 GIVE A FULL ACCOUNT OF THE WORK OF THOMAS CROMWELL
Cromwell’s injunction of 1536 commanded that: the young should be taught the articles of faith and the decalogue in English; clerics should avoid superstitious devotions, card-playing and alehouses; rich clergy should give generously to higher education and to the poor; and children should be taught a trade to avoid begging.
Cromwell’s championing of the English Bible seems to come from a genuine conviction that the Scriptures should be available to all in the vernacular.
This is evidenced in Cromwell’s lifetime but became even more significant in the reigns of Edward VI and Elizabeth I. Cromwell’s injunctions of 1536 and 1538 were clearly reforming and seem to echo Erasmus (whom he greatly admired) in their concern for lay participation and education.

 Modern History Sourcebook: Thomas Macauley: On Oliver Cromwell
Cromwell made haste to organize the whole army on the same principles on which he had organized his own regiment.
But such was the intelligence, the gravity, and the self-command of the warriors whom Cromwell had trained, that in their camp a political organization and a religious organization could exist without destroying military organization.
It is acknowledged by the most zealous royalists that, in that singular camp, no oath was heard, no drunkenness or gambling was seen, and that, during the long dominion of the soldiery, the property of the peaceable citizen and the honor of woman were held sacred.
