Canon Richard Dixon's "History of the Church of England, Vol. 1," 14.
Acts about Probate and
Mortuaries. State of the Ecclesiastical
Courts and previous efforts at reform by ABC Warham (16). Previous efforts of
Warham and Wolsey to reform them—Court of Arches and Court of Audience (17). These
involved him in a conflict with his suffragans (18). Previous efforts of Wolsey
to reform them by his legatine authority absorbed the other Courts under his command,
more largely and unsatisfactorily. Act concerning Plurality and Non-residence (19),
a failed effort. Nice sentiment, but a failure. This contained the first blow struck in this
age against the Roman Jurisdiction (21). The character and demeanor of the Clergy. Designed
Clerical Reformation, or Reformation, by Councils, or “committee work” (23) It
was superseded (24). Character of Fisher (25) and Warham (26). Fisher opposes Henry
on the great matter from the beginning.
