Book Description
Excerpt from The Struggle Against Absolute Monarchy, 1603-1688 Queen Elizabeth did not wish for any more changes, and so chose archbishops and bishops to govern the Church of England who were no friends to the Puritans. They thought that the Church services needed no change and that the Puritans were making an outcry about triacs. They therefore turned out of their livings ministers who did not use the ceremonies laid down in the Prayer Book. The people, as a body, liked the services of their Church. Still they wished that something should be done to content the Puritans. It was not easy to find enough good and able men to be parish ministers, and as the ministers who held with the Puritans were usually very able and zealous, it seemed a great pity that they should lose their livings because they did not like to wear a surplice. Then James came to the throne men hoped that he would let laws be made by Parliament ordering (i) that ministers should not be turned out of their livings for not using all the ceremonies laid down in the Prayer Book, and (2) that every parish should have a good and able man as minister.
