Bullinger, at the very center of the reform movement, was influenced by Luther, Melanchthon, Zwingli and Calvin. Before Elizabeth, he was a correspondent of Henry VIII and Edward VI. The work at hand was prepared by Bullinger as Elizabeth’s reply to the Papal Bull of 1570 by Pius V which excommunicated Elizabeth and placed her realm under papal interdict.
