"I perceived how that it was impossible to establish the lay people in any truth except the scripture were plainly laid before their eyes in their mother tongue". -William Tyndale

The Scripture

And ye have seen him. Philip said unto him: Lord shew us thy father and it sufficeth us. Jesus said unto him: have I been so long time with you: and yet hast thou not known me? Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the father. And how sayest thou then: shew us the father? Believest thou not that I am in the father, and the father in me? The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself: but the father dwelling in me is he that doeth the works. Believe that I am in the father, and the father in me.
John 16:27 For my father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

Now know we that thou understandest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee any question. Therefore believe we that thou camest from God. Jesus answered them: Now ye do believe

Tyndale
"Jesus is God, and Almighty. He took our nature upon him, and felt all our infirmities and sicknesses, and in feeling learned to have compassion on us, and for compassion cried mightily in prayers to God the Father for us, and was heard. And the voice of the same blood that once cried, not for vengeance as Abel’s, but for mercy only, as was heard, crieth now and ever, and is ever heard ... He is also called Christus, that is to say, king anointed with all might and power over sin, death and hell, and over all sins. ... He is anointed with all fullness of grace, and hath all the treasure and riches of the Spirit of God in his hand, with which he blesseth all men, according to the promise made to Abraham."
~William Tyndale [Exposition of the First Epistle of St. John]
Philippians 2 : 5 [Jesus "emptied" himself of his God nature and became as a humbled servant.]
Tyndale
"Let the same mind be in you the which was in Christ Jesus: Which being in the shape of God, and thought it not robbery to be equal with God. Nevertheless he made himself of no reputation, and took on him the shape of a servant, and became like unto men, and was found in his apparel as a man."
Wycliffe
"And feel ye this thing in you, which was also in Christ Jesus; which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, himself to be even to God; but he meeked himself, taking the form of a servant, and was made into the likeness of men, and in habit was found as a man.
God came down retaining all the attributes of divinity, yet, as a man, he voluntarily restricted their use.
