In the Preface to The Obedience of the Christian Man (1529), William Tyndale wrote of the need for readers to have access to the Bible whether they were learned or not. According to this source, he wrote that ‘if they go abroad and walk by the fields and meadows of all manner doctors and philosophers, they could catch no harm; they should discern the poison from the honey and bring home nothing but that which is wholesome.’ (p149)
