In the 39 articles of faith, article 35 says the following: > XXXV. Of the Homilies. The Second Book of Homilies, the several > titles whereof we have joined under this Article, doth contain a godly > and wholesome Doctrine, and necessary for these times, as doth the > former Book of Homilies, which were set forth in the time of Edward > the Sixth; and therefore we judge them to be read in Churches by the > Ministers, diligently and distinctly, that they may be understanded of > the people. ([Articles of Religion](http://anglicansonline.org/basics/thirty-nine_articles.html)) It then goes on to list the name of the homilies. What is "The Second Book of Homilies" that it is referring to?
