Originally, Tyndale sought the approval of Church authorities for his planned translation of the Bible; he went to London to meet with Bishop [[Cuthbert Tunstall]], a well-known scholar of [[Greek]] and [[Latin]].  Tunstall., however, held strongly to the Church's belief, held since the days of [[John Wyclif|Wyclif]], that to translate the Bible into English would be to make it vulnerable to all kinds of misreadings and disputes.  Tyndale, however, was not discouraged, and with the help of patrons in [[London]] began his translation of the [[New Testament]], which he completed at [[Hamburg]] in 1524.  According to some accounts, he visited [[Martin Luther]] at [[Wittenberg]], though there is no documentary evidence of their having met.  In 1526, his [[New Testament]] was published in [[Worms]], at the time a Protestant stronghold, and copies were smuggled into England.  [[Cardinal Wolsey]], when he saw these books and learned of Tyndale's involvement, condemned him as a heretic and wrote out a warrant for his arrest.
