Gardiner’s Reply to Supplication Unwelcome
Stephen Gardiner was entrusted with the framing of a reply, which was adopted by convocation and in the hands of the king before the end of the month. In it, the ordinaries pointed out that the Supplication was full of sweeping general charges unsupported by a single specific instance.
The King is 'very angry' with Gardiner
13 May 1532
Extract from the dispatch from Imperial Ambassador Eustace Chapuys to Charles V.
Parliament is discussing the revocation of all synodal and other constitutions made by the English clergy, and the prohibition on holding synods without express licence from the king. This is a strange thing. Churchmen will be of less account than shoemakers, who have the power to assemble and make their own statutes. The king also wishes bishops not to have the power to lay hands on persons accused of heresy, saying that it is not their duty to meddle with bodies, and that they are only doctors of the soul. The Chancellor and the bishops oppose him. He is very angry, especially with the Chancellor (Sir Thomas More) and (Stephen Gardiner) the Bishop of Winchester, and is determined to carry the matter. London, 13 May 1532.

The Submission of the Clergy
15 May 1532
The Submission of the Clergy was a process by which the clergy submitted to the King’s Majesty (supreme authority) and gave up their assumed power to formulate church laws (cannons) without the king's permission. The submission took place at the so-called Rump Convocation despite Archbishop William Warham's protests. As a consequence, from 15 May 1532 there were no more church laws passed without the king’s permission.
