Notes for John "The Martyr" Rogers:
He was educated at Cambridge, leaving there about 1525. In about 1526 he took holy orders in the Roman Catholic Church, and from this time on his life was one of turmoil and strife in the religious world. He became a leader of the Anglican Reformation, and paid the penalty by being burned at the stake - his children beling forced to witness the ordeal.

*****************************
Rogers, John

(b. c. 1500, Aston, Staffordshire, Eng. --d. Feb. 4, 1555,
Smithfield, London), religious Reformer and the first
Protestant martyr of the English queen Mary I's reign. He
was the editor of the English Bible published (I 53 7) under
the pseudonym Thomas Matthew.

A graduate of the University of Cambridge (1526), he was
made rector of Holy Trinity, Queenhithe, London, about 1532
and two years later became a chaplain to English merchants
at Antwerp. There the English scholar William Tyndale
influenced him to forsake Roman Catholicism for
Protestantism. After Tyndale was betrayed and executed in
1536, Rogers combined Tyndale's translation of the Old
Testament, which was complete through 2 Chronicles, with the
remaining books from the translation by another English
scholar, Miles Coverdale, and added Tyndale's New Testament
(1526). This version of the complete Bible, which also
included Coverdale's translation of the Apocrypha, was first
printed in Antwerp in 1537 by one Thomas Matthew; this
pseudonym probably was intended to protect Rogers from
meeting Tyndale's fate, and the Rogers edition was shortly
afterward sold in England. Although Rogers had little to do
with the actual translation, he supplied notes and valuable
prefaces that constitute the first English commentary on the
Bible. His work formed the basis of the Great Bible (1539),
from which the Bishops' Bible (1568) and the Authorized, or
King James, Version (1611) came.

Rogers returned to England in 1548 from Germany, where he
had served a Protestant congregation in Wittenberg, and
published a translation of the German Reformer Philipp
Melanchthon's Considerations of the Augsburg Interim.
Appointed a prebendary of St. Paul's Cathedral in London in
1551, Rogers was soon made a divinity lecturer. On the
accession in 1553 of the Roman Catholic queen, Mary I, he
preached an anti-Catholic sermon warning against "pestilent
Popery, idolatry, and superstition" and was immediately
placed under house arrest. In January 1554 the bishop of
London sent him to Newgate, where he was imprisoned for a
year. With 10 other prisoners he was brought before a
council in Southwark in January 1555 for examination, and
within a week he was sentenced to death by burning for
heresy.
