Summary
Certain articles desired to be granted [in substance] by the queen's majesty.
1. First, for that unity in the doctrine of Christ's religion is the redress readiest and the surest means to join God's people and the queen's subjects in durable concord, we think it necessary to put out one book, containing articles of doctrine, and to be drawn out of the substance of the book of the Apology, set out by the queen's authority, and that such as shall hold any assertion to the contrary may be reformed and punished by the ordinaries, by the queen ‘ ecclesiastical laws, in such sort as by the said laws hath been provided against errors and or heresies.
2. Item, as there is one uniform grammar prescribed throughout the schools of the whole realm, so there may be authorized one perfect catechism drawn, to the bringing up of the youth in godliness in the said schools, which book is well nigh finished by the industry of the dean of [St] Paul's. And that the same catechism, being once approved by the learned of the convocation house, may be authorized to be taught also by in the universities, and to the youth wheresoever they be taught their grammar in any private men's houses.
3. Item, for that the choice of chapters may be better considered in the book of service and that certain rules and rubrics in the said book of common prayer concerning certain rites, etc. some few imperfections escaped in the book of service, as well in choice of the chapters as of the psalms, with other such things concerning the rites and ceremonies in the church, may be reduced to edification as nigh as may be to edification and to the godly purity and simplicity used in the primitive church, the whole substance of the said book notwithstanding remaining untouched.
4. Item, that ministers may be enjoined to wear one grave prescribed form in extern[al] apparel5; and such as have ecclesiastical living, not agreeing to the same, to be discharged upon after three monitions of the ordinary of that living.
