¶ Injunctions given by the most excellent Prince, Edward the. VI by the grace of GOD, king of England, France, and Ireland: defender of the faith, and in earth under Christ, of the Church of England and of Ireland, the supreme head: to all and singular his loving Subjects, as well of the Clergy, as of the Laity.  
THE Kings most royal Majesty, by the advise of his most dear uncle, the duke of Somerset, Lord Protector of all his Realms, Dominions, and subjects, and Governor of his most royal person, and the residue of his most honourable counsel, intending th'advancement of the true honour of almighty God the suppression of Idolatry, and Superstition, throughout all his Realms and Dominions, and to plant true Religion, to the extirpation of all hypocrisy, enormities, and abuses, as to his duty appertaineth: Doth minister unto his loving subjects, these Godly Injunctions, hereafter following: Whereof, part were given unto them heretofore, by authority of his most dearly beloved father, King Henry the eight, of most famous memory, and part are now ministered and given by his Majesty. All which Injunctions, his highness willeth and commandeth his said loving subjects, by his supreme authority, obediently to receive, and truly to observe and keep, every man in their offices, degrees, and states, as they will avoid his displeasure, and the pains in the same Injunctions, hereafter expressed.  
THE first is, that all Deans, Achedeacons', persons, Vicars, and other Ecclesiastical persons, shall faithfully keep and observe, and as far as in them may lie, shall cause to be observed and kept of other, all & singular laws and statutes, made aswell for the abolishing and extirpation of the bishop of Rome, his pretenced and usurped power and jurisdiction, as for the establishment and confirmation of the kings authority, jurisdiction and supremacy of the church of England, & Ireland. And furthermore, all ecclesiastical persons, having cure of soul, shall to the uttermost of their wit, knowledge, and learning purely, sincerely, and without any colour or dissimulation, declare, manifest, and open, iiij. times every year at the least, in their Sermons, and other collations, that the bishop of Rome's usurped power and jurisdiction, having no establishment nor ground by the law of God, was of most just causes, taken away and abolished, and that therefore, no manner of obedience or subjection, within his Realms and Dominions, is dew unto him. And that the Kings power, within his Realms and Dominions, is the highest power under GOD, to whom all men, within the same Realms and Dominions, by Gods laws own most loyalty and obedience, afore and above all other powers and potentates in earth.  
BESIDES this, to the intent that all Superstition and Hypocrisy, crept into diverse men's hearts, may vanish away, they shall not setforth or extol any Images, Relics, or miracles, for any Superstition or lucre, nor allure the people by any enticements, to the Pilgrimage of any saint or image: but reproving the same, they shall teach, that all goodness, health and grace, aught to be both asked and looked for only of God, as of the very author and giver of the same, and of none other.  
ITEM, that they, the persons above rehearsed shall make or cause to be made in their Churches, and every other Cure they have, one Sermon, every quarter of the year at the least, wherein they shall purely and sincerely, declare the word of GOD: and in the same, exhort their hearers to the works of Faith, mercy, and Charity, specially prescribed and commanded in scripture, and that works devised by man's fantasies, besides scripture: as wandering to pilgrimages, offering of money, candles or tapers, to Relics, or Images, or kissing and licking of the same, praying upon Beads, or such like superstition, have not only no promise of reward in scripture, for doing of them: but contrariwise, great threats & maledictions of God for that they be things, tending to Idolatry and superstition, which, of all other offences, god almighty doth most detest and abhor for that the same diminish most his honour and glory.  
ITEM, that such Images, as they know in any of their Cures, to be, or have been so abused with pilgrimage or offerings, of any thing made thereunto, or shallbe hereafter censed unto, they (and none other private persons) shall, for the avoiding of that most detestable offence of Idolatry, forthwith take down or cause to be taken down, and destroy the same, and shall suffer from hensefurthe, no Torches, nor candles, Tapers or Images of wax, to be set afore any Image or picture, but only two lights upon the high altar, before the Sacrament which, for the signification, that Christ is the very true light of the world, they shall suffer to remain still: Admonishing their parishioners, that Images serve for no other purpose, but to be a remembrance, whereby, men may be admonished, of the holy lives and conversation of them that the said Images do represent: which Images, if they do abuse for any other intent, they commit Idolatry in the same, to the great danger of their souls.  
ITEM, that every holy day throughout the year, when they have no Sermon, they shall immediately after the Gospel, openly and plainly, recite to their parishioners in the pulpit: The Pater noster, the Credo, and the ten Commandments in English, to the intent the people may learn the same by heart: exhorting all parents and householders, to teach their children and servants the same, as they are bound by the law of God, and in conscience to do.  
ITEM, that they shall charge fathers and Mothers, Masters and governors, to bestow their children and Servants, even from their childhood, either to learning, or to some honest exercise, occupation or husbandry: Exhorting and counselling, and by all the ways and means they may, aswell in their Sermons and collations, as otherways, persuading their said Fathers and Mothers, Masters, and other Governors, diligently to provide and foresee, that the youth be in no manner of wise, brought up in idleness, lest at any time afterward, for lack of some craft, occupation, or other honest mean to live by, they be driven to fall to begging, stealing, or some other unthriftiness: For asmuch as we may daily see, through sloth and idleness, diverse valiant men fall, some to begging, and some to theft and murdre, which after brought to calamity and misery, do blame their parents, friends and governors, which suffered them, to be brought up so idly in their youth, where, if they had been well brought up, in good learning, some occupation, or craft, they should (being rulers of their own household) have profited aswell themselves, as diverse other persons, to the great commodity and ornament of the common wealth.  
ALSO, that the said persons, Vicars, and other Curates, shall diligently provide, that the Sacraments, be duly and reverently ministered in their Parishes. And if at any time it happen, them in any of the cases expressed in the statutes of this Realm, or of special licence given by the Kings Majesty, to be absent from their benefices, they shall leave their Cure, not to a rude and unlearned person, but to an honest well learned and expert Curate, that can by his ability, teach the rude and unlearned of their cure, wholesome doctrine, and reduce them to the right way that do err, and which will also execute these Injunctions, and do their duty otherwise, as they are bound to do in every behalf: and accordingly may and will proflite their cure, no less with good example of living, then with the declaration of the word of God, or else their lack and default, shallbe imputed unto them, who shall straightly answer for the same if they do otherwise. And always let them see, that neither they nor their Curates, do seek more their own profit, promotion, or advantage, than the profit of the souls, that they have under their Cure or the glory of God.  
ALSO, that they shall provide, within three months, next after this visitation, one book of the whole Bible, of the largest volume in English. And within one twelve months, next after the said visitation, the Paraphrasis of Erasmus also in English upon the Gospels, and the same set up, in some convenient place, within the said Church, that they have cure of, whereas their parishioners may most commodiously, resort unto the same, & read the same. The charges of which books shallbe rateably borne, between the Person or approprietary, and the parishioners aforesaid, that is to say, the one half by the Person or proprietary, & the other half, by the parishioners. And they shall discourage no man (authorized and licensed thereto) from the reading of any part of the Bible, either in Latyn or in English: But shall rather conform and exhort every person to read the same, as the very lively word of God, and the special food of man's soul, that all christian persons are bound to embrace, believe, & follow, if they look to be saued: Whereby they may the better know their duties to God, to their sovereign lord the King, and their neighbour, ever gently and charitably exhorting them, and in his majesties name, straightly charging and commanding them, that in the reading thereof, no man to reason or contend, but quietly to hear the reader.  
ALSO, the said Ecclesiastical persons, shall in no wise, at any unlawful time, nor for any other cause, than for their honest necessity, haunt or resort to any Taverns, or Alehouses. And after their dinner and supper, they shall not give themselves to drinking or tyot, spending their time idly, by day or by night, at dice, cards, or tables playing, or any other unlawful game: But at all times, as they shall have leisure, they shall hear or read somewhat of holy scripture, or shall occupy themselves with some other honest exercise, and that they always do the things, which appertain to honesty, with endeavour to profit the common weal, having always in mind, that they ought to excel all other, in purity of life, and should be example to the people, to live well and christianly.  
ITEM, that they shall in confessions every Lent, examine every person, that cometh to confession to them, whether they can recite the articles of their Faith, the Pater noster, and the ten commandments in English, & hear them say the same particularly, wherein, if they be not perfit, they shall declare then, that every christian person, ought to know the said things, before they should receive the blessed Sacrament of the altar, and monish them to learn the said necessary things, more perfitly, or else they ought not to presume to come to God's board, without perfit knowledge, and will to observe the same: and if they do, it is to the great periel of their souls, and also to the worldly rebuke, that they might incur hereafter by the same.  
ALSO, that they shall admit no man to preach, within any their cures, but such as shall appear unto them, to be sufficiently licensed thereunto, by the Kings Majesty, the lord Protectors grace, the archbishop of Canterbury, the archbishop of York in his province, or the Bishop of the diocese. And such as shallbe so licensed, they shall gladly receive, to declare the word of God, without any resistance, or contradiction.  
ALSO, if they have heretofore declared to their parishioners any thing, to the extolling, or setting forth of pilgrimages, relics or images, or lighting of candles, kissing, kneeling decking of the same images, or any such superstition, they shall now openly, before the same, recant, and reprove the same: showing them (as the truth is) that they did the same upon no ground of scripture, but were led and seduced by a common error and abuse, crept into the church, through the sufferance & avarice of such, as felt profit by the same.  
ALSO, if they do, or shall know any man within their 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 the Kings matesties Injunctions, or a fautor of the bishop of Rome's pretenced power, now by the laws of this realm, justly rejected, extirped, and taken away utterly, they shall detect, and present the same, to the King or his counsel, or to the justice of peace next adjoining.  
ALSO, that the Person, Vicar, or Curate, and parishioners of every parish, within this realm, shall in their Churches and Chapels, keep one book, or register, wherein they shall write the day and year, of every wedding, christening, and burial, made within their parish for their time, and so every man succeeding them likewise: and also therein shall write every person's name, that shallbe so wedded, christened, or buried. And for the safe keeping of the same book, the parish shallbe bound to provide of their common charges, one sure coffer, with two locks and keys, whereof, the one to remain with the Person, Vicar, or Curate, & the other with the wardens of every parish Church or Chapel, wherein the said book shallbe laid up: which book they shall every sunday take forth, and in the presence of the said wardens, or one of them, write & record in the same, all the weddings, christenings, and burials, made the whole week before, and that done, to lay up the book in the said coffer, as afore. And for every time, that the same shallbe omitted, the party that shallbe in the fault thereof, shall forfaicte to the said church iii s. four d, to be employed to the poor men's box, of that parish.  
FURTHERMORE, because the goods of the church, are called the goods of the poor, and at these days, nothing is less seen, than the poor to be sustained with the same: all Persons, Vicars, Pencionaries, Prebendaries, & other beneficed men, within this deanery, not being resident upon their benefices, which may dispend yearly twenty l. or above, either within this deanery, or else where, shall distribute hereafter, among their poor parishioners, or other inhabitants there, in the presence of the church wardens, or some other honest men of the parish, the forty part of the fruits and revenues of their said benefices, least they be worthily noted of ingratitude, which reserving so many parts to themselves, cannot vouchsafe, to impart the forty portion thereof, among the poor people of that parish, that is so fruicteful, and profitable unto them.  
AND to the intent, that learned men may hereafter springe the more for the execution of the premises, every Person, Vicar, clerk, or beneficed man, within this deanery, having yearly to dispend in benefices, and other promotions of the church, an. C. l. shall give competent exhibition to one scholar: and for as many hundred pounds more, as he may dispend, to so many scholars more, shall give like exhibition, in the university of Oxford, or Cambridge, or some grammar school, which after they have profited in good learning, may be partners of their patrons cure and charge, aswell in preaching, as otherwise in the execution of their offices: or may when need shallbe, otherwise profit the common weal, with their counsel and wisdom.  
ALSO, that all proprietaries, persons, Vicars, and Clerks, having churches, chapels or mansions, within this deanery, shall bestow yearly hereafter, upon the same mansions or chancels of their churches, being in decay, the fifth part of that their benefices, till they be fully repaired. And the same so repaired, shall always keep and maintain in good estate.  
ALSO, that the said Persons, Vicars, and clerks, shall once, every quarter of the year, read these Injunctions given unto them openly and deliberately, before all their parishioners, to the intent, that both they may be the better admonished of their duty, & their said parishioners the more moved, to follow the same for their part.  
ALSO, 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, deteigne their tithes, and so redubbe and requite one wrong with another, or be his own judge, but shall truly pay the same, as he hath been accustomed, to their persons, vicar's, and curates, without any restraint or diminution. And such lack and 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 complaint, and due proof thereof, shall reform the same accordingly.  
ALSO, that no person shall from henceforth, alter or change the order and manner of any fasting day that is commanded, nor of common prayer or divine service, otherwise then is specified in these Injunctions, until such time as the same, shallbe otherwise ordered and transposed, by the Kings authority.  
ALSO, that every Person, Vicar, Curate, Chantry priest and stipendary, being under the degree of bachilar of Divinity, shall provide, and have of his own, within three months after this visitation, the new Testament, both in Latyn and in English, with Paraphrasis upon the same of Erasmus, and diligently study the same, confering the one with the other. And the Bishops, and other ordinaries by themselves. or their officers, in their synods and visitations, shall examine the said ecclesiastical persons, how they have profited in the study of holy scripture.  
ALSO, in the time of high mass, within every church, he that sayeth or singeth the same, shall read, or cause to be red, the epistle and Gospel of that mass, in English, & not in Latyn, in the pulpit, or in such convenient place, as the people may hear the same. And also every sunday and holy day, they shall plainly and distinctly, read, or cause to be red, one chapter of the new testament in English, in the said place at matins, immediately after the lessons, and at evensong, after Magnificat, one chapter off the old Testament. And to the intent the premises, may be more conveniently done: The Kings majesties pleasure is, that when. ix. lessons should be red in the Church, three of them shallbe omitted, and left out with their respondes. And at evensong time, the respondes with all the memories shallbe left of, for that purpose.  
ALSO, because those persons, which be sick, and in peril of death, be oftentimes put in despair, by the craft and subtlety of the devil, who is then most busy, and specially with them, that lack the knowledge, sure persuasion, and steadfast belief, that they may be made partakes of the great and infinite mercy, which almighty God, of his most bountiful goodness, and mere liberality, without our deserving, hath offered freely to all persons, that putteth their full trust and confidence in him: Therefore, that this damnable vice of despair, may be clearly taken away, and firm belief, and steadfast hope, surely conceived of all their parishioners, being in any danger, they shall learn, and have always in a readiness, such comfortable places and sentences of scripture, as do set furth the mercy, benefits and goodness of almighty God, towards all penitent, and believing persons, that they may at all times, when necessity shall require, promptly comfort their flock, with the lively word of God, which is the only stay of man's conscience.  
ALSO, to avoid all contention and strife, which heretofore hath risen, among the kings majesties subjects, in sundry places of his Realms and dominions, by reason of fond courtesy, and challenging of places in procession, and also that they may the more quietly, hear that which is said or song, to their edefiing: they shall not from hensefurthe, in any parish church, at any time use any procession, about the Church or Church yard, or other place, but immediately before high Mass, the priests with other of the queire, shall kneel in the mids of the Church, and sing or say, plainly & distinctly, the Litany, which is set furthe in English, with all the Suffrages following, and none other Procession, or Litany to be had or used, but the said Litany in English, adding nothing thereto, but as the kings grace, shall hereafter appoint: and in Cathedral or Collegiate churches, the same shallbe done in such places, as our Commissaries in our visitation shall appoint. And in the time of the Litany, of the high Mass, of the Sermon, and when the priest readeth the scripture to the parishioners, no manner of persons, without a just and urgent cause, shall depart out of the Church: and all ringing and knowling of Bells, shallbe utterly forborn for that time, except one Bell, in convenient time, to be rong or knowled before the Sermon.  
ALSO, like as the people be commonly occupied on the work day, with bodily labour, for their bodily sustenance: so was the holy day at the first beginning Godly instituted and ordained, that the people should that day, give themselves wholly to God. And whereas in our time, God is more offended then pleased, more dishonoured, then honoured, upon the holy day, because of idleness, pride, drunkenness, querelling, and brawling, which are most used, in such days, people nevertheless, persuading themselves, sufficiently to honour God on that day, if they hear Mass & service, though they understand nothing, to their edifying: therefore all the Kings faithful and loving subjects, shall from hensefurth celebrate, and keep their holy day, according to God's holy will & pleasure, that is: in hearing the word of God red and taught: in private and public prayers: in knowledging their offences to God, and amendment of the same: in reconciling theirselves charitably to their neighbours, where displeasure hath been: in often times receiving the communion, of the very body and blood of Christ: in visiting of the poor & sick: in using all soberness, and godly conversation, Yet notwithstanding, all persons, Vicars, and Curates, shall teach and declare, unto their parishioners, that they may with a safe and quiet conscience, in the time of harvest, labour upon the holy and festival days, and save that thing which God hath sent. And if for any scrupulosity, or grudge of conscience, men should superstitiously, abstain from working upon those days, that then they should grievously offend and displease God.  
ALSO, forasmuch as variance and contention, is a thing which most displeaseth God, and is most contrary to the blessed communion of the body and blood of our saviour Christ: Curates shall in nowise admit to the receiving thereof, any of their cure and flock, who hath maliciously and openly contended with his neighbour, unless the same do first charitably and openly, reconcile himself again, remitting all rancour and malice, whatsoever controversy hath been between them: and nevertheless, their just titles and rights, they may charitably, prosecute before such as have authority to hear the same.  
ALSO, that every Dean, archdeacon, Master of Collegiate church, Master of Hospital, and Prebendary, being Priest, shall preach by himself personally, twice every year at the least, either in the place, where he is entitled, or in some Church, where he hath jurisdiction, or else which is to the said place appropriate, or united,  
ALSO, that they shall instruct and teach in their Cures, that no man ought obstinately, and maliciously, break and violate, the laudable Ceremonies of the Church, by the king commanded, to be observed, and as yet not abrogated. And on the otherside, that whosoever doth superstitiously abuse them, doth the same to the great periel and danger of his soul health: as in casting holy Water upon his bed, upon Images, and other dead things, or bearing about him holy bread, or saint Ihons' Gospel, or making Crosses of wood upon Palm sunday, in time of reading of the Passion, or keeping of private holy days, as Bakers, Brewers, Smiths, Shoemakers, & such other do, or ringing of the holy Bells, or blessing with the holy candle, to th'intent, thereby to be discharged of the burden of sin, or to drive away devils, or to put away dreams and fantasies, or in putting trust and confidence of health and salvation, in the same Ceremonies: when they be only ordained, instituted and made, to put us in remembrance of the benefits, which we have received by Christ. And if he use them for any other purpose, he grievously offendeth GOD.  
ALSO, that they shall take away, utterly extinct, and destroy, all shrines, covering of shrines, all tables, candlesticks, tryndilles or rolls of wax, pictures, paintynges, and all other monuments of feigned miracles, pilgrimages, Idolatry, and superstition: so that there remain, no memory of the same, in walls, glasses, windows, or else where, within their churches or houses. And they shall exhort all their parishioners, to do the like within their several houses. And that the Church wardens, at the common charge of the parishioners in every Church, shall provide a comely and honest pulpit, to be set in a convenient place within the same, for the preaching of God's word.  
ALSO, they shall provide, and have within three months after this visitation, a strong chest, with a hole in the upper part thereof, to be provided, at the cost and charge of the parish, having three keys, whereof, one shall remain in the custody, of the Person, vicar, or Curate, and the other two, in the custody of the Church wardens, or any other two honest men, to be appointed, by the parish, from year to year. Which chest, you shall set and fasten, near unto the high altar, to the intent, the Parishioners, should put into it, their Oblation and almose, for their poor neighbours. And the Person, Vicar, and Curate, shall diligently, from time to time, and specially, when men make their Testaments, call upon, exhort, and move their neighbours, to confer and give, (as they may well spare) to the said chest: declaring unto them, whereas heretofore they have been diligent, to bestow much substance, otherwise than GOD commanded, upon Pardons, pilgrimages, Trentals, decking of Images, offering of candles, giving to Friars, & upon other like blind devotions, they ought at this time, to be much more ready to help the poor and needy, knowing that to relieve the poor, is a true worshipping of God, required earnestly, upon pain of everlasting damnation: and that also, whatsoever is given for their comfort, is given to Christ himself, and so is accepted of him, that he will mercifully, reward the same with everlasting life. The which almost, and devotion of the people, the keepers of the keys, shall at times convenient, take out of the chest, and distribute the same, in the presence of the whole parish, or six of them, to be truly and faithfully delivered, to their most needy neighbours: and if they be provided for, then to the reparation of high ways, next adjoining. And also the money which riseth of fraternities, guilds, and other stocks of the Church (except by the Kings majesties authority, it be otherwise appointed) shallbe put into the said chest, and converted to the said use, and also the rents of lands, the profit of cattail, and money given or bequeathed, to the finding of torches, lights, tapers, and lamps, shallbe converted to the said use, saving that it shallbe lawful for them, to bestow part of the said profits, upon the reparation of the Church, if great need require, and whereas the Parish is very poor, and notable otherwise to repair the same.  
AND for asmuch as Priests be public ministers of the Church, and upon the holy days, aught to apply themselves, to the common administration of the whole parish, they shall not be bound to go to women lying in child bed, except in time of dangerous sickness, and not to fetch any corpse, before it be brought to the Church yard: & if the woman be sick, or the corpse brought to the Church, the Priest shall do his duty accordingly, in visiting the woman, and burying the deed person.  
ALSO, to avoid the detestable sin of simony, because buying and selling of benefices, is execrable before God: Therefore, all such persons as buy any benefices, or come to them by fraud or deceit, shallbe deprived of such benefices, and be made unable at any time after, to receive any other spiritual promotion. And such as do sell them, or by any colour do bestow them, for their own gain and profit, shall lose their right and title of patronage, and presentment for that time, and the gift thereof for that vacation, shall apperte in to the Kings Majesty.  
ALSO, because through lack of preachers in many places of the kings realms and dominions, the people continue in ignorance and blindness: all persons, Vicars, and Curates, shall read in their Churches, every sunday, one of the Homilies, which are and shallbe sethfurthe, for the same purpose, by the Kings authority, in such sort, as they shallbe appointed to do, in the preface of the same.  
ALSO, whereas many indiscrete persons, do at this day, uncharitably contemn and abuse priests and ministers of the Church, because some of them, (having small learning) have of long time favoured fantasies, rather than God's truth: yet for asmuch, as their office and function, is appointed of God: The Kings Majesty willeth and chargeth, all his loving subjects, that from hensefurthe, they shall use them charitably and reverently, for their office and ministration sake, and especially, all such as labour in the setting forth of God's holy word.  
ALSO, that all manner of persons, which understand not the Latin tongue, shall pray upon none other Primer, but upon that, which was lately set furth in English, by authority of King Henry the. VIII. of most famous memory. And that no teacher of youth, shall teach any other, than the said primer. And all those, which have knowledge of the latin tongue, shall pray upon none other latin Primer, but upon that, which is likewise setforth by the said authority. And that all graces to be said at dinner and supper, shall be always said in the English tongue. And that none other Grammar, shallbe taught in any School or other place, within the Kings realms and dominions, but only that which is set forth by the said authority.  
ITEM, that all chantry Priests, shall exercise themselves, in teaching youth to read and write, and bringing them up in good manners, and other virtuous exercises.  
ITEM, when any Sermon or homily shallbe had, the Prime and Hours shallbe omitted.  

❧ The form of bidding the common prayers.  
YOU shall pray for the whole congregation of Christ's Church, and specially, for this Church of England and Ireland: wherein, first, I commend to your devout prayers, the kings most excellent Majesty, supreme head immediately under GOD, of the spiritualty and temporalty of the same Church: And for Queen Katherine dowag●●r, and also for my lady Mary, and my lady Elizabeth, the Kings sisters.  
SECONDLY you shall pray for my lord Protectors grace, with all the rest of the kings majesties Counsel: for all the lords of this realm, and for the Clergy, and the commons of the same: beseeching almighty God, to give every of them, in his degree, grace to use themselves in such wise, as may be to God's glory, the Kings honour, and the weal of this realm.  
thirdly, you shall pray, for all them that be departed out of this world, in the faith of Christ, that they with us, and we with them at the day of judgement, may rest both body and soul, with Abraham, Isaac, and jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.   

ALL which and singular Injunctions, the kings Majesty, ministereth unto his Clergy, and their successors, and to all other his loving subjects: straightly charging and commanding them, to observe and keep the same, upon pain of deprivation, sequestration of fruits of benefices, suspension, excommunication, and such other cohertion, as to Ordinaries or other having Ecclesiastical jurisdiction, whom his Majesty hath appointed for the due execution of the same, shallbe seen convenient: charging and commanding them, to see these Injunctions, observed and kept of all persons, being under their jurisdiction, as they will answer to his Majesty for the contrary. And his majesties pleasure is, that every justice of peace (being required) shall assist the Ordinaries, and every of them, for the due execution of the said Injunctions.
