Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Church of England Biographies
The great awakening to the consideration of the highest questions, and of the means best fitted to perpetuate in England a pure and living Chris tianity, which the Reformation produced, ulti mately resolved itself into three distinct forms of thought - the Roman, the Anglican, and the Puri tan. According to the Romanist, it was wrong to change anything in the doctrine, or discipline, or ritual of the Church, without direct authority from the Pope. According to the Puritan, it was wrong to retain any rite or ceremony which Rome had specially sanctioned. The one said nothing should be changed, the other said all must be changed. The one regarded all arrangements of the Church as sacred and inviolable, the other looked on them.
