Some measure of the revolution effected by the Puritan movements in Reformed worship can be seen in the contrast with the French experience. When the storm troopers of the Counter-Reformation drove the Huguenots by the thousands into exile abroad in the 1680’s, many were brought into contace with the churches of England and her American colonies. Although they were scarcely prepared to accept the Arminianism introduced by the court into Anglicanism in the 1620’s and [that was] virtually official since the Restoration, they found the worship of the English Presbyterians and Congregationalists equally alien. In worship, the Book of Common Prayer seemed closer to the Calvinist heritage than did anti-liturgical Puritanism.
