- Perhaps if you were to research the trial and execution of William
- Tyndall for the translation and printing of the scriptures, you may find
- the laws that were used to justify this execution. That Tyndall was
- executed in Holland is known, and that it was his printing of the new
- testament that was his crime is also known.
