Anglican EnglandSix Articles, Written by Parliament, 1539.

First, that in the most blessed Sacrament of the Altar, by the strength and efficacy of Christ's mighty word, it being spoken by the priest, is present really, under the form of bread and wine, the natural body and blood of Our Savior Jesus Christ, conceived of the Virgin Mary, and that after the consecration there remained no substance of bread and wine, nor any other substance but the substance of Christ, God and man;

Secondly, that communion in both kinds is not necessary for salvation, by the law of God, to all persons; and that it is to be believed, and not doubted of, but that in the flesh, under the form of the bread, is the very blood; and with the blood, under the form of the wine, is the very flesh; as well apart, as though they were both together.

Thirdly, that priests after the order of priesthood received, as afore, may not marry, by the law of God.

Fourthly, that vows of chastity or widowhood, by man or woman made to God advisedly, ought to be observed by the law of God; and that it exempts them from other liberties of Christian people, which without that they might enjoy.

Fifthly, that it is meet and necessary that private masses be continued and admitted in this the King's English Church and Congregation, as whereby good Christian people, ordering themselves accordingly, do receive both godly and goodly consolations and benefits; and it is agreeable also to God's law.

Sixthly, that verbal confession is expedient and necessary to be retained and continued, used and frequented in the Church of God.Describe the first article:

Henry VIII: Majesty with Menace, Professor Ronald Hutton, 2011As a man, he had notable virtues. He was genuinely charming, being boisterously affectionate, having a desperate desire to please, and taking a real interest in other people. The king's negative qualities were the other faces of his positive attributes. If he was demonstrative in his affections, so was he in his rages, abusing courtiers verbally and physically. His flamboyance could lead him into scenes which embarrassed all observers, such as the weeks of public blubbering which followed the revelation that his fifth queen, Catherine Howard, had been unfaithful to him. One has the impression that his courtiers often felt that they were dealing with a huge child; and a lethally dangerous one. His craving for admiration and success led him to throw tantrums each time his policies were checked or failed, and to turn furiously against both who had advised them and those who had resisted them. His reign probably contained more political executions than any other of comparable length in English history - 330 in the years 1532-40 alone - and the king took a personal interest in increasing the physical suffering and humiliation of some of those condemned.

Given Henry's status as father of the English Reformation, it is remarkable how little personal piety is revealed by his annotations of religious books. They are concerned with the details of ceremony and with royal power; he deleted the blessing of the poor and meek from the Sermon on the Mount. His damage to traditional Christianity in England is obvious: his policies resulted in the destruction of hundreds of beautiful buildings and works of art, incalculable damage to libraries, and the execution of the Englishmen mostly widely respected in Europe for their godliness. In place of all this he instituted not a Protestant Church (that was the work of his children), but a decaying Catholic one. It is easy to make the case that he was far more interested in his control of English religion than in the quality of it.
