Excerpt from Formularies of Faith: Put Forth by Authority; During the Reign of Henry Viz, Articles About Religion, 1536; The Institution of a Christian Man, 1537; A Necessary Doctrine and Erudition Fo Any Christian Man, 1543 Still, however, these documents, though they carry no authority along with them as formularies of faith, are of great importance to all, who are anxious to acquaint themselves with the rise and progress of the Protestant Opinions in this country, or who would examine critically into the history and intention of those formularies which were afterwards established, and are still of primary authority in the Church of England. It is in these works too that they may trace the last departure of that darkness, which had so long obscured the genuine form of Christianity, that they may hail the reappearance of the pure light of the gospel, and mark the first dawnings of a brighter day.
