Jasper, R.C.D. & Cuming, G.J. (1990). "Ch. 31: The Order of Communion 1548." (pp. 226-231). In Prayers of the Eucharist: Early and Reformed. 3rd Edition, Revised and Enlarged. Collegeville, MN: The Liturgical Press. (Personal Library)
In 1547, Jasper and Cuming describe revisions to the Latin Mass made in England. The Epistle and Gospel were read in the vernacular and communion was given in both kinds. In March of 1548, "a commission of bishops and scholars" produced an Order of Communion, providing the needed rubrics (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 226). In general, this material followed the work of Hermann von Wied closely. Actual sentences used were drawn from a wide variety of sources, though their actual origins may be difficult to trace (Jasper & Cuming 1990, p. 227). Of special note is the instruction for communion in both kinds and a desire for frequent communion.
After a brief bibliography (Jasper & Cuming 1990, pp. 227-228), Jasper and Cuming provide the eucharistic portion of the order.
