Description: Following the Hampton Conference between Church of England and Puritan parties under the supervision of King James I of England, a revised edition of the Book of Common Prayer was created and adopted. This is the proclamation from King James I establishing it was the uniform liturgy of the Church of England. Due to convention, the document is dated to 1603 on the succeeding page (not shown), but was in fact published 5 March 1604. This image of the proclamation was published in a 1949 history of the Book of Common Prayer; it has been cropped only to include the original document.
