To question the marriage of Henry with Anne Boleyn by writing, word, deed, or act was declared to be high treason, and all persons should take an oath acknowledging the succession under pain of misprision of treason.
On your return you will find Anne Boleyn Queen of England." "And you disgraced," rejoined Wyat, as, with a malignant and vindictive look, the cardinal quitted the chamber.
