 The articles required

The articles were reluctantly accepted by the General Assembly of the Church at Perth in 1618, and were not ratified by the Scottish Parliament until 1621.The approving Act was repealed by the Confession of Faith Ratification Act 1690.In 1619 the Pilgrims who were in exile in Leiden published a critical tract about the Five Articles, entitled the "Perth Assembly", which nearly led to William Brewster's arrest.
