Excerpt from A Collection of Articles of Religion, Canons, and Proceedings of Convocations in the Province of Canterbury, From the Year 1547 to the Year 1717, Vol. 1: With Notes Historical and Explanatory Hese Volumes contain such records of the Convocations holden for the province of Canterbury as appear to be important in connection with the government or the history of the Church of England from the time of the Reformation. They are naturally arranged under the three heads of Articles of faith, Canons and constitutions, Acts and proceedings, and may be considered as comprising all the valuable information respecting the legislature of the church, which it is now pos sible to obtain, as the earlier registers were destroyed in the great fire of 1666, and the printed records of subsequent times have been corrected and enlarged from the copious extracts made from the later registers by archbishop Wake.
