, See also:English translator of the See also:Bible and See also:bishop of See also:Exeter, was See also:born of See also:Yorkshire parents about 1488, studied See also:philosophy and See also:theology at See also:Cambridge, was ordained See also:priest at See also:Norwich in 1514, and then entered the See also:convent of See also:Austin friars at Cambridge
.
Here he came under the See also:influence of the See also:prior, See also:Robert See also:Barnes, made the acquaintance of See also:Sir See also:- THOMAS
- THOMAS (c. 1654-1720)
- THOMAS (d. 110o)

.
He was one of those who met at the See also:- WHITE
- WHITE, ANDREW DICKSON (1832– )
- WHITE, GILBERT (1720–1793)
- WHITE, HENRY KIRKE (1785-1806)
- WHITE, HUGH LAWSON (1773-1840)

- WHITE, THOMAS (1628-1698)
- WHITE, THOMAS (c. 1550-1624)
White See also:Horse See also:tavern to discuss theological questions, and when Barnes was arrested on a See also:charge of See also:heresy, See also:Coverdale went up to See also:London to assist him in See also:drawing up his See also:defence
.
Soon afterwards he See also:left the convent, assumed the See also:habit of a See also:secular priest, and began to preach against See also:confession and the See also:worship of images
.
In 1531 he graduated See also:bachelor of See also:canon See also:law at Cambridge, but from 1528 to 1534 he prudently spent most of his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time abroad
.
No corroboration has, however, been found for See also:Foxe's statement that in 1529 he was at See also:Hamburg assisting See also:Tyndale in his See also:translation of the See also:Pentateuch
.
In 1534 he published two See also:translations of his own, the first Dulichius's Vom See also:alien and newen Gott, and the second a See also:Paraphrase upon the See also:Psalms, and in 1535 he completed his translation of the Bible
.
The venture seems to have been projected by See also:Jacob See also:van Meteren, who apparently employed Coverdale to do the translation, and Froschover of See also:Zurich to do the See also:printing
.
No perfect copy is known to exist, and the five or six which alone have See also:title-pages give no name of publisher or See also:place of publication
.
The See also:volume is dedicated to the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king of See also:England, where See also:Convocation at See also:Cranmer's instance had, in See also:December 1534, petitioned for an authorized English version of the Scriptures
.
As a See also:work of scholarship it does not See also:rank particularly high
.
Some of the title-pages See also:state that it had been translated out of " Douche " (i.e
.
See also:German) " and Latyn ": and Coverdale mentions that he used five interpreters, which are supposed to have been the See also:Vulgate, the Latin version of Pagninus, See also:Luther's translation, the Zurich version, and Tyndale's Pentateuch and New Testament
.
There is no definite mention of the See also:original See also:Greek and See also:Hebrew texts; but it has considerable See also:literary merit, many of Coverdale's phrases are retained in the authorized version, and it was the first See also:complete Bible to be printed in English
.
Two fresh See also:editions were issued in 1537, but none of them received See also:official See also:sanction
.
Coverdale was, however, employed by Cromwell to assist in the See also:production of the See also:Great Bible of 1539, which was ordered to be placed in all English churches
.
The work was done at See also:Paris until the See also:French See also:government stopped it, when Coverdale and his colleagues returned to England See also:early in 1539 to complete it
.
He was also employed in the same See also:year in assisting at the suppression of superstitious usages, but the reaction of 1540 drove him once more abroad
.
His Bible was prohibited by See also:proclamation in 1542, while Coverdale himself defied the Six Articles by marrying See also:Elizabeth Macheson, See also:sister-in-law to Dr See also:John See also:MacAlpine
.
For a time Coverdale lived at See also:Tubingen, where he was created
D.D
.
In 1545 he was pastor and schoolmaster at Bergzabern in the duchy of Pfalz-See also:Zweibrucken
.
In See also:March 1548 he was at See also:Frankfort, when the new English See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
Order of Communion reached him; he at once translated it into German and Latin and sent a copy to See also:Calvin, whose wife had befriended Coverdale at See also:Strassburg
.
Calvin, however, does not seem to have approved of it so highly as Coverdale
.
Coverdale was already on his way back to England, and in See also:October 1548 he was staying at See also:Windsor See also:Castle, where Cranmer and some other divines, inaccurately called the Windsor See also:Commission, were preparing the First See also:Book of See also:Common See also:Prayer
.
His first See also:appointment had been as See also:almoner to See also:Queen See also:Catherine See also:Parr, then wife of See also:Lord See also:Seymour; and he preached her funeral See also:sermon in See also:September 1548
.
He was also See also:chaplain to the See also:young king and took an active See also:part in the reforming See also:measures of his reign
.
He was one of the most effective preachers of the time
.
A sermon by him at St See also:Paul's on the second See also:Sunday in See also:- LENT (0. Eng. lenclen, " spring," M. Eng. lenten, lente, lent; cf. Dut. lente, Ger. Lenz, " spring," 0. H. Ger. lenzin, lengizin, lenzo, probably from the same root as " long " and referring to " the lengthening days ")
Lent, 1549, was immediately followed by the pulling down of " the See also:sacrament at the high See also:altar." A few See also:weeks later he preached at the See also:penance of some See also:Anabaptists, and in See also:January 1550 he was put on a commission to prosecute Anabaptists and all who infringed the Book of Common Prayer
.
In 1549 he wrote a See also:dedication to See also:Edward for a translation of the second volume of See also:Erasmus's Paraphrases; and in 1550 he translated See also:Otto Wermueller's See also:Precious See also:Pearl, for which See also:Protector See also:Somerset, who had derived spiritual comfort from the book while in the See also:Tower, wrote a See also:preface
.
He was much in See also:request at funerals: he preached at Sir See also:- JAMES
- JAMES (Gr. 'IlrKw,l3or, the Heb. Ya`akob or Jacob)
- JAMES (JAMES FRANCIS EDWARD STUART) (1688-1766)

James Wilford's in See also:November 1550, and at Lord Went-See also:worth's before a great concourse in See also:Westminster See also:Abbey in" March 1551
.
Perhaps it was his See also:gift of See also:oratory which suggested his appointment as bishop of the refractory men of See also:Devon and See also:Cornwall
.
He had already, in See also:August 1549, at some See also:risk, gone down with Lord See also:- RUSSELL (FAMILY)
- RUSSELL, ISRAEL COOK (1852- )
- RUSSELL, JOHN (1745-1806)

Russell to turn the See also:hearts of the rebels by See also:preaching and persuasion, and two years later he was appointed bishop of Exeter by letters patent, on the compulsory retirement of his predecessor, Veysey, who had reached an .almost mythical See also:age
.
He was an active See also:prelate, and perhaps the vigorous Protestantism of the See also:West in Elizabeth's reign was partly due to his persuasive See also:powers
.
He sat on the commission for the reform of the canon law, and was in See also:constant attendance during the parliaments of 1552 and 1553
.
On See also:Mary's See also:accession he was at once deprived on the See also:score of his See also:marriage, and Veysey in spite of his age was restored
.
Coverdale was called before the privy See also:council on the 1st of September, and required to find sureties; but he was not further molested, and when See also:Christian III. of See also:Denmark at the instance of Coverdale's See also:brother-in-law, MacAlpine, interceded in his favour, he was in See also:February 1555 permitted to leave for Denmark with two servants, and his baggage unsearched; one of these " servants " is said to have been his wife
.
He declined Christian's offer of a living in Denmark, and preferred to preach at See also:Wesel to the numerous English refugees there, until he was invited by See also:Duke Wolfgang to resume his labours at Bergzabern
.
He was at See also:Geneva in December 1558, and is said to have participated in the preparation of the Geneva version of the Bible
.
In 1559 Coverdale returned to England and resumed his preaching at St Paul's and elsewhere
.
Clothed in a See also:plain See also:black See also:gown, he assisted at See also:Parker's See also:consecration, in spite of the facts that he had himself been deprived, and did not resume his bishopric, and that his original appointment had been by the uncanonical method of letters patent
.
Conscientious objections were probably responsible for his non-restoration to the see of Exeter, and his refusal of that of See also:Llandaff in 1563
.
He objected to See also:vestments, and in his living of St See also:Magnus See also:close to London See also:Bridge, which he received in 1563, he took other liberties with the See also:Act of Uniformity
.
His bishop, See also:Grindal, was his friend, and his vagaries were overlooked until 1566, when he resigned his living rather than conform
.
He still preached occasionally, and always See also:drew large audiences
.
He died in February 1568, and was buried on the 19th in St See also:Bartholomew's behind the See also:Exchange
.
When this See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
