Parliament has abolished the usurped jurisdiction of the Bishop of Rome in this realme and has conferred on the King the title of ‘ supreme hed in erthe immediatly under god of the churche of Englande which title the bishops and clergy in convocation have recognized under hand and seal. The bishops have been commanded not only to preach con- cerning this to their people, but to see that their subordinates do the same, proclaiming this title every Sunday and high feast in the year. Schoolmasters are to instruct their children in this matter, and to erase all mention of the Bishop of Rome from Mass and all other Church books. The Sheriffs are to make diligent inquiry and report to the King and Council the way in which the bishop and other ecclesiastics have carried out this duty. The responsibility laid on them by their office is great, and the King expects diligent per- formance of it. Antiq. 1 (78). B.M. Facs. Wilkins iii. 772 ; Fox, from Lend. Keg., Bonner f. 42.

All persons with any writing or book containing a sermon of the said late traitor, or any slander on the King or his authority, or repugnant to the statutes made for the royal succession or abolishing the papal authority, are to deliver them within 40 days to the Lord Chancellor or to Thomas Crumwell Chief Secretary and Master of the Rolls. All mayors &c. to use their best endeavours to bring in all such books. Pardoners who go about declaring indulgences and pardons, and gathering much money, are often confederate with the errant thieves of the kingdom, giving them information of the richest men. They spend their money in ribaldry and carnal vice, ‘carienge aboute with them drabbes, hoores, and cutte purses.’ No person henceforth is to publish any pardon or indulgence, nor receive any money on that ac- count. Justices are to arrest ‘ vagaraunt ’ pardoners and cause them to be whipped as ‘valiant beggers and vaga- boundes’. [No. 121, q. v.] Antiq. 1 (79). B.M. Facs. See Cal. S.P. 8. 55, 147. 155.
