WHere as the queens majesty, hath in this present last session of parliament, with the assent, and consent, of the lords spiritual and temporal, and the commons in the same assembled, made amongst others, one statute to repeal sundry acts of parliament made in the time of the late queen her majesties sister, and to revive and make good certain other necessary and godly laws, used in the times of the reygnes of king Henry the .viii. her majesties father, and king Edwarde the sixte her majesties brother, of noble memories: amongst the which one godly act ther is revived, entitled: an act against such persons as shal vnreuerently speak against the Sacrament of the body and blood of christ, commonly called the sacrament of the alter, and for receiving therof under both kindes, made in a parliament begon at Westminster the .iiii. day of november, in the first year of the said king Edward the sixth, and continued to the .xxiiii. day of December then next following. And because the time of Easter is so at hand, and that great numbers, not only of the nobility and gentlemen, but also of the common people of this realm, be certainly persuaded in conscience in such sort as they cannot be induced in any wise to communicate or receive the said holy sacrament but under both kindes according to the first institution, and to the common use both of the Apostells and the primitive church. And for that also the foresaid statute now made in this last parliament being of great length, cannot be printed and published abroad, nor any other maner of divine service for the communion of the said holy Sacrament( than that which is now used in the church) can presently be established by any lawe, until further time therfore may bee had. For to avoid al contention and discord, and to quiet the consciences of such great numbers: It is thought necessary to her majesty, by the aduise of sundry of her nobility and Commons lately assembled in parliament, to signify and declare, like as by this present proclamation her majesty doth signify and declare to all maner her majesties subiectes, that the foresaid statute made in the said first year of king Edwarde the sixth, is now wholly revived and in force, to al maner of purposes, and intents, and that the same is and ought to be followed, obeyed and used. And therfore her majesty by the said aduise, straitly commandeth and chargeth al maner of persons, and specially all maner pastors and Curates to whom the ministration of the said holy sacrament doth belong, charitably and quietly to observe the form and maner of the said statute now revived, concerning the ministration under both kinds. And yet least dissension or disquiet might arise, if in any place the priests and ministers of some church shall refuse to deliver the said holy sacrament in both kindes to their parishioners which shal humbly requyer the same: her majesty by thaduise aforesaid requireth & commandeth all maner her subiectes, that so shall reverently and humbly require the same, and cannot haue it quietly granted by their priest or curate, yet not to molest the said priest at this time of Easter for the same, least occasion thereby be given of breach of charity: but to resort to some other honest, discrete and learned priest and minister, either in the same church or sume other, & to receive of him the said holy sacrament reverently, under both kindes as is abovesaid. And notwithstanding the same, to pay al maner other tithes and dueties to their proper person or Curate, as otherwile they haue done, leaving the consideration of the Curates contempt, to such as in that behalf, haue cause to redress it.  
AND further her majesty commandeth straitlye, all maner of Maiors, Sheryffes, Iustices of peace, and other head officers, as they will answer for the contrary, to haue an earnest regard that peace and concord be kept, as well in Churches, as without, specially during al this feast of Easter, and not to fail, but forthwith to commit to prison, all disordered persons, that shall seek willingly to break, either by misordred dede, or by railing, or contemptuous speech, the common peace and band of charity, which ought amongst all good christians to be at this present most abundant and of most force and value.  
given at our palace of Westminster the .xxii. day of march ▪ the first year of our reign.  
God save the queen.
