, Bucer’s and Calvin’s footsteps, in that order. …
Henry Bullinger (1504-1575)

… fifty printers in other European countries were turning out countless editions. Reformers such as Miles Coverdale translated Bullinger into English from the 1530s on. Bullinger’s books were internationally treasured because they were said to be free of Calvin’s obscurity and Musculus’ scholastical subtlety and packed much sound, perspicuous doctrine into comparatively little space, making them interesting to read and easy to remember.
In 1586 Archbishop, John Whitgift, …
… of a century later. Lloyd-Jones sees this as a positive trend and regards the English Reformers as Miles Coverdale, Edmund Grindal, John Jewel, John Fox and Richard Cox as representing a false and lost cause. Knox is Lloyd-Jones’ Asterix, spelt differently, but Knox’s foe was not Rome but the Church of England. Some of our modern Ultra- Puritans have criticised me for daring to be objective on Knox. Scotsman Andrew Lang, perhaps the most well-known of Knox’ biographers, warns against the …
… whose works were used as a basis for Puritan teaching. Reformers such as Jewel, Lever, Latimer, Coverdale, Cox, Grindal, Bullinger, Bucer and Peter Martyr, pillars of the Church of England, were most strong on doctrine, especially concerning the Word of God and those beliefs commonly called Calvinism. Many of these Reformers were Calvinists before Calvin. They were also almost untouched by secular politics, believing in the separation of Parliament and Church. Many Puritans failed to keep …

… Anyone reading such sound and instructive books as Bungener’s History of the Council of Trent, Miles’ The Voice of the Glorious Reformation and Collette’s’ The Novelties of Romanism, will realise how the Vatican sect, erroneously known as the Roman Catholic Church, is a pseudo-religious movement of a relatively young age. Indeed, it is a corrupt, political institution of which communism, fascism, the Mafia and the lodges are mere pale reflections. It arose amongst the ranks of …

… was far less established in Reformation patterns as other Anglicans at Frankfurt such as Bale, Coverdale, Whitehead, Grindal, Sandys, Foxe and Lever. Several of these had been in Christ at least a decade before Knox. Indeed, it is not difficult to point out a number of popish practices which still clung to Knox in his opposition to Anglican Reforms. Certainly the Anglicans at Frankfurt were able to point Knox to better ways, as they most demonstrably did. Even Knox’s Roman Catholic …
Reflections on Some Recent Banner of Truth Criticisms Regarding William Huntington and Avarice

… Huntington is not allowed to pick up his farm labourers in the morning and take them the five miles to church because poor people, we understand, ought to walk! I wonder if Mr Murray wrote these words as he commuted backwards and forwards from Australia to Britain, to America in a luxury jet?
