During the first twenty three years of Queen Elizabeth's reign. In which period of time there is little of the ecclesiastical history of this nation extant. Wherein accounts are given of our bishops from year to year; and of their cares and diligence in the government of their several sees: and the difficulties and discouragements they often met with in the discharge thereof: the oppositions and endeavours of the Romanists, and other disaffected parties and factions, to undermine the church and its constitution: and what courses were taken with them from time to time; for the safety of the Queen, and the preservation of the church established. Also, what was done in Parliaments, (chiefly with respect to religion) convocations, ecclesiastical commissions, and episcopal visitations. Together with various other matters intermixed, relating to the state of learning in the universities, and to civil and political affairs of remarks; falling with in the aforesaid compass of years; serving to rectify mistakes, and to supply many deficiencies in our histories.

Papers of state, letters, records, registers, and other authentick Mss. preserved in the publck, as well as private archives, and libraries in this kingdom. With an appendix of near an hundred of those originals, examplisied at length; referred in the foregoing history. By John Strype, M.A.
