called to Ecclesiasticall ministerie in the Church be by sinister persuasion and peruerse construction induced to fynd some scruple in the fourm of an othe which by an Act of the last parliament is prescrybed to be required of dyuers persons for the recognition of theyr allegiaunce to her Maiestie which certeinly neither was euer ment●●e by any equitie of words or good sence cā be ther of gathered Woulde that all her louynge subiectes should vnderstand that nothyng was is or shalbe ment or intended by the same othe to haue any other duetie allegiaunce or bonde required by the same othe then was acknowledged to be due to the mooste noble kynges of famous memory kyng Henry the .viii. her Maiesties father or kyng Edwarde the syxt her Maiesties brother And further her Maiestie forbyddeth all maner her subiectes to geue eare or credit to suche peruerse malitiouse persons which most sinisterly malitiously labour to notifie to her louing subiectes how by the wordes of the sayde othe it may be collected y t the kinges or Quenes of this realme possessours of the Crowne may chalenge aucthoritie and power of ministrie of diuine offices in the Churche wherein her said subiectes be much abused by such euyll disposed persons For certeinlye her Maiestie neither doth ne euer wyll challenge any other aucthoritie than that was challenged and lately vsed by the sayde noble kynges of famous memorye kyng Henry the eyght and kynge Edwarde the syxt which is and was of auncient tyme due to the Imperyall Crowne of this realme That is vnder God to haue the soueraintie rule ouer all maner persons borne within these her realmes dominions and countreys of what estate either ecclesiasticall or temporall so euer they be so as 〈◊〉 ther forraine power shal or ought to haue any superioritie ouer them And if any person that hath conceiued anye other sence of the fourme of the sayde othe shall accepte the same othe with this interpretacion sence or meanyng her maiestie is well pleased to accept euery such in that behalfe as her good and obedient subiectes shall acquite them of all maner penalties conteyned in the saide acte against such as shal peremptorily or obstinately refuse to take the same othe For the Tables in the church WHeras her Maiestie vnderstandeth that in many and sundry partes of the realme the Alters of the Churches be remoued tables placed for ministratiō of the holy sacrament accordynge to the fourme of the lawe therefore prouyded and in some other places the Alters be not yet remoued vpon opinion conceiued of some other order therin to be taken by her Maiesties visitours In thorder whereof sauynge for an vniformitie there semeth no matter of great moment so that the sacrament be duely and reuerently mynystred yet for obseruation of one vniformitie through the hole Realme for the better imitacion of the lawe in that behalfe it is ordered that no Alter be taken down but by ouersyght of the curate of the Churche and the churchwardens or one of them at the least wherin no riotous or disordred maner to be vsed and that the holy table in euery Churche be decently made and set in the place where the alter stode and there cōmonly couered as therto belongeth and as shalbe appoynted by the visitours and so to stande sauing when the cōmunion of the sacrament is to be distributed at whiche tyme the same shalbe so placed in good sorte within the Chauncell as wherby the minister may be more conueniently hearde of the communicantes in his prayer and ministration the cōmunicantes also more conueniently in more nomber communicate with the sayde minister and after the Communion done from tyme to tyme the same holy table to be placed where it stode before Item where also it was in the tyme of kyng Edward the syxt vsed to haue the sacramentall bread of common fine bread It is ordered for the more reuerence to be geuē to these holy misteries being the sacramentes of the bodye and bloud of our sauior Iesus Chryst that the same sacramentall bread be made and formed plaine without any figures thervpon of the same finenesse fashion rounde though somwhat bygger in compasse and thickenes as the vsuall breade and wafer heretofore named syngynge cakes which serued for the vse of the priuate masse ¶ The forme of biddinge the prayers to be vsed generally in this vniforme sorte YE shall pray for Christes holy
