Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What did Puritans want from the Church of England?

    Model answer

    A further reformation that would strip out the ceremonies, vestments and structures they regarded as remnants of popery, and a preaching ministry in every parish.

  2. 2

    Why did the Marian exiles matter to the growth of Puritanism?

    Model answer

    Protestants who had spent Mary's reign in Geneva, Zurich and Frankfurt returned with experience of fully reformed churches and expected England to follow them.

  3. 3

    Where did Puritanism find its main support?

    Model answer

    Among university men and preachers, sections of the gentry and merchant classes, and in London, East Anglia and the south-east, with sympathisers on the Privy Council.

  4. 4

    Describe the vestiarian controversy.

    Model answer

    The dispute of the mid-1560s over whether clergy must wear the surplice and prescribed vestments, which Puritan ministers regarded as popish and some refused.

  5. 5

    State what Parker's Advertisements of 1566 required.

    Model answer

    Archbishop Parker's directions enforcing the required clerical dress and uniform practice in worship, which led to the suspension of ministers who would not comply.

  6. 6

    How did Elizabeth herself treat demands for further reformation?

    Model answer

    She refused to allow any alteration of the settlement, treating it as her own prerogative in religion and resisting attempts by Parliament or clergy to reopen it.
