		To the liturgists uniformity was the safeguard necessary for the continued existence of the liturgy in England as the prayer of the Church; it ensured that clergy and laity alike were nourished on the riches of liturgical worship, a worship which is a sine qua non of the Christian life.

	On the Spiritual Thinning of the English
		The result of the act was that two thousand clergymen refused acceptance, which meant that one-fifth of the clergy of the Church of England lost their positions.
