therin to be taken by her Maiesties visitours In thorder whereof sauynge for an vniformitie there semeth no matter of great moment so that the sacrament be duely and reuerently mynystred yet for obseruation of one vniformitie through the hole Realme for the better imitacion of the lawe in that behalfe it is ordered that no Alter be taken down but by ouersyght of the curate of the Churche and
