In 1537 appeared Matthew’s or Roger’s Bible (which was a mixture of Tyndale’s and Coverdale’s), and this has the distinction of being the first that henry authorized to be used by the people at large.

Coverdale was also a man of very different stamp from Tyndale.
Coverdale's Bible makes no pretence to be an original translation; it is "translated out of German and Latin into English," with the help of "five sundry interpreters" (translators), and the chief of these "interpreters" is evidently William Tyndale, whom, in the New Testament especially, he closely follows.
Like his predecessor, Tyndale, Coverdale also suffered for the fierce opposition of the priesthood against the translators and publishers of the Bible, while the many changes in the policy of the government placed him in frequent peril.
