Following Henry's break with Rome, several statements were issued defining the doctrine of the English Church. Also known as the King's Book, this work was issued under Henry's name in 1543. It had evolved from The Institution of a Christian Man, which had been published under the supervision of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury. In this new publication, Henry again asserted the presence of seven sacraments, as he had done against Luther in his publication, the 'Assertio Septem Sacramentorum' of 1521.
