On Henry VIII.'s divorce see POCOCK, _Records of the Reformation:
The Divorce, 1527-1553_, containing the original documents;
BURNET, _Hist. of the Reformation_, I, 26-123; GEARY, _Marriage
and Family Relations_, 596-602; THWING, _The Family_, 87;
WOOLSEY, _Divorce_, 168, 169; JEAFFRESON, _Brides and Bridals_,
I, 114, 124; II, 312 ff., who defends the king on the ground that
the pope did not grant him the indulgence which private citizens
constantly enjoyed, especially when they were able to pay for
it. There is a valuable bibliography of Henry's divorce in HUTH,
_Marriage of Near Kin_, 404-11.]

[Footnote 230: By 3 and 4 Ed. VI, c. 11. _Cf._ the account by
JEAFFRESON, _op. cit._, II, 317, 318.]
[Footnote 231: The report was published in 1571 under supervision
of Archbishop Parker; and then in an Oxford reprint of 1850:
WOOLSEY, _Divorce_, 170, note. I have followed the excellent
summary by JEAFFRESON, partly containing the Latin text: _op.
cit._, II, 318-23; and REEVES, _Hist. of Eng. Law_, V, 74-80,
gives a good analysis. _Cf._ also HALLAM, _Const. Hist._, I,
