Canon Richard Dixon's "History of the Church of England, Vol. 4," 64ff.

MARY’S ACTION-PACKED HIGH ROLLERS ARE RUNNING THE GAME. The Parliamentary session resumed in Oct 1553 within the first 90 days (63.) Act affirming the legitimacy of the Queen which gores earlier royal actions, including Henry. It charges Cranmer with the divorce of Katharine and Henry—the language is brutal (64). It makes no mention of the papal authority—conveniently (65). Act to repeal all the statutes of Edward concerning religion. Again, no mention of the papal authority. She’s still style the “Supreme Head,” or, in our word, “Supreme Headmistress of the Church of England.” Remarkable language of the preamble. It repealed nine Acts: those on uniformity, marriage of priests, books and images, ordering of ministers, holidays. It set a day, 20 December 1553, basically 120 days, for the Latin service instead of the English (66). It restored religion to the state of the last year of Henry VIII. It left many of the clergy under danger from earlier subscriptions, though it was not of pains and penalties (just strong Royal hints). Act against disturbers of ministers (67). Act against unlawful assemblies greater than twelve (68). Trial of Cranmer, the Lady Jane, and some of the Dudleys for  treason, 13 Nov—61 days since Dr. Cranmer’s imprisonment. Their condemnation confirmed by Parliament. Cranmer's letter to the Queen—frankly, a specious piece of cowardice. Man up, Dr. Cranmer. Stand your ground, Sir. He desires leave to open his mind to her in matters of religion (69). Good luck with that Thomas. Canterbury is being run by the Dean. Other Acts of the session (70). The abbey and chantry lands not to be restored (hah, the aristocrats had already lined their pockets so that’s off the docket): the session ends, 6 Dec.  Convocation, 7 Oct (71). Mass celebrated at the high altar of St. Paul s. The Sermon and Orations. Weston, in his speech, a high roller, denies that the Prayer Book ever passed Convocation while impaling the BCP for heresy. (73). As already noted, in the writs for this Convocation the Queen bore the title of Supreme Head (74). Convocation met for business, 18 Oct. Weston, the Prolocutor, denounces the Short Catechism, the Forty- two Articles, and the English Prayer Book—it’s ugly and his game is to undo them.  This Convocation made no reference to the Papacy—whom they all had previously rejected since 1533ish through 1553ish—a convenient omission. (75). Weston’s two bills on the Sacrament: disown the Catechism and sign right here, fellas. The leaders of the Opposition (75). Philpot: he objects to subscription without any disputation (76). Disputation on the Sacrament, 23 Oct (77). All this within 90 days of Queen Mary. Things are on a roll! Brace for heavy rolls, Shipmates! Weston takes the position that the disputation is merely to answer objections against accepted truth. The Disputation continued, 25 October. Game on! Philpot versus the Prolocutor (78). AND THEN, SOME ANGLICANS TELL US OF LAUD’S ACCEPTABLE VIEWS OF THE TABLE, TELLING US ANGLICANISM STARTED WITH THE CAROLINE DIVINES. Heard it (again) last week. SMH.
