      • The Act in Restraint of Appeals  (April 1533)
        • Drawn by Cromwell, Claimed that Henry possessed a imperial jurisdiction which was not subject to any foreign power, and people could not appeal to Rome about the church's decisions.

        • About 20 members, Key members being Cromwell and Wolsey.

              • The Conservatives tried to remove Anne by suggesting that their marriage should be dissolved. Cromwell joined in as he felt that his influence and relationship with the king was beginning to weaken.
