The Act of Uniformity 1552 (5 & 6 Edw. 6. c. 1) required the use of the Book of Common Prayer of 1552; The Act of Uniformity 1558 (1 Eliz. 1. c. 2), adopted on the accession of Elizabeth I; The Act of Uniformity 1662 (14 Cha. 2. c. 4), enacted after the restoration of the monarchy; The Act of Uniformity (Explanation) Act 1663 (15 Cha. 2. c. 6)
The Act of Uniformity required church attendance on Sundays and holy days and imposed fines for each day absent. It authorized the 1559 prayer book, which effectively restored the 1552 prayer book with some modifications. [33] The Litany in the 1552 book had denounced "the bishop of Rome, and all his detestable enormities". [31]

[99] Centuries later, the 1549 prayer book would become popular among Anglo-Catholics. Nevertheless, Cranmer biographer Diarmaid MacCulloch comments that this would have "surprised and probably distressed Cranmer". [52]
In the 1552 edition of the Book of Common Prayer, the Black Rubric was written as follows (italics added for emphasis): Although no order can be so perfectly devised, but it may be of some, either for their ignorance and infirmity, or else of malice and obstinacy, misconstrued, depraved, and interpreted in a wrong part: And yet because brotherly charity willeth, that so much as conveniently ...
