Mammon. Tyndale
assumed public responsibility for his writings when he put
his name at the head of the preface of Mammon
(May 1528). He refers to Mammon in Obedience (I2v, Q3v), the afterword to
Genesis (TOT 82) and Answer (here and 201/29–30).
For Tyndale's gradual acknowledgment of authorship, see O'Donnell , "Editing the Independent Works of William Tyndale," in Editing Texts From the Age of Erasmus
(U of Toronto P, 1996) 49–70.

And as for . . .
with out it. Cf. CWM 6/1.149/21–28; quoted exactly by CWM
8/1.321/6–14. In the OT the Sabbath is characterized by abstention from
work (Exod. 20.8), a festive spirit (Isa. 58.13), and
religious instruction (Lev. 23.3). The early church moved the Sabbath
from Saturday to Sunday to commemorate Christ's Resurrection.
Tyndale's freedom regarding which day to observe the Sabbath is based on
Col. 2.16, Rom. 14.5 (NCE 12.778–82; OER 3.459–60). Between 1527 and
c1540, Anabaptists in Silesia and Moravia celebrated the Lord's Day on
Saturday. This development prompted Luther to write Against the Sabbatarians in 1538 (WA 50.312–37; LW
47.65–98).
