Miles Coverdale 1488-1569. After developing an appreciation of Martin Luther he became an advocate of ecclesiastical reform. Forced (1528) to reside abroad for his preaching against confession and images, he worked with William Tyndale and later published (1535) the first English translation of the entire Bible, probably largely with the aid of the Vulgate, Tyndale's Pentateuch and New Testament, and German versions emanating from Luther and the translators at Zürich.
