Reilly, S. A.

"Our Legal Heritage, 5th Ed."


A man may not marry his mother, stepmother, sister, niece, aunt,
or daughter.
Any clergy preaching contrary to the King's religious doctrine
shall recant for the first offense. He shall abjure and bear a
faggot (a badge resembling a faggot of wood which would have been
used for burning him as a heretic) for the second offense. If he
refuses to abjure or bear a faggot or offends a third time, he
shall be burned and lose all his goods. If a layperson teaches,
defends, or maintains a religious doctrine other than the King's,
he shall recant and be imprisoned for twenty days for the first
offense. He shall abjure and bear a faggot if he does not recant
or offends a second time. He shall forfeit his goods and suffer
perpetual imprisonment if he does not abjure or bear a faggot or
offends a third time.
The entry of an apprentice into a craft shall not cost more than
2s.6d. After his term, his entry shall not be more than 3s.4d.
This replaced the various fees ranging from this to 40s.
No master of a craft may require his apprentice to make an oath
not to compete with him by setting up a shop after the term of his
apprenticeship.
No alien may take up a craft or occupation in the nation.
