The translation of Erasmus's Manual of the Christian Soldier , thought to be by William Tyndale, is one of the foundational texts of the English Reformation. The present edition is based for the first time on the recently-discovered manuscript dating from 1523. It is accompanied by translations of other key religious works, Erasmus's treatise on the Lord's Prayer and the introduction to the New Testament; by the anti-papal satire, Julius Exclusus ; and by the Epistle in Praise of Matrimony and the Proverbs , both translated by the English Erasmian, Richard Taverner, in support of Thomas Cromwell's reformist agenda.
