During King Edward VI's brief years England saw the Six Articles repealed, priests allowed to marry, and the old Latin service of worship replaced by Thomas Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer in English. Under King Charles I and with the assistance of the Anglican Archbishop William Laud, the King insisted that worship in England be conducted according to the Prayer Book and no other. When Charles tried to force his brand of high-church on the Scots, John Milton called The Book of Common Prayer "the skeleton of a Mass-book."

An adviser to King Henry VIII, and eventually appointed to the post of Archbishop of Canterbury upon the formulation of the Anglican Church. His Book of Common Prayer in English replaced the old Latin service of worship. In 1553 Cranmer also produced the Forty-Two Articles which defined the faith of the Church of England along Protestant lines. When Mary ascended the throne she sent nearly 300 Protestants, including Archbishop Cranmer to the burning stake.

When King Henry VII died in 1547, his only son, frail ten-year-old Edward VI, followed his father to the throne. Edward's mother was Jane Seymour, whom Henry had married after he had executed Anne Boleyn on charges of adultery. During Edward's brief years England saw the Six Articles repealed, priests allowed to marry, and the old Latin service of worship replaced by Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer in English.
