After his purchased Privilege at Rome, to visit the Dean, Chapter, Canons of Lincoln, and their Churches, he, his Deans, Archdeacons, Officials exceedingly oppressed, vexed those of his Diocese, as well Noble as ignoble, especially religious persons, Monks, under pretext of correcting, reforming their manners; enforcing them to make inquiries, presentments, and give in testimonies upon Oath in their Visitations and Courts, against their wills, never practiced before in England: Which the King hearing of by many grievous complaints, by advise of his Court and Council issued Writs of Prohibition to the Sheriffs of his Diocese, not to suffer that any Laymen in his Diocese at the will of the Bishop, or of his Archdeacons, Officials, or Rural Deans, from thenceforth to assemble in any place to make any Recognitions, Presentment, or Attestation upon their Oaths, except only in causes of Matrimony or Testament; (not of incontinency, manners, scandal) which Grosthead hearing of, asserted; That the King followed the footsteps of those in France, who had then newly broken forth into the like audacity, to cast off the Popes and Prelates extravagant Oppressions, Oaths, Censures, and entered into a Confederacy to assist each other, 698, 699, 700, 701, 702, 704, 761, 762.

Upon which the King issued forth this memorable Prohibition to the Bishop of Lincoln himself, reciting, We are informed, by the complaints of many, as well Great men of your Diocese, as others, that you by your Clerks and Deans, do everywhere cause certain poor men of your Diocese, and other Freemen, whose men or tenants soever they were, to be promiscuously cited, and draw them from divers places to sundry other places, and compel them by the power of excommunication, to appear before your said Clerks & Officers at divers places to their great burden, when they ought to attend their plowing, husbandry, and other necessary temporal affairs; by which they are unduly impoverished and enormously vexed: And moreover, which was never heard of before, the foresaid Inquisitors (or Visitors) compel them to swear concerning the private sins of others, which were not (as is reported) to be purged by public coertion, for which many Christians, perchance without merit, were shamefully defamed. And because these Vexations are devised against the long custom of the Realm, and a double danger hangs over the people by them, as well for the loss of their necessary labors, as by reason of the Oath taken upon the private facts of others, wherein men are deceived, by which they may easily incur the guilt of perjury; We therefore prohibit you, that from henceforth you do not cause such assemblies of the people to be made in your Diocese against the long-continued custom of our Realm: Neither also have we heard, That the Church hath used to compel any to give testimony but in certain causes, and unless any through favor, hatred, or force, shall withdraw himself from giving testimony. And know ye, that unless you shall desist from such unusual & undue vexations of our people, We cannot suffer them any longer, but shall put to our Royal hands to redress, punish you and them. Whereupon after 7. years contest between the King, his Court, Council, Bps. by these several prohibitions, this first introducer of Visitation Oaths, Inquisitions, Excommunications, & vexer of the Subjects by them was quelled, and his Innovations prevented, till Bonners time, who revived them, p. 705, 706, to 711, 761, 762.
