Excerpt from The Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England, Vol. 1 of 2 It will be seen, then, that the thirty-nine Articles do not stand alone; nor can they be rightly interpreted without reference to various other documents belonging to the same age, or without some knowledge of their history. Not only are they the last of a series of formularies of faith, issued with more or less authority by the English Church during the course of the Befor mation, but also, in order to be rightly understood, they require comparison with other, not altogether dissimilar, forms put forth elsewhere.
