1. Doctrinal
Henry VIII;
● 10 Articles 1536:
○ Shows move towards Protestantism but there is great compromise shown in
ambiguity of eucharist, Confession was praised (Catholic), only 3 sacraments
(Lutheran),
● 1537 Bishop’s Book→ restored 4 sacraments, omitted from 10 Articles
● Moderate Lutheran ideas under Cranmer
● 1538 Injunctions- introduced Protestant practises→ each Church requires
English Bible, first Great Bible appeared 1539
● 6 Articles→ reassured Catholic doctrine- states that denial of
transubstantiation was heretical

● First Act of Uniformity- Services conducted in English, English Bible, only 5

○ H/E- there was still transubstantiation and Cranmer's Book of Common
Prayer still had some Catholic belief e.g. no clear statement of existence of
purgatory,
○ Proclamations 1548→ reassured Catholic opinion
● CC: Under Northumberland these were corrected in the Second Act of Uniformity-
eucharist clearly defined- consubstantiation, no Popish vestments.
● In New Prayer Book- all traces of Catholicism and mass had been removed- only
based on scriptures
-Overall Edward’s doctrinal changes were very protestant. Successful in implementing main
