Cessation of the Protestant effort to reform the Church of England as a Protestant church.
Unification of the Roman Catholics and Protestant under Anabaptist doctrine and practice.

Answer 1

Reconfiguration of the Church of England as a “middle way” between Roman Catholic and Protestant doctrine and practice.

Briefly: the Elizabethan Settlement (Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity, 1559) established Elizabeth as Supreme Governor, set a single Book of Common Prayer and moderate doctrine and worship, retaining bishops and some traditional ceremony while affirming Protestant theology — a via media meant to reconcile rivals and stabilize the realm. It did not restore papal authority, did not impose Anabaptist beliefs, and while it restricted and penalized recusancy, it was not an absolute wholesale prohibition of all Catholic belief.
