New article

[edit]

My beloved and under-appreciated 1604 prayer book finally gets the full article treatment. I hope to expand the article somewhat more, but this is enough to start! ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:39, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons why it was objectionable to the Puritans

[edit]

'The reaction to the 1604 prayer book from the Puritan party was sharply critical of both the newly authorized liturgy, baptismal regeneration, and kneeling to receive Communion.'

An explanation why the Puritans considered these things to be wrong and incompatible with their more general religious principles would be in order here. 87.126.21.225 (talk) 10:59, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

explained in Puritans article

[edit]

clarify|date=December 2022--Were there any "non-godly" ones? In other words, is the point of the adjective to separate them from another faction? If so, which one? If not, what is the point? And are these scare quotes, which would be prohibited by WP:NPOV? ... this is all explained in the WP article on Puritans, which is linked within this article. It doesn't need explanation here. -HammerFilmFan 2603:6080:2103:3FA2:E589:A3D2:868A:321C (talk) 12:52, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is explained in the main article is that they all called themselves 'godly', but this means that the phrase 'the "godly" Puritans of England' is tautological and that there *is* no point of the adjective, it's just superfluous. The fact that tautology is normally avoided is what made the sentence confusing. Thus, I've removed the adjective.--87.126.21.225 (talk) 09:19, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Adjective provides contemporary term, as "Puritan" is something of a later term in some contexts involved. Restoring it. ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:06, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
