One more  reason people were
infuriated by "the new prayer book."
 
Anglicans have always been infuriated by new prayer books:
 
 
<<<We  wyll haue the masse in Latten, as  was before. 

We  wyll haue the Sacrament hang Oller the hyeghe aulter, and  there to be 
worshypped  as it was wount to be, and they whiche will not thereto  
consent, we 
wyll  haue them dye lyke heretykes against the Holy Catholyque fayth.  

We  wyll haue . . . images to be set vp again in euery church, and all   
other 
auncient  olde Ceremonyes vsed heretofore, by our mother the holy Church.  

We  wyll not receyue the newe seruyce because it is but lyke a Christmas  
game,  but we wyll haue oure old seruice of Mattens, masse, Euensong and  
procession  in Latten as it was before.>>>>
