By William Whittingham and Edward Arber

Book Overview

""A Brief Discourse of the Troubles Begun at Frankfort: In the Year 1554, About the Book of Common Prayer and Ceremonies"" is a historical account written by William Whittingham and originally published in 1846. The book chronicles the religious conflicts that arose in Frankfort, Germany in 1554, when a group of English exiles attempted to establish a Protestant church using the Book of Common Prayer. The conflicts centered around disagreements over the use of certain ceremonies and liturgical practices, and ultimately led to a split within the English exiles community. Whittingham, who was a key figure in the events at Frankfort, provides a detailed and firsthand account of the events, including the arguments and debates that took place, as well as the political and social context in which they occurred. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the English Reformation, and sheds light on the complex and often contentious relationships between different Protestant groups during this period of religious upheaval.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
