Summary
Articles drawn out by some certain and were exhibited to be admitted by authority, but not so allowed.
1. The bishop of the diocese to gain jurisdiction in the sites of the late monasteries and to appoint them to several parish churches if they be of no parish already.
Whereas in sundry places of this realm commonly the sites of the late monasteries, abbeys, priories, nunneries, cells, houses of prayer, hospitals, colleges and other religious and ecclesiastical houses and divers other places to the same belonging heretofore have been of the peculiar jurisdiction of the late abbots, priors and other governors masters and heads of the said houses, and have been exempt from all visitations and other jurisdiction of the ordinary within whose diocese they were situate, and as yet are, parts whereof neither were nor yet are of any several parish or parishes and so have remained since the several dissolutions of the said late monasteries, and having at this day neither church nor chapel certain whereunto to resort either to hear common prayer or to be partakers of the sacraments, by reason whereof great disorder and licentious living, with manifest contempt of religious and divine service, heretofore hath and daily doth grow, to the great displeasure of Almighty God and evil example of Christian people; for reformation whereof it may be enacted etc. that all and singular exempt and particular jurisdictions of the said sites and other places to the same belonging may utterly from henceforth cease and may be extinguished, and that it may be lawful for the bishop of the diocese where such exempt places are, to assign and limit of what several parishes the said places or any of them and the inhabitants thereof shall be. And the said bishop and archdeacon to have ordinary jurisdiction over them in all causes ecclesiastical to all respects as he hath in any other place or places of his diocese where he is ordinary. Provided that this order shall not extend to the site of any late monastery, priory, and neither to the site jurisdiction or jurisdictions or privilege where any cathedral or collegiate church or college is now erected or endowed withal, but that the same and the jurisdiction thereunto belonging shall still remain as it doth at this present.
