〈…〉 ble dede, as mendyng of high ways, or such like: Her majesty enjoineth and straightly chargeth the gouernours and companies of every such church, to employ such parcels of the said sums of money( as any wise may be spared,) vpon the speedy repair or reedification of any such monuments so defaced or spoyled, as agreeable to thoriginall, as the same conveniently may be.  
And where the covetousness of certain persons is such, that as patrons of Churches, or owners of the personnages impropriated, or by some other colour or pretence, they do persuade with the person and parishioners to take or throw down the belles of Churches and chapels, and the led of the same, converting the same to their private gain, and to the spoil of the said places, and make such like alteracions, as thereby they seek a slanderous desolation of the places of prayer: Her majesty( to whom in the right of the crown by thordinaunce of almighty God, and by the laws of this realm, the defence and protection of the church of this realm belongeth) doth expressly forbid any maner of person, to take away any Belles or led of any Church or chapel now used, or that ought to be used with public and divine service, or otherwise deface any such church or chapel, under pain of imprisonment during her majesties pleasure, and such further fine for the contempt, as shal be thought meet.  
And her majesty chargeth all Byshops and Ordinaries to inquire of all such contempts done from the beginning of her majesties reign, and to enjoin the persons offending, to repair the same within a convenient time. And of their doings in this behalf, to certify her majesties privy counsel, or the counsel in the star chamber at Westminster, that order may be taken herein.  
given at Windsor the .xix. of September, the second year of her majesties reign.  
God save the queen.
