Following Englands split from Rome in 1534, the need arose for a unified order of worship in English, replacing the traditional Latin. The first BCP was introduced in 1549 during Edward VIs reign, then abolished under Mary I, only to be reinstated with modifications by Elizabeth I in 1559. The English Civil War (1642–1651) saw it banned again, before a significant revision brought it back under James I in 1662. This 1662 version became the enduring legal foundation for Anglican worship in England until the 1970s, although some of its more anti-Catholic elements were removed in 1859. Many phrases from the BCP, such as to have and to hold and ashes to ashes, have woven themselves into everyday language.
