- Martin Marpelate Tracts printed in 1588 and 1589 were a last desperate attempt to reassert Presbyterianism against the Elizabethan church. Criticised prominent Bishops and Elizabethan clergy.
- The Church became more active in it's own defence. Largely undermined the Puritan movement for the excessive criticisms.
