Summary

1 [110]. That the laws late made against the recusants be put in more due execution considering the benefit that hath grown unto the church thereby, where they have been so executed, and the encouragement which they and others do receive by remiss executing thereof.

2 [71]. That all preaching, reading, catechizing, and other suchlike exercises in private places and families, whereunto others do resort, being not of the same family, be utterly inhibited, seeing the same was never permitted as lawful, under any Christian magistrate, but is a manifest sign of schism, and a cause of contention in the church.

3 [56]. That none be permitted to preach, read, or catechize in the church or elsewhere, unless he do, four times in the year at least, say service, and minister the sacraments, according to the book of common prayer.

4 [58]. That all preachers, and others in ecclesiastical orders, do at all times wear and use such kind of apparel as is prescribed unto them by the Book of advertisements and her majesty's injunctions anno primo.

5 [49]. That none be permitted to preach, or interpret the Scriptures, unless he be a priest, or deacon at the least, admitted thereunto according to the laws of this realm.

6 [36]. That none be permitted to preach, read, catechize, minister the sacraments or to execute any other ecclesiastical function, by what authority soever he be admitted thereunto, unless he first consent and subscribe to these articles following, before the ordinary of the diocese wherein he preacheth, readeth, catechizeth or ministreth the sacraments, viz.:

A. That her majesty, under God, hath and ought to have the sovereignty and rule over all manner of persons born within her realms and dominions and countries, of what estate ecclesiastical or temporal soever they may be. And that none other foreign power, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority ecclesiastical or temporal within her majesty's said realms, dominions and countries.
