You beat me to this.

Yes, Tyndale and many others were so lowly and undeserved of the accolades given them by leaders who forget or "rewrite their history" so that we never forget the blood and treasure spilt so that the truth of God's word wasn't lost giving us the scriptures, deserved to be murdered some even burned at the stake for their "misdeeds."

Don’t forget the tongue screws. These devices were used to prevent the condemned heretics from preaching, praising God, or singing hymns as the flames consumed them.

Oh, and don’t forget the drownings. Some Anabaptists (re-baptizers) were tied up in sacks with some heavy stones and thrown into rivers.

How nice.
