“To preach God's word is too much for half a
man. And to minister to a temporal kingdom is too much for half a man also.
Either or other requireth, the whole man. One therefore cannot well do both. He
that avengeth himself on every trifle is not meet to preach the patience of
Christ, how that man ought to forgive and to suffer all things. He that is
overwhelmed with all manner of riches and doth but seek more daily is not meet
to preach poverty” – William Tyndale in David Teems, Tyndale: the Man Who Gave God an English Voice, 169.
