Angliae Primatis, dispensatoris decimae proventuum Ecclesiasti∣corum* 1.1 nobis in Regno nostro à sede Apostolica concessae, collectoribus ejusdem decimae in Episcopatibus Sarum. & Cicestr. directas in haec verba, W. permissione divina Eborum Archiepiscopus Angliae Primas dispensaror decimae proventuum Ec∣clesiasticorum Domino H.

King Henry in the 54. year of his Raign was very active and intentive in collect∣ing and disposing the Dismes granted him for 3. years space by the Pope, towards the relief of his necessities and satisfying of his Debts by reason of the late Wars and troubles, and levying the Dismes granted him for the relief of the Holy Land, and calling the Collectors thereof both in England and Ireland to an account, for which many Bishops and Diocesses compounded for a certain summe in grosse, or annuall payment, which some Bishops advanced beforehand, as these ensuing Records at∣test, wherein our Histories are silent.
