The 5th of September 1547 began the king's visitation at St Paul's, and all the images were pulled down; and the 9th day of the same month the said visitation was at St Bride's, and after that in various other parish churches; and so all images pulled down through all England at that time, and all churches new white-limed, with the commandments on the walls. Adapted from the Chronicle of Grey Friars of London. Source B: The religious demands of the Western rebels, in response to the introduction of the 1549 Prayer Book.

Item, we will have holy bread and holy water every Sunday, palms and ashes at the accustomed time, Images set up again in every church. Item, we will not receive the new service because it is like a Christmas game, but will have our old service of Matins, mass, Evensong and procession in Latin.
