Historical Notes:
(1) Jacob Van Meteren in colaboration with Miles Coverdale translated and
printed the first entire English Bible. The Roman Church sent emissaries to search his house for the "forbidden book and papers." They lived in the
crucial days of the Spanish inquisition and withstood that persecution for
years. They finally went to England but their ship was destroyed and they
found a watery grave.
