When Bible Reading Was Dangerous

Imagine when people were persecuted for reading Bibles.
Imagine before that when only the elite priests could read
Biblical truths and teaching, psalms, proverbs, and more.
Some of the non-Catholic Bible Readers burned at the stake.
Protestant martyrs, each one hunted down and murdered.
William Tyndaly translated the Bible into English
And was strangled and burned at the stake.
In 1401 Oxford professors burned at the stake too,
Their crime, translating the Bible into English.
I often wish the Lord above could have intervened
And saved the thousands upon thousands tortured and killed
By those that perverted Christianity and the Catholic Religion
Thank God those days are gone now.
