[1252] There were "similar proclamations of 16th November, 1538 (Strype, Cranmer, ed. 1812, I, 98) and of 1539 (Wilkins, III, 847). The proclamations had the force of law, as can be seen from 31 Hen. VIII. (1539), c. 8."—Makower, op. cit., 221, note. Cf. Statutes at Large, II, 143.
[1253] This statute (31 Hen. VIII., c. 14) may be found in Gee and Hardy, Documents, 303-19; an abstract in Makower, op. cit., 221 n. 19; and a summary in Statutes at Large, II, 149. Compare the comments on the act as showing matrimony "to have been a more grievous offence than concubinage," in New Monthly Review, XXIX (1763), 270.
