Excerpt from A Brief Discourse of the Troubles Begun at Frankfort in the Year 1554: About the Book of Common Prayer and Ceremonies
The author, in the preface, refers to a sermon preached at St. Paul's Cross, in November, 1573, by D. Yonge, and after wards to another sermon at the same place, in October, 1573, by M. Mullins. The former of these was probably Dr. John Young, Bishop of Rochester; the latter, whose name appears in the present work, was an exile during the reign of Mary, and officiated as Greek Reader at Frankfort. At a subsequent period, we find him mentioned as Archdeacon of London, Canon Residentiary of St. Paul's, and Rector of Booking. (strype's Whitgift, i. 245, sub anno These sermons appear never to have been printed; or, if they were, have become lost; which is to be regretted, because they might, and especially the latter, have given some facts or allusions to enable us to identify the author of the Brief Discourse. From the statement in the Preface, it is evident, that for some especial'purpose a detail of the unhappy disturbances which had occurred at Frankfort, was given by M. Mullins in this sermon. That it was not entirely favourable to the party of the author of the Brief Discourse is certain, because he says, So I in this discours, thought it needefull, least hap pelie that honorable audiéce might mistake the matter, to set fourthe by writinge the verie order, maner, and proceadinge off the same.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the religious controversies that shook a group of exiled English Protestants in the mid-16th century. During the reign of Queen Mary, these refugees established a congregation in Frankfurt, Germany, where they sought to practice their faith freely. However, internal conflicts arose over the use of the English Book of Common Prayer, leading to fierce debates about the role of liturgy and ceremonies in worship. The author, deeply immersed in these events, provides a firsthand account of the tensions that erupted within the congregation, influenced by the wider theological and political debates of the Reformation. The book offers insights into the complexities of religious belief, the challenges of maintaining unity in exile, and the power of personal convictions in shaping religious communities. Through detailed historical analysis and vivid storytelling, this book sheds light on a crucial chapter in the history of Protestantism, exploring the enduring questions of religious freedom, the nature of worship, and the limits of compromise in matters of faith.
