In November 1554, the Revival of the Heresy Acts (1 & 2 Ph. & M. c.6) revived three former Acts against heresy; the letters patent of 1382 of King Richard II, an Act of 1401 of King Henry IV, and an Act of 1414 of King Henry V. All three of these laws had been repealed under King Henry VIII and King Edward VI. This Act reflects the concern for increased heresy and the lack of authority to deal with it. It stated: This Act was repealed in 1559 by section 6 of the Act of Supremacy.
