Excerpt from A History of the Convocation of the Church of England From the Earliest Period to the Year 1742<br><br>Subsequent to this reign, the history of the Convocation embraces almost the entire history of the Church, since all the principal matters were considered and settled in that assembly. Every important circumstance in our ecclesiastical history, there fore, will be noticed in this volume, especially those which have any connexion with our formularies, and the canons by which the Anglican Church is governed. I refer the reader especially to the account of the proceedings in Convocation in 1603 on the canons, and to those of 1661 on the Book of Common Prayer.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
