What it is
A programme for a Christian commonwealth presented to Edward VI — poor relief, education, marriage law, and the reform of worship — written in English exile.
Why it lasted
The fullest Reformation blueprint for a Christian society, and its author's last work, composed at Cambridge where he died the following year.
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.
