The application of the 1828 and 1829 acts to Irish acts was uncertain and so the Test Abolition Act 1867 (30 & 31 Vict. c. 62) repeated the 1829 repeal more explicitly. [13] The 1661, 1672 and 1678 acts were repealed by the Promissory Oaths Act 1871, the Statute Law Revision Act 1863 and the Parliamentary Oaths Act 1866 respectively. [1]
On 27 September 1650, the Act was repealed by the Rump Parliament of the Commonwealth of England with the "Act for the Repeal of several Clauses in Statutes imposing Penalties for not coming to Church", [3] but this Act was rendered null and void with the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660.

The Act also required that the Book of Common Prayer "be truly and exactly Translated into the British or Welsh Tongue". It also explicitly required episcopal ordination for all ministers, i.e. deacons, priests and bishops, which had to be reintroduced since the Puritans had abolished many features of the Church during the Civil War.
The Act of Uniformity that introduced the 1559 prayer book had also required conformity to it and mandated Sunday attendance, with fines for all those who failed to attend. [ 46 ] [ note 7 ] Of roughly 9,400 Church of England clergy, around 189 refused the 1559 prayer book on adoption and were deprived of their benefices . [ 48 ]
