3. ITEM, Whereas the chancellor and vicar general ⟨p. 512⟩to the said bishop, did upon a lawful title, and by the king's highness's supreme authority, admit and institute one John Gough into the rectory of Haskard with the appurtenances, and gave out in the king's name under his highness's seal ecclesiastical appointed for that office, with the test of the said bishop, and subscription of the said chancellor, a mandate to induct accordingly; by virtue whereof the said John Gough was inducted by the official there into the real possession of the same rectory, with the rights and appurtenances to the same belonging; whereupon the register of the said diocese, at the request of the aforesaid chancellor, did signify the premises, with all the circumstances, before divers persons to the fore-named bishop: who notwithstanding did institute and cause to be inducted, one Harry Goddard, unto the same parsonage, making no mention of the king's majesty's authority nor supremacy; in contempt and derogation of the same his highness's crown and dignity, and in extolling the foreign usurped authority, contrary to the form of the statute, &c.
4. ITEM, The said bishop, immediately after the unlawful institution and induction of Goddard, molested the said John Gough, lawfully instituted and inducted as before, citing him from place to place, objecting no matter unto him of long season, till at length he articled: so taking upon him the cognition of the title of the whole fruits and patronage, in contempt of the king's highness's regal crown and statutes of this realm.
5. ITEM, He hath commonly made his collations and institutions, as he did his first commission, in his own name and authority, without expressing the king's supremacy.
