Cf. Confutationum in Opera 183r—v, 186v; tr. Willis 346–48, 354–55. See Robert J. Wilkinson, "Reconstructing Tyndale in Latomus: William Tyndale's last, lost, book," Reformation 1 (1996) 252–85. For justification by faith, cf. 96/22n; for Latomus, cf. 209/1n. See also Jos E. Vercruysse SJ, "Latomus and Tyndale's Trial ," WCS 197–214. (JW)
