publicly on Whitsun Day, June 9, 1549. Derived as it was from the ancient Liturgies, the Daily Services stood as they had done in the Breviary, with this difference, that the people possessed them in the vernacular. Though these reforms had been ordered by Edward VI. in Council

, under the authority of the Will of Henry VIII., and had received the fullest consideration of Convocation, the Puritan party, led on by foreign Protestants, whom the King had advanced to chairs of Theology at Cambridge and Oxford, immediately opposed them, the result of this interference being the suppression of the First Prayer Book and the issue of the Second (November 1, 1552). Of this latter, it may be said to have hardly come into use, Edward having died July 6, 1553, and the accession of Mary having brought the Roman party again into power. Under such varied conditions it is, at the first glance, surprising to find that most of the incumbents retained their benefices at the Visitation of 1554, aided in many cases by the same Church wardens and inquisitores as at the earlier date. It would be unfair to attribute this state of affairs to ignorance or indifference. The Convocation of York had, during the reign of Henry VIII., concurred with the Southern province in the solemn renunciation of the Papal supremacy, and, therefore,

be supposed that those who adhered to the “Old Learning" rested contentedly in the positions to which they had been called, while those who inclined to the “New Learning” were willing to occupy the place of inquirers only, the time to dogmatize not having arrived, and thus they too remained, with the full approval of their consciences. Probably the strain was beginning to make itself felt when the later Visitation was held, and a pursuance of the history of the Archdeaconry through the next six years would shew a very marked difference. The latter part of the year 1548 witnessed the dissolution of the Yorkshire Chantries, the alienation of their lands, and the ejection from employment of their clergy; in the lists for that year the chantry priests are found presenting themselves with the parochial clergy, and I am able in many instances to give the last disposition made by them of their small worldly belongings.”
