To determine the order of the events you've mentioned regarding miracle plays in England, we can establish a timeline based on historical context:
1. **The council declared that the miracle plays should stop.** This likely refers to events in the late 15th century when councils took measures against miracle plays due to various concerns, including social order and morality.
2. **The plays being performed in York ceased.** The York mystery plays began to decline in the late 16th century, particularly around the time of the Protestant Reformation, when such plays were increasingly discouraged.
3. **The Guary miracle play in Cornwall ended.** The Guary play, which took place in the 19th century, was one of the later forms of mystery plays based on resurrection themes.
4. **The Coventry mystery plays were finally suppressed.** The Coventry mystery plays faced suppression during the English Reformation, but they saw a revival in later centuries. The final suppression occurred in the 17th century.
Based on this context, the second event chronologically would likely be:
**The plays being performed in York ceased.**
