Religion Act 1592

The Religion Act 1592 (35 Eliz. I, c. 1) was an Act of the Parliament of England. The Act imprisoned without bail those over the age of sixteen who failed to attend Church; persuaded others to do the same; who denied Her Majesty's authority in matters ecclesiastical; and who attended unlawful religious conventicles. If after offending they did not conform in the next three months they would be exiled forever from England. The Act fined those who harboured recusants £10 for every month hidden. The Act stated that the Act would continue no longer than the end of the next session of Parliament.[1]
