19, was passed, which enacted, that " for lack of justice in any of the Courts of the Archbishops of this realm, " an Appeal should lie to the King in Chancery, and that upon every such Appeal, the Crown should appoint Delegates to hear and definitively determine the cause. Afterwards, however, in virtue of the prerogative, the Crown was considered to have the power of issuing a Com- mission of Review, for the purpose of revising the judgment of the Delegates. This statute determined the course... of appeals without any reference to the royal supremacy. The Stat. 26 Hen. VIII. C. ], declared the King to be supreme head in earth of the Church of England, and gave him authority to " visit, repress, and correct errors, heresies and abuses, which by any manner of spiritual 1:2 authority iniglit lawfully be reformed. " This statute was repealed in Queen Mary's time, and was never revived. But the Stat. 1 Eliz. C. 1, gave a like power to the Queen ; and it also gave her w^hat the former statute had not given to the Crow^n— -the means of exercising that power by the Higli Commission Court, afterwards made an instrument of great oppression and cruelty, and finally, and deservedly abolished by the If) Car.
