THE first original composition from Tyndale’s pen, of which any trace or account has come down to us, is his ‘Prologue’ to the quarto edition of his translation of the New Testament. Indeed, the Rev. C. Anderson has not hesitated to say, that we have, in that Prologue, ‘the very first language addressed by him to the Christians of England:’ and if so, that first language is to be found in the ‘Pathway into the Holy Scripture.’ For the ‘Pathway’ is, in fact, a reprint of that Prologue; with such alterations as Tyndale either thought requisite to adapt it for separate publication, or expedient to prevent its identity with the reprobated Prologue from being detected at first sight.
