... And be it further enacted by authority aforesaid, that from the Feast of Easter, which shall be in the year of our Lord God, 1534, no manner of appeals shall be had, provoked, or made out of this realm, or out of any of the King's Dominions, to the Bishop of Rome, nor to the See of Rome, in any causes or matters happening to be in contention, and having their commencement or beginning in any of the courts within this realm, or within any of the King's dominions, of what nature, condition, or quality soever they be of; but that all manner of appeals, of what nature or condition soever they be of, or what cause or matter soever they concern, shall be made and had by the parties agreed, or having cause of appeal, after such manner, form and condition, as is limited for appeals to be had and prosecuted within this realm in causes of matrimony, tithes, oblations and observations, by a statute made and established since the beginning of this present Parliament, and according to the form and effect of the said statute: any usage, custom, prescription or any thing or things to the contrary hereof notwithstanding. And for lack of justice at or in any the courts of the Archbishops of this realm, or in any the king's dominions, it shall be lawful to the parties grieved to appeal to the King's Majesty in the King's Court of Chancery; and that upon every such appeal, a commission shall be directed under the great seal to such persons as shall be named under the King's Highness, his heirs or successors, like as in case of appeal from the Admiral's Court, to hear and definitely determine such appeals and the causes concerning the same. Which commissioners, or appointed, shall have full power and authority to hear and so by the King's Highness, his heirs or successors, to be named definitively determine every such appeal, with the causes and all circumstances concerning the same; and that such judgement and sentence as the said commissioners shall make and decree, in and upon any such appeal, shall be good and effectual, and also definitive; and no further appeals to be had or made from the said commissioners for the same.
