Under Northumberland 1550-53
Lord President- achieved more because of his drive, determination and his use of privy council.
New Ordinal for ordination of priests emphasised importance of preaching.
His Privy Council reforms carry weight; Second English Prayer Book 1552-highlighted new Protestant rules such as removal of alters and Catholic doctrine like transubstantiation.
Northumberland attempts long term change; Forty-two Articles 1553- stressed importance of bible and Protestant doctrine like Predestination; the belief that God had already chosen who would be saved. Ignored by the mumbling bishops and priests clinging to the Catholic mass.
Somerset and Northumberland were seemingly contradictory, confusing people.
