Hannah Adams

“ Under the king, the church of England is governed by two archbishops and twenty four bishops. The various grades among the clergy are styled, deans, archdeacons, rectors, vicars, &c.
The liturgy was introduced in the reign of Edward VI, and re-established in that of Elizabeth, with some few alterations. During the reign of this queen, the thirty nine articles were also established. It has been generally held by most, if not all Calvinists, both in and out of the establishment, that the doctrinal articles of the English church are Calvinistic. ”

“ Adam, "seem to understand the articles exclusively in their own sense. But as some of our reformers were inclined to Calvinism, and others to Arminianism, it is, perhaps, more natural to believe with some of our ablest divines, that the thirty-nine articles were framed with comprehensive latitude, and that neither Calvinism, nor Arminianism was meant to be exclusively established. ”
