Wherein the king provided remedies, and enacted in the same Parliament, that no man should be troubled for speaking any thing against the usurped power of the Bishop of Rome, or his laws, not grounded on the law of God.1 In this Parliament also, the decrees and provincial constitutions were committed to be examined of 32. persons, chosen by the king out of the higher and lower house, and at their discretions to be abrogated, or to stand in strength.
