In 1595, in England at least, there was no Calvinist consensus regarding the doctrine of predestination and the laying aside of the Lambeth Articles was a missed opportunity. The church in England had a chance to clarify what Calvinists believed about predestination by accepting these Articles. Their failure made the debates of 1618-1619 at Dordt and the 1640s debates at Westminster absolutely necessary.
Thanks to D. Philip Veitch at the Reformation Anglicanism blog for referring me to this link. I have chose to link to the PDF version of the article for easier readability.
