John Knox and the Reformation

CHAPTER IV: KNOX IN ENGLAND: THE BLACK RUBRIC: EXILE: 1549-1554
5/19

The Second Prayer Book of Edward VI.

was then in such forwardness that Parliament had appointed it to be used in churches, beginning on November 1.

The book included the command to kneel at the Lord's Supper, and any agitation against the practice might seem to be too late.

Cranmer, the Primate, was in favour of the rubric as it stood, and on October 7, 1552, addressed the Privy Council in a letter which, without naming Knox, clearly shows his opinion of our Reformer.
