	The Act of Supremacy
		The name "Act of Supremacy" is given to two separate acts of the English Parliament, one passed in 1534 and the other in 1559.
		The Act of Supremacy must be seen as part of a broader policy, though, one aimed at increasing the power of the English monarch and decreasing the influence of Rome.
		Not surprisingly, Henry VIII's Act of Supremacy was repealed (1554) in the reign of his staunchly Catholic daughter, Mary I. Equally unsurprisingly, it was reinstated by Mary's Protestant sister, Elizabeth I, when she ascended the throne.

		Only twenty-four years had passed since the Act of Supremacy had transferred the headship of the Church from the Pope to the King; only eleven since the Protestant doctrine and worship had been forced on the country by the Protector Somerset, to the horror and disgust of the great majority of Englishmen.
		It revived the Act of Henry VIII., except that the Queen was styled Supreme Governor of the Church instead of Supreme Head, although the nature of the supremacy was precisely the same.
		Henry's oath of supremacy might be tendered to any subject, and to decline it was high treason; Elizabeth's oath was to be obligatory only on persons holding spiritual or temporal office under the Crown, and the penalty for declining was the loss of such office.

		This Act established as the Prayer Book of the Church of England a slightly modified form of the 1552 Book of Common Prayer drawn together by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer in the reign of Edward VI.
		Whilst the small differences between the 1552 and 1559 books are significant the book was strongly Protestant and the Act describes the Rome oriented and ritualistic changes during the intervening reign of Mary a 'decay of the due honour of God'.
		The 1559 Book, though later banned for a time was virtually unchanged when again adopted as the Prayer Book of the Church of England in 1662 and remains part of the formularies and the liturgical standard of today.

		The most significant act of the period was the Act of Supremacy (1534), and in the seven years in which Henry's Reformation Parliament met, it severed the ties of England to Rome and established royal supremacy over the church.
		The Reformation Act destroying the power of the church, laws enacted to control crime, civil disputes, disruptive behavior, trade, popula- tion movement, as well as the multitude of new taxes to in- crease revenue, was essentially carried out through the le- gitimacy of law under the guise of representation.
		Her Act of Supremacy (1559) provided a means of destroying Mary's pro-Rome "reac- tionary" legislation and in essence revived the anti-papal statutes of Henry VIII, which resulted in Crown assumption of all national power over the Church (Black, 1959: 14).
