"Drunken of the blood. It is plain, that this woman signifieth the whole corp of all the persecutors that have and shall shed so much blood of the just: of the Prophets, Apostles, and other Martyrs from the beginning of the world to the end. The Protestants foolishly expound it of Rome, for that there they put Heretics to death, and allow of their punishment in other countries: But their blood is not called the blood of Saints, no more than the blood of thieves, mankillers, and other malefactors: for the shedding of which by order of justice, no commonwealth shall answer." (Original Annotation on Apocalypse 17:6)

An 1872 Edition of the New Testament of the Bible in Latin and English parallel columns
"As the Protestant exiles at Geneva, in the reign of Mary, had provided a version of the Scriptures for their fellow-countrymen, so the Popish exiles at Rheims, in the reign of Elizabeth, imitated their example, and produced another version for the use of their brethren in the faith. The principal persons engaged in the translation were William Allen, Gregory Martin, and Richard Bristow. The first of these was a very distinguished man among the Papists. In the reign of Mary he had been Principal of St. Mary's Hall, Oxford, and Canon of York, but on the accession of her protestant sister had fled to London, and afterwards to Douay. There he was made Doctor of Divinity, and soon afterwards was created Canon of Cambray, whence he was subsequently appointed to a Canonry at Rheims. He there established a Popish seminary, and vigorously exerted himself in opposing Protestantism, for which he was rewarded with a cardinal's hat, and the archbishopric of Mechlin." (Preface. Reprinted from the Introduction to the English Hexapla)

Originally Published in 1734. An 1836 Edition Greek New Testament (1734 Tübingen & Stuttgart, Bengelii Novi Testamenti) by Johann Albrecht Bengel (1687-1752), also known as Johanne Alberti Bengelii, a Lutheran divine of Württemberg, Germany. Eusebius Canonum (Canonibus Eusebii).
"Monitum. Damus tibi in manus, L. B. Novum Testamentum idem profecto, quod ad textum attinet, cum ed. Milliana, cum divisione Pericoparum, et Interpunctura J. A. Bengelii. Accedunt praeterea Parallela S. Scripturae loca secundum editionem Curcellaei, et Epistola ad Carpianum cum Canonibus Eusebii. Et de hac nostra editione, etsi nihil novi aut quod ad rem criticam pertinet moliti sumus, pauca tamen in usum juniorum liceat praefari. Et primo, de Bengelii Pericopis ipse Bengelius audiatur: 'Divisio,' ait, 'in Capita, haec quidem, qua hodie utimur, Graecis ignota fuit, et in Latinis codicibus primum, iisque Manuscriptis, deinde in impressis exstitit; dehinc in editiones N. T. Graeco-Latinas immigravit; postremo mere Graecis adhaesit. Divisionem in versiculos a Roberto Stephano introductam esse, constat."

Originally Published in 1531. An 1621 Edition. William Tyndale (1494-1536) was an English Protestant Christian Reformer, an appologist, and a bible translator, who was martyred at the stake by the Roman Catholic Church in 1536.
"The scripture contains three things in it: first the law to condemn all flesh: secondarily, the Gospel that is to save, promises of mercy for all that repent and acknowledge their sins at the preaching of the law and consent in their hearts that the law is good and submit themselves to be scholars to learn to keep the law and to learn to believe the mercy that is promised them: and thirdly, the stories and lives of those scholars both what chances fortuned them and also by what means their schoolmaster taught them and made them perfect and how he tried the true from the false."
