The Reformation · 1572

An Admonition to the Parliament

John Field and Thomas Wilcox

Read elsewhere

What it is

A demand that England abolish bishops, the prayer book's ceremonies, and clerical vestments, and adopt a presbyterian discipline instead.

Why it lasted

The opening of English Presbyterianism as an organised movement, and the start of the controversy that produced Hooker's reply.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
