What prayer did Tyndale or Wycliffe make while being burned at the stake?
As he was burned at the stake, the early Reformer—identified in the context as possibly Tyndale or Wycliffe—prayed that every plow boy in England could have a copy of this Book. The prayer reflected the desire that it be available to the common person, not confined to seminaries and monasteries.
Les teaches that one of the early Reformers, whom he thinks was Tyndale but might have been Wycliffe, made this prayer while being burned at the stake: that every plow boy in England could have a copy of this Book. Les uses this to show the Book is meant for the common person, not to be kept only in the seminaries and monasteries. He says this matches the ministry’s aim to teach on the common man’s level so almost anybody can comprehend, and to appeal especially to those who have never had a salvation experience, because the Gospel is simple yet complex.
