“‘Tis true, the Hospitallers, Colleges and Chanteries, etc., were not yet dissolved.... These had large endowments to support themselves and to entertain Pilgrims,” etc. “But notwithstanding the King was declared to be the Supreme Head of the Church, yet these Hospitallers would not submit,” etc., “and therefore, Anno 32 _Hen. VIII. cap._ 24, The Parliament gave their lands to the King and dissolved their Corporation.” “The Colleges and Chanteries still remained; but the Doctrine of Purgatory being then grown out of Belief[33] and some of those Fraternities having resigned in the same manner as the Monasteries, the Endowments of the rest were then thought to be for no purpose, and therefore, _Anno_ 37 _Hen. VIII._, all these Colleges, Free Chapels, Chanteries, etc., were given to the King by Act of Parliament.” “Thus in the Compass of a few years, the Power and Authority of the See of _Rome_ was suppressed in this Kingdom. And because frequent Attempts have been made to revive it, therefore, in succeeding Times, several Laws have been made to keep them in subjection.” Among those were the following: Recusant Convict above 16 must go to his place of Abode and not remove 5 miles without license or otherwise abjure the Realm. Not departing within the time limited by the Justices, or returning without license from the Queen, was felony without Benefit of Clergy. 35 _Eliz. cap._ 2. “To absolve or to be absolved by Bulls from the Bishop of Rome was High Treason.” 13 _Eliz. cap._ 2. “Bringing an _Agnus Dei_ hither, or offering it to any Person to be used, both he and the Receiver incurs a _Premunire_.[34] 13 _Eliz. cap._ 2.

Bringing over Beads or offering them to any person, both he and the Receiver incur a Premunire. 13 _Eliz. cap._ 2. “Two Justices may search Houses for Books and Relicks, and burn them.” 3 _Jac. cap._ 5. “Every Popish Recusant must be buried in Church or Church yard according to the Ecclesiastical Laws, or his Executor or Administrator forfeits £20.” 3 _Jac. cap._ 5. “Children of Recusants must be baptized by a lawful Minister, or the Parent forfeits £100.” 3 _Jac. cap._ 5. “Popish Recusant, if he sue any person, the Defendant may plead it in Disability.” He “shall not be Executor, Administrator, or Guardian.” 3 _Jac. cap._ 5. A married woman, a Popish Recusant convict, “not conforming within 3 months after conviction, may be committed by two Justices until she conform, unless her Husband will pay to the King 10 shillings per month or a third part of his Lands.” 7 _Jac. cap._ 6. “Popish Recusant marrying otherwise than according to the Forms of the Church of England shall forfeit £100.
