When the said visitation was put in a readiness, before the Commissioners should proceed in their voyage, the said Archb. sent for the said Register his man unto Hampton Court, and willed him in any wise to make notes of certain things in the said visitation: whereof he gave unto him instruction,1 having then further talk with him touching the good effect and success of the said visitation. Upon which occasion the Register said unto his master the Archbishop: I do remember that you not long ago, caused me to conceive and write letters, which king Henry the 8. should have signed and directed unto your grace, and the Archbishop of York, for the reformation of certain enormities in the churches, as taking down of the roods, and forbidding of ringing on Alhalow night, and such like vain ceremonies. Which letters your grace sent to the Court to be signed by the kings Majesty, but as yet I think that there was never any thing done therein.
