Annals of the Reformation and establishment of religion, and other various occurences in the Church and State of England, from the Accession of Queen Elizabeth to the Crown, Anno 1558. to the Commencement of the Reign of King James I. Wherein Account is given of the Restoring of Religion from its Corruptions introduced under Queen Mary; of filling the Sees with Protestant Bishops; their Government of and Inspection into their respective Dioceses, as Matters requiring their Care fell out each Year; Ecclesiastical Commissions; of the famous Synod assembled in the Year MDLXII. and the Proceedings of, and Speeches in the several Parliaments and Convocations within that Period; the busy Actings of Papists and Puritans; and of the first Appearances of the Dissention from the Church Established. The Difficulties and Dangers which the State, as well as the Church, met with from Time to Time, occasioned chiefly from the Endeavours to overthrow both, by the Power and Practices of such as favoured Mary Queen of Scots, of whom many special Transactions, and chiefly of her Sentence and Death, and the Consequences thereof, are shewn; and the Spanish Invasion in 1588. serving to enlighten those great Crises of Queen Elizabeth's Reign.
