This statute repealed1 all the statutes made in the time king Henry the viij. for Premunire, and statutes made in king Edward the vj. time, for the administration of common bread, and the Sacraments in the English tongue. In this mean while, many men were forward in erecting of Altars, and Masses in Churches: and such as would stick to the Laws made in K. Edwards time, till other were established, some of them were marked, and some presently apprehended. Among whom, sir James Hales, 2a knight in kent, and Justice in the common place, was one. Who notwithstanding he had ventured his life in Q. Mary's cause, yet, for that he did at a Quarter Sessions, give charge upon the statutes made in king Edwards time, and Henry the eight, for the supremacy, and religion, he was imprisoned in the Marshalsea, Counter, and Fleet, and so cruelly handled, and put in fear by talk, that he thought to rid himself out of his life, by wounding him self with a knife: and afterward was contented to say what they willed him. Whereupon, he was discharged: but after that he never rested,3 till he had drowned him self in a River, half a mile from his house in Kent.
