IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN. by the authority and commission of the most excellent Prince HENRY by the grace of god king of ENGLAND and of FRAVNCE, defensor of the faith, lord of Ireland, and in earth supreme heed under Christ of the Church of England. I Thomas lord Crumwell, lord Privy seal, vicegerent to the kings said highness, for all his jurisdiction ecclesiastical within this Realm, do for th'advancement of the true honour of almighty god, increase of virtue, and discharge of the kings majesty grew and exhibit (unto you) _____ these injunctions following, to be kept, observed, and fulfilled upon the pains hereafter declared.  
¶ first THAT ye shall truly observe and keep all and singular the kings highness Injunctions, given unto you heretofore in my name, by his graces authority, not only upon the pains therein expressed, but also in your default now after this second monition continued, upon further punishment to be straightly extended towards you by the kings highness arbitrement, or his vicegerent aforesaid.  
¶ ITEM that ye shall provide on this side the feast of _____ nerte coming one book of the hole Bible, of the largest volume in english, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church, that ye have cure of, where as your parysheoners may most commodiousely resort to the same, and read it. The charges of which book shall be rateably borne between you, the person and the parisheoners aforesaid, that is to say, the one half by you, and the other half by them.  
¶ ITEM THAT ye shall discourage no man privily or apertly, from the reading or hearing of the said bible, but shall expressly provoke fiere and exhort every person to read the same, as that which is the very truly word of god, that every christian person is bound to embrace believe and follow, if he look to be saved, admonishing them nevertheless to avoid all contention & altercation therein, and to use an honest sobriety in the inquisition of the true sense of the same, and to refer thexplication of obscure places to men of higher judgement in scripture.  
¶ ITEM that ye shall every sunday and holy day through the year▪ openly and plainly recite to your parishioners twice or thrice together or oftener, it need require, one particle or sentence of the Pater noster or Crede in english, to the intent they may learn the same by heart: And so from day to day to give them one like lesson or sentence of the same, till they have learned the hole Pater noster and Crede in english by rote. And as they be taught every sentence of the same by rote, ye shall expound and declare the understanding of the same unto them, exhorting all parents and householders, to teach their children and servants the same, as they are bound in conscience to do. And that done, ye shall declare unto them the ten Commandments one by one every sunday & holy day, till they be likewise perfect in the same.  
¶ ITEM that ye shall in confessions every lente examine every person that cometh to confession to you, whether they can recite th'articles of our faith, and the Pater noster in english, and here them say the same particularly, wherein if they be not perfit, ye shall declare to the same, that every christian person aught to know the same before they should receive the blessed sacrament of the altar, and monish them to learn the same more perfectly by the next year following: or else like as they ought not to presume to come to God's board, without perfit knowledge of the same, and if they do, it is to the great peril of their souls, so ye shall declare unto them, that ye look for other Injunctions from the kings highness by that time to stay and repel all such from God's board, as shall be found ignorant in the premisses, whereof ye do thus admonish them, to the intent they should both eschew the peril of their souls, and also the worldly rebuke, that they might incur hereafter by the same.  
¶ ITEM that ye shall make or cause to be made in the said church, and every other cure ye have, one sermon every quarter of a year at the least, wherein ye shalpurely and sincerely declare the very gospel of Christ, and in the same exhort your hearers to the works of charity, mercy, and faith, specially prescribed and commanded in scripture. And not to repose their trust or affiance in any other works devised by men's fantasies beside scripture. As in wandering to pilgrimages, offering of money, candles, or tapers to feigned relics or images, or kissing and licking the same, saying over a number of beads not understanded ne minded on, or in such like superstition. For the doing whereof ye not only have no promise of reward in scripture, but contrary wise great threats and maledictions of god, as things tending to idolatry and superstition, which of all other offences god almighty doth most detest and abhor, for that the same dyminysheth most his honour and glory.  
¶ ITEM that such feigned Images as ye know in any of your cures; to be so abused with pilgrimages or offerings of any thing made thereunto, ye shall for avoiding of that most detestable offence of Idolatry, forthwith take down & deleye, and shall suffer from henceforth no candles tapres or images of ware to be set afore any image or picture, but only the light that commonly goeth a cross the church by the rood loft, the light afore the sacrament of the altar, and the light about the sepulchre, which for the adorning of the church and divine service, ye shall suffer to remain still: admonishing your parishioners, that Images serve for no other purpose, but as to be books of unlearned men, that can no letters, whereby they might be otherwise admonished of the lives and conversation of them, that the said images do represent. Which images if they abuse for any other intent, than for such remembrances, they commit idolatry in the same, to the great danger of their souls. And therefore the kings highness, graciously tendering the weal of his subiectis souls, hath in part already, and more will hereafter fravayle for thabolishing of such images, as might be occasion of so great an offence to god, and so great a danger to the souls of his loving subjects.  
¶ Item that in all such benefices or cures as ye have, whereupon ye be not yourself resident, ye shall appoint such curates in your stead, as both can by their ability, and will also promptly execute these injunctions, and do their duty otherwise, that ye are bound to do in every behalf accordingly, and may profit their cure no less with good example of living, than with declaration of the word of god: or else their lack and defaults shall be imputed unto you, who shall straightly answer for the same, if they do otherwise.  
¶ ITEM that ye shall admit no man to preach within any your benefices or cures, but such as shall appear unto you to be sufficietly licenced thereunto by the kings highness, or his grace's authority, by thatch bishop of Canterbury, or the bishop of this diocese, and such as shallbe so licenced, ye shall gladly receive, to declare the word of god without any resistance or contradiction.  
¶ ITEM if ye have heretofore declared to your parishioners any thing, to thextoling or setting forth of pilgrimages, to feigned relics, or Images, or any such superstition, ye shall now openly afore the same recant & reprove the same, showing them (as the truth is) that ye did the same upon no ground of scripture, but as one being led and seduced by a comen error and abuse, crept in to the church through the sufferance and avarice of such as felt profit by the same.  
¶ ITEM if ye do, or shall know any man within your parish or else where, that is a letter of the word of god, to be red in english, or sincerely preached, or of the execution of these injunctions, or a fautour of the bishop of Rome's pretenced power, now by the laws of this realm justly rejected and extirped, ye shall detect and present the same to the kings highness, or his honourable counsel, or to his vicegerent aforesaid, or to the justice of peace next adjoining.  
¶ ITEM that you, and every person, vicar, or curate within this diocese, shall for every church, keep one book or register, wherein ye shall write the day and year of every wedding, christening, and burying made within your parish for your time, And so every man succeeding you likewise, and also there insert every person's name, that shallbe so wedded, christened, or buried. And for the safe keeping of the same book, the parish shall be bound to provide of their common charges one sure coffer, with. two. locks and keys, whereof the one to remain with you, and the other with the wardens of every such parish, wherein the said book shall be laid up, which book ye shall every sunday take forth, and in the presence of the said wardens, or one of them, writ and record in the same, all the weddings, christeninges, and burienges made the hole week before. And that done to lay up the book in the said coffer, as afore. And for every time that the same shall be omitted, the party that shall be in the fault thereof, shall forfeit to the said church. three s.iiii.d. to be employed on the reparation of the same church.  
¶ ITEM that ye shall once every quarter of a year read these, and the other former juiunctions, given unto you by authority of the kings highness openly and deliberately before all your parishioners, to the intent that both you may be the better admonished of your duty, and your said parishioners the more incited to ensue the same for their part.  
¶ ITEM for as much as by a law established every man is bound to pay his tithes, no man shall by colour of duty omitted by their curates, detain their tithes, and so redubbe one wrong with another, or be his own judge, but shall truly pay the same, as hath been accustomed, to their persons and curates, without any restraint or diminution: And such lack or default, as they can justly find in their persons and curates, to call for reformation thereof at their ordinaries and other superiors hands, who upon complayute and due proof thereof, shall reform the same accordingly.  
¶ ITEM that no person shall from henceforth, altar or change the order and manner of any fasting day, that is commanded and indicted by the church, nor of prayer or divine service, other wise than is specified in the said injunctions, until such time as the same shall be so ordered and transposed by the kings highness authority, The eves of such saints, whose holidays be abrogated, only excepted, which shall be declared henceforth to be no fasting days. Ercepted also the commemoration of Thomas Bekket, sometime archbishop of Canturburie, which shall be clean omitted, and in the stead thereof the feriall service used.  
¶ Item that the knolling of the Auees, after service and certain other times, which hath been brought in and begun by the pretence of the bishop of Rome's pardon, henceforth be left and omitted, lest the people do hereafter trust to have pardon for the saying of their Auees, between the said ●uollyng, as they have done in times past.  
¶ Item where in times past men have used in divers places in their processions to sing, Ora pro nobis, to so many saints, that they had no time to sing the good suffrages following, as Parce nobis domine, and Libera nos domine, it must be taught and preached, that better it were to omit Ora pro nobis, and to sing the other suffrages, being most necessary, and effectual.  
¶ ALL WHICH and singular Injunctions 〈◊〉 minister unto you, and to your successors by the kings highness authority, to me committed in this part, which I charge and command you by the same authority to observe and keep, upon pain of deprivation, sequestration of your fruits, or such other cohertion, as to the kings highness, or his vicegerent for the time being, shall be seen convenient.
