Edward the VI was the King of England for only 6 years, yet he managed to use those brief years to set the roots of the Reformation deep into the heart soil of his countrymen. His influence and writings kept the flickering flame of biblical reform burning during a dark time. The legacy of Edward the VI was one of the main reasons England became such a staunch Protestant nation. The fragrance of his life lingered long after his death. N. A. Woychuk PB 208 pg.
