We have been living in an era of protecting the criminal and persecuting the righteous, an explanation ....... presented through David P Griffiths

Understanding British Justice from the outset requires an understanding that despite of common belief Great Britain has written Constitutional Acts that surround the Monarch who is Head of State not only of the Nation but also what is described as Anglicana Ecclesia. These acts have given freedom of choice for centuries not only to our nation but to the whole world, so many legal systems being based on these to bring fairness and justice rather than suppression and overzealous application of legalism.

​

We have moved away from this, thus intercessions following outside a CROWN COURT IN CHESTER, at the INNER TEMPLE IN LONDON and at Runnymede, the setting for MAGNA CARTA.

 

Great Britain therefore clearly has written Constitutional Acts around the Monarch but more important than this, these are designed to be spoken out so we have more than a written Constitution, we have a spoken one and the significance of this will be made clear!

 

It is undoubtedly true that compromising our Constitutional Acts seriously has affected the peace and harmony the British people long for, not only for ourselves but also for the whole world in danger of coming under a global order of communism that suppresses free choice.

 

The British Constitutional Acts given under God respect the freedom of choice communism rejects and because of the demand to apply law with law and justice in mercy, judges who represent the Monarch in our courts are required to be wise not under regulation and rule but under the heart of the Monarch who is called to apply law mercifully.

 

Since the beginning of coming under Brussels control we have had laws undemocratically forced upon us causing much heartache and suffering to so many. The history of British justice does not relate at all to the Corpus Juris of Europe, our history demanding evidence rather than suspicion and perception, a hallmark of the EU system and more importantly we will prove that in our justice system spirituality has preference over the temporal, a very important point for this deals with underlying factors not seen by the outward appearance. This is why the Bible places wisdom above knowledge, it being our history to have bank managers in our local communities having local knowledge – yes – but more importantly being able to make decisions with wisdom, a factor computer technology cannot provide. This applies to all aspects of life and it is our aim of to bring this wisdom to our nation, to bring change from the order of the establishment to those who look for us to return to the foundations our fathers have set.

 

Proverbs 22:28 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

 

 

Romans 10:10 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

 

2 Corinthians 3:6 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

6 who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

 

Ephesians 6:17 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

 

Now, the Bible is given major prominence with British Justice. For centuries it has been sworn on in our courts and it is referred to in the Coronation Service as the most valuable book this world affords so I make no apology for referring to it  – but it is far more than a written book, it is designed to be spoken out literally as led by the Spirit of God which is the whole heart of our Coronation Service.

 

By returning to this spirituality or virtue as it is referred to in our 1534 Act of Supremacy we can have a nation at peace with itself, able to move on and prosper. It is not a form of religious suppression, quite the opposite in fact – it is freedom for the Spirit brings LIFE and LIFE in abundance, the whole heart of the Gospel the Monarch is on oath to uphold.

 

Before reading the 1534 Act of Supremacy:  Understanding two Greek words that mean “word” will really help in understanding the virtue that is clearly emphasized in the Act. These two words are essential for understanding Great Britain’s Constitutional Acts which primarily are spiritual in presentation – logos and rhema .

 

According to Vine’s Expository the word logos in our context here means an expression of thought, a conception, idea, saying, statement by God:

 

John 15:25 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

 

Galatians 5:14 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

 

We understand therefore that logos used here means literally WRITTEN WORD. In the context therefore of our Constitutional Acts THEY ARE WRITTEN but like the Word of God there is so much more to come and that comes with the word rhema.

 

According to Vine’s Expository the word rhema in our context here means word that is spoken within the understanding of the Act of Supremacy with virtue. Referring to Ephesians 6, Vine refers to rhema (as distinct from logos) as exemplified in the injunction to take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and to quote the reference is not to the whole Bible as such, but to the individual scripture which the Spirit brings to our remembrance for use in time of need, a prerequisite being the regular storing of the mind with scripture.

 

We show from the Act of Supremacy only at this stage that British Justice is justice of the heart rather than the letter, and that because of the demand for virtue in relation to the ultimate Supremacy in our country, then we have a nation with a Monarch who proclaims our Constitution in her Constitutional Oath applying law with law and justice in mercy.

 

Ephesians 6:17 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

 

Romans 10:18 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

 

Indeed our Constitution is not only written, but spoken with the sounds of our heritage of justice affecting political and legal systems all over the world.

 

Virtue and understanding brings the stability our nation needs as it acknowledges the democracy of Magna Carta and the supremacy of God in the hearts of believers.

​

• The Acts of Supremacy 1534 & 1559

 

As you come to reading these acts, it is obvious that at the heart of this is God holding the Supremacy, a higher force than the intellect of humankind but God using mortal flesh as his body on earth.

 

Romans 7:4 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

 

Coming from this verse is a principle of covenant above the law and this is the heart of British Justice, well different than the avenues of utilitarianism that has infected British law. (See http://www.constitutionkeepers.org/#!defeating-the-house-of-lords/c10l2) The website reference refers to how other philosophies have crept into law-making in Britain, that now with the withdrawal from the EU we can attempt to put right.

 

A nation divided is one that has forsaken covenant with its God and Queen Elizabeth I knew this in her restoration of this act to the statute book in 1559. To understand the act however one has to move way beyond human thinking to understand that it is not God’s will to be far off from us – but to be with us and in us in our everyday decisions. 

 

This is the whole heart of British justice in that it is one based on covenant with God rather than the extremity of law making against each other as EU law has been, the latter being divisive and non-productive.

 

Jeremiah 3:14 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

 

Ephesians 5:30-32 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

 

John 15:13 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

 

John 3:16 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

In the days before the Act of Supremacy of 1534, Priests were regarded as people that did not have to honour the law of a land and so with this act in the 1500’s we have an understanding developing of the Royal Priesthood of Believers where no man was seen as more important than the next. I believe since the UK Leave Referendum from the EU there is a desire for a change in the political arena, people desiring to be represented by people they can associate with, not an elite class, but people who are open, transparent, forgiving and caring and all this has been a part of British Justice in the past – rather than the criminalizing forces of EU law making we have been under for too long.

 

These criminalizing forces have brought a culture of protecting those of a certain ideology namely marxism and immorality, and attacking those who uphold the Constitution, the Gospel the Monarch is pledged on Oath to uphold and traditional values.

​

From this has come a culture of those who are protected and those who are targeted, this ministry coming into the category of the latter, receiving threats in 2010 proclaiming we will be destroyed through official channels, resulting in legal action after legal action against us costing thousand of pounds of resources, one senior Police Officer telling us that there are those in high places targeting us. We stand on the Constitution of our nation that declares the Word of God as being the most valuable book this world affords.

 

1 Peter 2:9 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

 

Revelation 1:6 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

6 and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him beglory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

 

Romans 8:17 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

 

During the Referendum campaign I was on a farm near Ruthin, North Wales with Rt Hons Chris Grayling and David Jones, both clearly caring politicians who genuinely appreciate the battles of everyday people. The cry from the farm’s administrator was that in the past under British law we received help from government but that now with the EU there was a feeling that they were criminals rather than farmers. This is because EU law lacks the heart that British Justice gives and it is with this heart we look to return our country back to normality.

​

NORMAL HARD WORKING PEOPLE ARE BEING TARGETED AND CRIMINALIZED UNDER MARXIST EU LAW, ITS IDEOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY HAVING TAKEN AWAY TRADITIONAL BRITISH JUSTICE. THESE INTERCESSIONS ARE ABOUT GETTING IT BACK.!

 

It is my view that a nation has to work together as a united team, supporting and caring for one another recognizing individual strengths and weaknesses, thus we have a very precious Act here that gives us just that, the act clearly giving the Church the lead in this, the Monarch not only being Head of State but of the National Church too.

 

1534 ACT OF SUPREMACY. Albeit the king's Majesty justly and rightfully is and ought to be the supreme head of the Church of England, and so is recognized by the clergy of this realm in their convocations, yet nevertheless, for corroboration and confirmation thereof, and for increase of virtue in Christ's religion within this realm of England, and to repress and extirpate all errors, heresies, and other enormities and abuses heretofore used in the same, be it enacted, by authority of this present Parliament, that the king, our sovereign lord, his heirs and successors, kings of this realm, shall be taken, accepted, and reputed the only supreme head in earth of the Church of England, called Anglicans Ecclesia; and shall have and enjoy, annexed and united to the imperial crown of this realm, as well the title and style thereof, as all honors, dignities, preeminences, jurisdictions, privileges, authorities, immunities, profits, and commodities to the said dignity of the supreme head of the same Church belonging and appertaining; and that our said sovereign lord, his heirs and successors, kings of this realm, shall have full power and authority from time to time to visit, repress, redress, record, order, correct, restrain, and amend all such errors, heresies, abuses, offenses, contempts and enormities, whatsoever they be, which by any manner of spiritual authority or jurisdiction ought or may lawfully be reformed, repressed, ordered, redressed, corrected, restrained, or amended, most to the pleasure of Almighty God, the increase of virtue in Christ's religion, and for the conservation of the peace, unity, and tranquility of this realm; any usage, foreign land, foreign authority, prescription, or any other thing or things to the contrary hereof notwithstanding. http://www.britainexpress.com/History/tudor/supremacy-henry-text.htm

 

The obligations of this act are as follows:

 

1. Increase in virtue (anointing) of Christ’s Religion. As we look to return the nation back to the heart of British Justice it is very important to understand the word virtue as it comes right at the beginning of this Constitutional Act.

 

To gain understanding we look at this word alongside understanding of what it means to have a Constitution which Great Britain undoubtedly has.

 

According to the Oxford Dictionary a Constitution is as follows:

 

A body of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is acknowledged to be governed:

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/constitution

 

The same dictionary refers to virtue as follows:

 

 A quality considered morally good or desirable in a person

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/virtue

 

The act however places the word virtue within the context of Christ’s Religion. To gain full understanding of the word we need to examine how the word is used within the context of scripture.

 

2 Peter 1:1-4 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

​

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

​

This letter of Peter is addressed to the Church and within the context of our Constitutional Acts Church and State are together so we can therefore take scripture as the Monarch took scripture in the Coronation Service.We therefore can conclude that not only virtue is required in this equation but also glory! This having escaped corruption, endemic within the EU for their law making lacked this virtue so required in British law. Above all this is the requirement to be partakers of Christ’s divine nature. What a difference that would bring to Parliament for we would have Parliamentarians of self-sacrifice and commitment on all sides rather than those who see the vocation as a career in the interests of selfish lust and self-satisfaction.

​

2 Peter 1:5 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

 

Under the EU we have lived in a pessimistic, over-regulated and suppressed society but here with our own Constitutional Acts we have a vibrant alternative. The people are fed up with politicians who know everything with their self-righteous pronouncements that have led to austerity and fear. Here is a real alternative to this by honouring the God of our Constitutional Acts who calls us to give all diligence, adding to our faith virtue and to our virtue knowledge, in that order. What has happened in our educational system is the pursuit of knowledge without virtue leaving us a virtue-less society without moral fibre that has been crumbling all around us. So what is faith?

 

Hebrews 11:1 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

 

Proverbs 4:7 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

​

2) Repress and extirpate all errors, heresies, and other enormities and abuses.

 

Thomas Stephen’s Book of the Constitution of Great Britain reminds us that this Act was given within the context of Britain having been subject to a foreign power, at this time Rome rather than the Treaty of Rome. Henry VIII was determined to see that this would never happen again, thus the European treaties had become a threat to this Supremacy with their taking out of the Supremacy of God, remembering the whole ethos here being in virtue, that is an out-going God actually living in the hearts of believers. The believers were to become the manifestation of God so we have a spoken as well as written Constitution, a Constitution to be applied with virtue, rather than the letter which is the hallmark of the EU.

​

https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-YdhAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA695&lpg=PA695&dq=Repress+and+extirpate+all+errors,+heresies,+and+other+enormities+and+abuses.&source=bl&ots=N5rkWU4NQi&sig=sNe4QTe4UYi-6ECyqz3DD2IT8Yo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwilnJuIrOHNAhXlBsAKHSNmA8oQ6AEIJzAC#v=onepage&q=Repress%20and%20extirpate%20all%20errors%2C%20heresies%2C%20and%20other%20enormities%20and%20abuses.&f=false page 695

 

It is my view therefore that the errors, heresies, and other enormities and abuses intimated here relate to a foreign power looking to question the individual sovereignty of a nation that is instructed to be repressed here.

 

Now to understand the theological position here, one has to answer the question as to where the Supremacy of the Act actually lies. Stephen’s concurs that with the Church of Scotland, the Church of England has traditionally stood for the fact that there is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ, the supremacy of the crown being of a temporal nature confined to civil government of clergy and laity. However, I seek to differ from Stephen for I believe there is something far deeper here in understanding our precious Constitutional Acts.

 

The question came up with Peter.

 

Matthew 16:13-20 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

 

The question Jesus was asking here is fundamental to the understanding of our Constitutional Acts for within this text is the true understanding of them. Firstly, the Christ was asking the opinion of humankind. Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? The answer that came was in a variety of human opinion, the blessing however coming to Peter for his reply had come with virtue, that special ingredient that comes with a God given answer, a God given reply which is exactly the reason why the Lords Spiritual and Temporal was set up, to give decisions with virtue, virtue that gives stability rather than the inconsistencies of human thought which is only temporal. What our nation needs is stability and consistency to overcome today’s major questions, politicians of the heart above those of ever-changing opinion.

 

From this position came supremacy to Peter in Christ’s Name, not his own name as the Apostle Paul clearly intimated.

 

Galatians 2:20 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

​

We discover from this that the faith required in this Act of Supremacy is not of human origin but of the Christ that liveth in us. Is this not clear in Matthew 16? Roman Catholicism has traditionally taught that the rock intimated here is Peter whilst Protestants have declared Christ – but with due respect to all I have to say the conclusion is wrong on all sides, the correct answer being relevant in understanding this Act of Supremacy for who is supreme?

 

The Christ that is shown as “the rock”, the stability on which the church was to be built was the Christ that was to become the inward strength of believers for thus followed the actual supremacy, the keys of authority that includes the ability to bind and to loose not only in the heavenly realm but also on earth and it is with this that the authority and stability lies. This is the history that made Britain great!

​

They may try to jail us in this ministry but it is the righteous who hold the keys of of authority, not those who have come in to run rough-shod over our political and legal systems, and it is us now, WE THE RIGHTEOUS OF GOD who need to restore back to our nation the liberty and freedom OUR CONSTITUTIONAL ACTS GIVE TO US.

 

1 John 4:4 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

 

3) The Monarch to act in the line of repressing the extremities that are religiously affecting the nation.

 

Religious extremism from all sides is perhaps the biggest threat affecting our nation, as it was in Jesus time on earth. Whenever he looked to bring LIFE, religious suppressives would be knocking on his door looking to pull down the virtue he was operating by.

 

Jesus’s response was uncompromising and it is this example that in my view is coming out of this precious Act restored by Queen Elizabeth I. In Britain today, the people have been afraid of religious extremists, not those who are extreme in their love for others but towards those who are so religiously bound they look to do harm to those of opposite view.

​

THE ROOT PROBLEM OF RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM IS SPIRITUAL AND CAN ONLY BE OVERCOME BY RETURNING TO THE LANDMARK OUR FATHERS HAVE SET, AND THAT IS THE WORD OF GOD AT THE HEART OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL ACTS AND THE OATH TO GOD OF THE MONARCH.

 

All our Constitutional Acts are choice giving, protecting the right of the individual to make that choice even to the point of choosing other gods including secular humanism. What is demanded in these acts is respect to what they stand for and to the Monarch who is there to uphold them in the nation, all government employees being bound to protect their principles. Sadly since EU membership this has broken down but can now be restored.

​

Social workers, doctors, nurses, teachers, pupils and teachers have been taught to another ideology, an ideology of marxism that is failing. David Kurten, UKIP's Education and Apprenticeships Spokesman has declared (noting this to be a constitutional rather than political statement)  to fight what he describes as cultural marxism. We must stand up to political correctness and defend freedom of speech, especially the rights to discuss Islam or support traditional marriage and the family without threat of punishment or penalty."

​

IT IS THEREFORE VERY CLEAR THAT SINCE THE INTERCESSION AT HIGHGATE, THE INFILTRATION HAS COME OUT OF THE DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT, BEING BROUGHT TO THE FOREFRONT OF POLITICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL DISCUSSION, THE SUPPRESSION OF THE RIGHTEOUS NOW HAVING TO BE ADDRESSED TO ENABLE THOSE OF THE REMNANT TO COME TO THE FORE AND BRING OUR NATION NAVK TO THE GOD OF IT'S CONSTITUTIONAL ACTS.

​

As regards to what has become known as a religious spirit, what the Act does demand is a repression of religious extremism from self-righteous organizations that look down on others even to the point of bringing death and harm rather than healthy dialogue.

 

Jesus faced this every day and it was these individuals who brought the conditions for his crucifixion. Day by day Jesus faced a religious establishment that was binding and fierce placing heavy burden on the shoulders of humankind. The establishment as it has been in an EU dominated Britain occupied a self-righteous seat over-flowing with corruption, corruption coming out of a foreign power that had a Parliament and organisational structure on a par with the "Holy Roman Empire."

 

The servant heart of Christ comes out in the following passage and it is this that is coming out of this Act of Supremacy, that even though we have a Monarch who constitutionally is to have Christ within him/her, this Monarch is not to use this supremacy in a binding way, quite the contrary for the calling here is to serve the people.

 

Jesus declared that whosoever should be the greatest amongst the people should be the people’s servant, an important lesson for career minded politicians for it is to be the humble who are exalted rather than those who build themselves to be somebody amidst the people.

 

Mark 9:35 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

 

This is why at this time it is people of the heart who are coming to the fore, those with the inward passion for social justice and care, giving everyone a chance. It is those of religious orders that suppress all this looking to bind people into their clutches, to instruct them into their ways of self-righteousness that make them even more religiously bound than themselves! It happens all the time, and within this must comes the earlier warning through Jesus of vain repetition. We must not allow these Constitutional Acts and related oaths to them to be of vain repetition. We must not allow the Parliamentary Oath to be of routine and neither must we allow the prayers before each law making session to be of repetition – what the country is requiring is government officials of the heart primarily rather than Pharisaic hypocrites which for years have done our country great harm.

 

I (name of Member) swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.

http://www.parliament.uk/about/how/elections-and-voting/swearingin/#jump-link-2

 

Indeed the virtue required must come out again the Apostle Paul informing us of our own inability to pray, this being the work of the Spirit – just saying the words of an oath, or going through written prayers parrot-fashion is not accepted by God for this has to come by surrender to the Spirit to allow God to use his empty vessel.

 

Matthew 6:7 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

 

As we have discovered it is one thing to have the logos, another the rhema, for the latter requires the commitment, humility and servant-hood required for government office. Looking for a natural order first rather than a spiritual one is strictly forbidden in this Act of Supremacy and as Jesus did we must vigorously repress it.

 

Matthew 23 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

​

Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 

 

2 saying,

The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: 3 all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6 and love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 and greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

​

13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

​

16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

​

23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. 28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

​

29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,30 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33 Yeserpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

​

34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: 35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

 

Matthew 6:7 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

 

Romans 8:26-28 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

 

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

 

4) To conserve the peace, unity and tranquillity of the realm.

 

Ehler and Morrall in their book Church and State Through the Centuries p.163 refer to this act (1534 Act of Supremacy) as the theoretical coping stone of the legal edifice of the English Reformation. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2WuMyEzani8C&pg=PA164&lpg=PA164&dq=To+conserve+the+peace,+unity+and+tranquillity+of+the+realm&source=bl&ots=KyZePMIIF3&sig=fkraSicAWmT4ORopfIANsMLO0DU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiErc-VwOPNAhULAsAKHe14AKkQ6AEILzAD#v=onepage&q=To%20conserve%20the%20peace%2C%20unity%20and%20tranquillity%20of%20the%20realm&f=false

 

The concern of the act is primarily to ascertain the Supremacy of Great Britain and who was to be the Head of this, and this through the word virtue we have discovered, but there is a further concern in that the act was not only designed to remove foreign interference in our affairs then but in my view also forever. This has been the big error of EU law upon us where Henry VIII looked to counteract the Papal interference of Rome, we today are now counteracting the interference into our affairs from not only the Treaty of Rome but the many treaties that followed it.

 

It needs to be understood that there is a question here in relation to the authorship of this act, the act being written with a very high authority of virtue, within the context of the removal of foreign interference in the nation’s affairs so it is my view under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost that Thomas Cromwell wrote this act.

 

On hand he had the King’s demand for supremacy and on the other hand knowing that it was God who needed to be in control. The ideal solution therefore to keep the peace, unity and tranquillity of the realm was to take the Supremacy out of man’s hands and directly into God’s, to God’s on earth in the heart of the Monarch – for it was to be a spiritual covenant with God that was to bring the unity and tranquillity, and so after BREXIT I put forward this needs to be the case again, our present Monarch as Head of State already sworn to this ideal.

 

To support my argument in relation to authorship, Henry appointed Thomas Cromwell at the end of 1534 as his Vice Regent in spiritual affairs, in effect handing over the powers of supremacy to a spiritual man Thomas Cromwell, he then enacting this supremacy in keeping clergy in line with the ideal of keeping unity in the realm, whilst at the same time ridding the nation of foreign interference. http://www.thereformation.info/thomas_cromwell.htm

 

Today, with a Anglican community hopelessly split within its ranks there is such a need for a Thomas Cromwell today to step forward and return this community back to these reformist roots in not only bringing unity within its own ranks, but also to the nation as a whole, for this Act of Supremacy clearly places this obligation on the Canterbury authority.

 

For centuries therefore those moving in this supremacy and that included all clergy who understood the point of the act could claim immunity from prosecution, there being obligation on this clergy to manifest the virtue required to unify and bring peace to the nation. How this is required today! http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/tudor-england/royal-supremacy/

 

Why do I say this? It is clear from history that Henry VIII was a fiery character determined to grasp all authority from a foreign power likely in his own name as King. It is my view that Thomas Cromwell in writing the act knew this but was determined for all time that there be a clergy of the Church of England who would be walking in the holy paths of God. This would involve supporting a Monarch who truly knew the Christian obligation of surrender to a sovereign God, for the way the act is worded did not give supremacy to Henry at all. It gave supremacy to a Monarch so surrendered to God, to a Monarch operating as an empty vessel of God so that it would be God’s ideals coming to the forefront of our society.

 

In effect therefore if my theory is right, and I am convinced it is – it is therefore true to say that Cromwell was looking ahead prophetically towards that ideal. Supporting my view historically is what happened  through Queen Elizabeth I and her Coming Settlement that not only restored this Act of Supremacy to the Statute Book but increased its power, power that needs to manifest strongly today POST BREXIT, for what has happened is the same, we have been released from a foreign power and I believe we now need to give the supremacy back to God, to God in the hearts of believers, the Monarch leading the way as an example to the whole nation to bring peace, unity and tranquillity. Why else would we be having prayers before each Parliamentary Session if that was not the case? By praying first in effect we are putting God first in the law making!
