ESTC locates 4 copies in the U.S.: Folger Huntington Harvard Yale. First edition of the first visitation articles established for the reformed church after Elizabeth’s accession. The visitation articles are a series of 56 questions that were to be asked by church commissioners as they visited each parish within the kingdom. They include inquiries into the number of people imprisoned starved or burned at the stake during Mary’s reign; the number of known drunkards adulterers brawlers sorcerers book burners possessors of unlawful books and minstrels or others who “do use to synge or saye anye songes or dytties that be vyle or uncleane and especially in derision of anye godly ordre nowe sette forth and established†in a given parish. “On 19 July 1559 Elizabeth issued a royal proclamation publishing her fifty-three ‘Injunctions’ which set forth to the clergy the form and substance of the Elizabethan Church established by the 1559 Act of Uniformity. Besides calling ‘all ecclesiastical persons’ to observe all the laws that restored to the Crown the ancient jurisdiction over the ‘state ecclesiastical’ the Injunctions specified that educated and licensed preachers should preach the Word of God or lacking such preachers that homilies should be read; that accessories for Catholic worship should be removed from churches and that Bibles should replace them… They called upon the Queen’s subjects to live in charity and to avoid religious epithets like ‘papist’ or ‘schismatic’ as words of reproach. Among the Injunctions one called for press licensing to deter printed books against the religious settlement… Besides those statutes that established Elizabeth’s succession and Church settlement among the earliest acts of Elizaneth I’s first Parliament were those that extended the Marian treason statutes. The first of these included in the definition of high treason writing or printing anything saying that the Queen was not entitled to rule or that someone else was. The second act extended the Marian statute that criminalized false slanderous and seditious news about the Queen.†Clegg Censorship and the Press 1580-1720 pp. 9-10 That the re-implementation of Protestant reforms was of paramount importance for Elizabeth is reflected in the second and third articles: The second article inquires “Whether in theyr Churches and chapels al ymages shrynes al tables Candelstickes Trindelles or rolles of Mare Pictures Payntynges and al other monuments of fayned and false myracles Pylgrymages ydolatrye and superstition be removed abolished and destroyed.†While the third asks whether the vicars… “openly playnley and distinctlye recite to theyr paryshners in the Pulpit the Lordes prayer the Belief and the tenne commaundements in Englyshe.†Further each parishioner is to be “admonished… that they ought not to presume to receive the sacrament of the body & bloud of Christ before they can perfectly recite the Lordes prayer the articles of the faith and the x. commaundementes in Englyshe.â€Article 12 And of course the old rite is to be suppressed. In article 9 the Commissioners are asked to discover whether any of the vicars curates or ministers declare “anyte thynge to the extollynge or settynge forth of vayne and superstitious religion pylgrimages reliques or ymages or lyghtyngge of candelles kyssinge knelynge eckynge of the same ymages.†The question regarding sorcery seems to encompass the work of midwives: “Whether you knowe any that doe use charmes sorcerye enchauntmentes invocations circles witchcrafts southsayinge or any lyke craftes or ymagniationes invented by the Devyll and specyallye in the tyme of womens travayle.†As regards books the 46th article asks “What bokes of goddess scripture you have delivered to be burnte or otherwise distroied ad to whom ye have delivered the same.†And the 52nd concerns “makers bringers biers sellers kepers or conveyers of anye unlawfull books whiche might styre or provoke seditionâ€. Provenance: Humphrey Dyson 1582-1633 a scrivener and notary was a noteworthy English book collector with possible ties to Shakespeare's circle. “Humfrey Dyson d. 1633 book collector was probably the son of Christopher Dyson d. 1609 wax chandler of the parish of St Alban Wood Street London and his wife Mary. He was practising as a notary public by 1609 when he witnessed Christopher's will and continued to do so until shortly before his death drawing up wills and other documents. He was a citizen of London as a member of the Wax Chandlers' Company from 1603 and married Elizabeth daughter of Thomas Speght d. 1621 the editor of Geoffrey Chaucer and John Lydgate. “Dyson is notable chiefly for the enormous library he amassed. No catalogue of the library is known apart from six notebooks All Souls College Oxford MS 117 listing in order of date of publication those books ‘touching as well the State Ecclesiasticall as Temporall of the Realme of England’: in 1631 these alone totalled nearly 1100. He also owned a large number of works of Elizabethan and Jacobean literature; in some instances his is now the unique surviving copy. Nearly all the extant printed proclamations of Queen Elizabeth I's reign belong to the seven sets each of which he collected together bound and provided with its own specially printed title-page 1618. Dyson printed nothing else but he collaborated in the 1633 revision of John Stow's Survey of London—an edition that included many copies of acts of parliament and of the common council of London. “Dyson died between 7 January 1633 when he made his will as a parishioner of St Olave Jewry London and 28 February 1633 when it was proved. In it he made monetary bequests to his four daughters and two sons allowed the use of his professional papers to his apprentices and gave a two-volume book of statutes to ‘my noble friend Sir William Paddy … to be by him put and given to the library of St John's College in Oxford’. He directed simply that his other books be sold by William Jumper; a great many of them were acquired by Richard Smith d. 1675 and were dispersed when his library was sold in 1682. Thomas Baker wrote: ‘There are Books chiefly in old English almost in every Library that have belong'd to H. Dyson with his Name upon them’ Hearne 7.369.â€Nigel Ramsay ODNB STC 10118 Imprinted… in Povles Churcheyarde by Richard Iugge and Iohn Cavvood, Printers to the Quenes Maiestie, unknown books

From the Middle Ages in England and France it was believed that scrofula or "the King's Evil" could be cured by the touch of royalty; ceremonies were held in which the King would touch and "heal" hundreds of afflicted subjects. <br/>By the late 1400s it was believed that one could also be cured by touching a type of coin called an angel which had been touched by the monarch. After angels ceased to be minted in the 1620s the same effect was said to be achieved by touching a gold medallion embossed much like the old coin.<br/>Some monarchs touched many people. King Henry IV of France touched up to 1500 at one time. The last English monarch to carry out this practice was Queen Anne who died in 1714 but it continued in France. Louis XV touched more than 2000 scrofula sufferers and the last French monarch to do this was Charles X in 1825 Science Museum London. Cf. F Barlow "The King's Evil"Â The English Historical Review 95/374 January 1980 pp 3-27; M BlochThe Royal Touch: Sacred Monarchy and Scrofula in England and France London: Routledge & Kegan Paul 1973.<br/>The present broadside setting the dates for such ceremonies is rare on the market: no copies are listed for sale and none have appeared at auction. It also is signed in type by Lord Chief Justice George Jeffryes sic "The Hanging Judge" amongst others.<br/>An interesting manuscript note in a contemporary hand at the lower margin with significant loss calls the attention of "All Parsons Vicars and Curates" to the regulations set forth in the broadside.
