Importance of Being Important
“He was never famous, even at the time, because, as Walker said, Savile took all the credit for the Chrysostom and the five years Bois had spent on the Bois had spent on the translation ‘makes no noyse, because it carries no name’. He wasn’t a particularly good man, nor particularly likable, nor a man of any scale. John Bois Was no William Tyndale, Lancelot Andrews or Henry Savile… wrote on his preface to the King James Bible, ‘ A man may be counted a venturous man, though hee haue made many slips in his life” PG 215 It’s incredible how they say that John Bois may have written in the bible, they talk about his life for one whole chapter and still they say he’s not important. Then what’s the point of writing one chapter about a person that they imply that is not important? Is it to waist space or is it because he is really important after all he was one of the people who wrote the Kings James Bible is he not?
