From the narrow majority by which the House of Commons lately rejected the Revised Book of Common Prayer it has been argued—by Bishops Barnes and Welldon and Sir William Joynson Hicks—that the English nation still remains Protestant at heart and loyal to the Reformation.

It finds that the New Prayer Book was favoured by a considerable majority of the Members representing English constituencies. The groups representing Ulster, Scotland and Wales all disapproved of the new Book with overwhelming majorities.
