CROMWELL’S ‘REMEMBRANCES’, EARLY APRIL 15351 Cromwell’s influence and power now pervaded almost every dark corner of Henry’s administration. Only the Church and religious doctrine still remained officially free of his autocratic meddling – but these soon fell prey to his domination. On 1 January 1535, the King granted him the extravagant titles of Vicar-General and Visitor-General of the Monasteries, thereby giving Cromwell authority and precedence even over the Archbishops of Canterbury and Yor...k, let alone the entire bench of bishops. In October that year, Cromwell set up his own ecclesiastical court to issue licences to approve preachers and probates for wills and to hear petitions for divorce. More significantly, it had the power to install bishops or dismiss a monastic prior.2 The Word of God had now taken on a political dimension, as it required governmental approval in many of its manifestations. Cromwell was also particularly interested in the wealth of the Church, having seen how convenient it was to appropriate monastic property for other purposes when he had worked for Wolsey a decade before.
