Summary
"At the King's first entry, being importuned by sundry ministers concerning the doctrine and discipline of the Church, he summoned an assembly by Proclamation in October last, which was held at Hampton Court in January. These complaints were found baseless, nevertheless he commissioned the Archbishop of Canterbury under Great Seal to make necessary explanations, and to publish the Book of Common Prayer with these explanations. This being now done, every parish must procure one of the said books, as no further change in the order will be made" -- Crawford.
