I. P. 314.
** See note Q, at the end of the volume.
The clergy have been commonly so fortunate as to make a concern fortheir temporal interests go hand in hand with a jealousy for orthodoxy;and both these passions be regarded by the people, ignorant andsuperstitious, as proofs of zeal for religion: but the violent andheadstrong character of Henry now disjoined these objects. His rapacitywas gratified by plundering the church, his bigotry and arrogance bypersecuting heretics. Though he engag...ed the parliament to mitigatethe penalties of the six articles, so far as regards the marriageof priests, which was now only subjected to a forfeiture of goods, chattels, and lands during life, he was still equally bent onmaintaining a rigid purity in speculative principles. He had appointeda commission, consisting of the two archbishops and several bishopsof both provinces, together with a considerable number of doctors ofdivinity; and by virtue of his ecclesiastical supremacy, he hadgiven them in charge to choose a religion for his people.
