Henry IV 1- SOARES II-3
Whereas,
it is shown to our sovereign lord the king on the advice of the
prelates and clergy of his realm of England in this present Parliament,
that although the Catholic faith builded upon Christ, and by his
apostles and the Holy Church, sufficiently determined, declared, and
approved, hath been hitherto by good and holy and most noble progenitors
and predecessors of our sovereign lord the king itl the said realm
amongst all the realms of the world most devoutly observed, and the
Church of England by his said most noble progenitors and ancestors, to
the honor of God and the whole realm aforesaid, laudably endowed and in
her rights and liberties sustained, without that the same faith or the
said church was hurt or grievously oppressed, or else perturbed by any
perverse doctrine or wicked, heretical, or erroneous opinions. Yet,
nevertheless, divers false and perverse people of a certain new sect, of
the faith of the sacraments of the church, and the authority of the
same damnably thinking and against the law of God and of the Church
usurping the office of preaching, do perversely and maliciously in
divers places within the said realm, under the color of dissembled
holiness, preach and teach these days openly and privily divers new
doctrines, and wicked heretical and erroneous opinions contrary to the
same faith and blessed determinations of the Holy Church, and of such
sect and wicked doctrine and opinions they make unlawful conventicles
and confederacies, they hold and exercise schools, they make and write
books, they do wickedly instruct and inform people, and as such they may
excite and stir them to sedition and insurrection, and make great
strife and division among the people, and other enormities horrible to
he heard daily do perpetrate and commit subversion of the said catholic
faith and doctrine of the Holy Church, in diminution of divine Worship,
and also in destruction of the estate, rights, and liberties of the said
Church of England; by which sect and wicked and false preachings,
doctrines, and opinions of the said false and perverse people, not only
most greatest peril of the sou1s, hut also many more other hurts,
slanders, and perils, which God prohibit, might come to this realm,
unless it he the more plentifully and speedily holpen by the King’s
majesty in this behalf; especially since the diocesans of the said realm
cannot by their jurisdiction spiritual, without aid of the said royal
majesty, sufficiently correct the said false and perverse people, nor
refrain their malice, because the said false and perverse people do go
from diocese to diocese and will not appear before the said diocesans,
but the same diocesans and their jurisdiction spiritual, and the keys of
the church with the censures of the same, do utterly condemn and
despise; and so their wicked preachings and doctrines do from day to day
continue and exercise to the utter destruction of all order and rule of
right and reason. Upon which novelties and excesses above rehearsed,
the prelates and clergy aforesaid, and also the Commons of the said
realm being in the same Parliament, have prayed our sovereign lord the
king that his royal highness would vouchsafe in the said Parliament to
provide a convenient remedy. The same our sovereign lord the king,
graciously considering the premises, and also the laudable steps of his
said most noble progenitors and ancestors, for the conservation of the
said catholic faith and sustentation of the said divine worship, and
also the safeguard of the estate, rights and liberties of the said
Church of England, to the laud of God and merit of our said sovereign
lord the king, and prosperity and honor of all his said realm, and for
the eschewing of such dissensions, divisions, hurts, slanders, and
perils, in time to come, and that this wicked sect, preachings,
doctrines, and opinions, should from henceforth cease and he utterly
destroyed; by the assent of the great lords and other noble persons of
the said realm, being in the said Pariament, hatth granted, established,
and ordained, from henceforth firmly to be observed, that none within
the said realm or any other dominions subject to his Roval Majesty,
presume to preach openly or privily, without the license of the diocesan
of the same place first required and obtained, curates in their own
churches and persons hitherto privileged, and other of the Canon Law
granted, only except; nor that none from henceforth anything preach,
hold, teach, or instruct openly or privily, or make or write any book
contrary to the catholic faith or determination of the Holy Church, nor
of such sect and wicked doctrines and opinions shall make any
conventicles, or in any wise hold or exercise schools; and also that
none from henceforth in any wise favor such preacher or maker of any
such and like conventicles, or persons holding or exercising schools, or
making or writing such books, or so teaching, informing, or exciting
the people, nor any of them maintain or in any wise sustain, and that
all and singular having such books or any writings of such wicked
doctrine and opinions, shall really with effect deliver or cause to be
delivered all such books and writings to the diocesan of the same place
within forty days from the time of the proclamation of this ordinance
and statute.
And
if any person or persons of whatsoever sex, estate, or condition that
he or they be, from henceforth do or attempt against the said royal
ordinance and statute aforesaid in the premises or any of them, or such
books in the form aforesaid do not deliver, then the diocesan of the
same place in his diocese such person or persons in this behalf defamed
or evidently suspected and every of them may by the authority of the
said ordinance and statute cause to be arrested and under safe custody
in his prison to be detained till he or they of the articles laid to him
or them in this behalf do canonically purge him or themselves, or else
such wicked sect, preachings, doctrines and heretical and erroneous
opinions do abjure, according as the laws of the Church do demand and
require.
And
if any person within the said realms and dominions, upon the said
wicked preachings, doctrines, opinions, schools, and heretical and
erroneous informations, or any of them be before the diocesan of the
same place or his commissaries convict by sentence, and the same wicked
sect, preachings, doctrines and opinions, schools and informations, AND
IN FOR MASON'S....DA LOJA MOZART
do
refuse duly to abjure, or by the diocesan of the same place or his
commissaries, after the abjuration made by the same person be pronounced
relapsed, so that according to the holy canons he ought to be left to
the secular court (upon which credence shall be given to the diocesan of
the same place or to his commissaries in this behalf), then the sheriff
of the county of the same place, and mayor and sheriffs, or sheriff, or
mayor and bailiffs of the city, town, and borough of the same county
next to the same diocesan or the said commissaries, shal1 be personally
present in preferring of such sentences, when they by the same diocesan
or his comissaries shall be required; and they the same persons and
every of them, after such sentence promulgate shall receive, and them
before the people in an high place cause to be burnt, that such
punishment may strike fear into the minds of others, whereby,nosuch
wicked doctrine and heretical and erroneous opinions, nor their authors
and fautors, in the said realm and dominions, against the Catholic
faith, Christian law, and determination of the holy church, which God
prohibit, be sustained or in any way suffered; in which all and singular
the premises concerning the said ordinance and statute, the sheriffs,
mayors' and bailiffs of the said counties, cities, boroughs and towns
shall be attending, aiding, and supporting to the said diocesans and
their commissaries
