And whereas other unlearned and evil disponed persons, have not sticked to instill and whisper into men's ears, and to persuade abroad, evil and perilous opinions, against God's law, and the good order of the realm: some teaching that a man may forsake his wife, and marry another, his first wife yet living, and likewise that the wife may do to the husband. Other, that a man may have two wives, or more at once, and that these things be prohibited, not by God's law, but by the bishop of Rome's law: So that by such evil and fantastical opinions, some hath not been afraid in deed, to marry keep two wives, The which opinions, the Kings majesty, as a most Christian Prince, by th'advise aforesaid, not allowing as Godly, and Christian, or convenient to be spread abroad, or maintained in the realm: straightly chargeth and commandeth, all archbishops and bishops, and other which hath spiritual jurisdictions within the realm, to proceed against all such as hath, or hereafter shall marry, or keep, two wives at once, (whereof the first is his lawful wife) or shall put away his wife, and marry another, and to punish such offenders, according to the Ecclesiastical laws, with grave and severe punishment, to fear therewith others, which, else would-fall to such insoent and unlawful acts.  
And that all his highness officers, and loving subjects, who hath charge or zeal thereto, shall detect all such offenders, to the said archbishops and Bishops, and others that exerciseth spiritual jurisdiction, and aid the same, to the punishing of such eviyl doers, according to the order or the law, in those cases. And if so be, the said archbishops, bishops, or other who hath th'exercise of spiritual jurisdictions, be slack and negligent, in the execution of the said process, and punishing of such evil doers, as is before rehearsed: That then the justices of Peace, in every shit, or any other his majesties loving subjects, shall declare and signify such offenders and misdoers, to the kings highness counsel, by their letters, that his highness by th'advise aforesaid, might see a convenient redress made, of such misorder, and look more straightly upon tharchbishops and Bishops, which doth not execute their duties in this behalf, according to the trust committed unto them.  
God save the King.
