What it is
Doctrinal articles combining Reformed teaching on scripture, justification, and predestination with a conservative retention of episcopacy and the creeds.
Why it lasted
The doctrinal standard of Anglicanism, drawn with deliberate breadth so that it could be signed by people who disagreed.
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.
