     The Act of the six Articles

An Act of 1533 also furnishes a kind of negative definition of heresy, for it provides that speaking against the authority of the Pope, or or against spiritual laws made by' the see of Rome repugnant to the laws of the realm or the authority of the King, shall not be deemed heresy.

In the Act of Supremacy, King Henry VIII declared that "the king's majesty justly and rightfully is and ought to be the supreme head of the Church of England." It was not Henry's desire to establish a separate church.
For example, in the Articles of Faith, which were issued in 1536, the Eucharistic presence was called "corporal and substantial" (although the term "transubstantiation" was not used).
Furthermore, it affirmed that justification was attained by "contrition and faith joined with charity," images of the saints were to be retained along with seeking their intercession, and prayers for the departed were encouraged.

The act reduced Catherine’s status to that of a commoner, bastardized their daughter Mary (who could not have been a legitimate Tudor heir if the marriage was never legal to begin with), and forced all male subjects take the oath of supremacy swearing allegiance to Henry and his Tudor successors.
Although the act laid down penalties for the “malicious” denial of the Royal Supremacy, the qualification was ambivalent at best, and there was a widespread feeling that this wording applied to verbal offences as well as others more serious.
The Act of Supremacy in 1534 was generally not a concern for the rebels.

 Historical Figures - Henry VIII
Following excommunication by Rome July 11, 1533 over his divorce from Catherine (which was not sanctioned by the Pope, who was under pressure from Catherine's nephew, Charles V at the time), Henry split from the Roman Catholic Church, seized many of the Church's assets, and formed the Church of England.
The other major achievement of Henry's reign was the Act of Union of 1536, which effectively brought Wales under English government, with the result that the first Welsh members of parliament were elected in 1542.
For this reason (for it was not known in those days that the gender of the child is determined by the father and not the mother), Henry had his marriage with Boleyn annulled, and had her executed in 1536 on trumped up charges of adultery, and married Jane Seymour shortly afterwards.
