 The book contained a programme of parish based reformation that would use the resources of the old church to pay a network of ministers, a parish based school system, university education, and arrangements for poor relief.However, the proposal for the use of church wealth were rejected and under an Act of Council, which kept two-thirds in the hands of its existing owners and even the remaining third had to be shared with the Crown.The result was an abandonment of the educational programme, ministers remained poorly paid and the church was underfunded.
