During the reign of Edward VI, Protestant influence, especially from Reformed sources, infiltrated the Church of England through Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley, Martin Bucer, et al., and it is proper to see these precursors of the Elizabethan Settlement as, in a sense, a first wave of English primitivistic concern.

Despite Wesley's efforts to keep his movement staunchly grounded in the Church of England, the progressive nature of his reforms created conflict wherever he perceived the Christianity of the ancient church to be different from the church of his day.

 JOHN WESLEY AND THE ISSUE OF AUTHORITY IN THEOLOGICAL PLURALISM
Yet, Wesley borrowed from the Church of England an Article of Religion on the sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures that was written during the Reformation Age and included the Articles for the Methodist Church of America which appears to align him with the Classical Protestant position regarding the final authority of the Scripture.
I teach the doctrines which are comprised in those Articles and Homilies to which all the clergy of the Church of England solemnly profess to assert, and that in their plain, unforced, grammatical meaning.
The fact that the Scripture was recognized in the Church of England as the final authority in all matters of doctrine and practice was certainly not lost upon the conscientious young Wesley as he pored over the Articles of Religion in preparation for his ordination.
