In the Second year, Images were taken down, and many Ancient Customs abolished; and a Book of Common-Prayer composed. All Col∣leges, Hospitals, &c. were given to the King.
In the Third year, a part of Pauls, and many Churches, were pulled down, to build Som∣merset House in the Strand. There were great Troubles and Commotions, both in Church, and State. The Book of Common-Prayer, composed in the former year, was now set out. Peter Martyr, and Bucer, came over.
In the Fourth year, one John a Lasco, a Po∣lonian, with his Sectaries, settled themselves here.
The great business of this year, was the taking down of Altars.
Until this following Fifth year, nothing had been Positively, and Dogmatically concluded in Points of Doctrine. Wherefore to set a stop to the great Confusions, that were at this time, there was a Book of Articles composed. And to satisfie the Calvinists, ther was a New Book of Common-Prayer set forth.
In the Sixth year, Hopkins Psalms be∣gan to be sung in Churches: And the use of the New Common-Prayer-Book made strange Alterations; but all in order to Calvin's designs: who had a chief hand in composing it.
