The lists of household items regulated by the Ordinance (like candle wax) provide the historians an insight into what was deemed expensive or rare. These items, now considered ordinary, formed the "spatial decorum" of the court. The Ordinance was filled with precautions against theft of household items, even furniture, indicating that such theft was commonplace. It attempted to expel "rascals and vagabonds" and replace them with "servants honest in gesture and behaviour". To maintain the moral standard, the Ordinance prescribed creation of a perfectly transparent environment, devoid of private places, where every person would be always watched and evaluated. Pincombe and Shrank noted that the duality of imaginary order and real-life disorder evident in the Ordinance is also present in contemporary literature like the Welles Anthology and the plays of John Heywood. Wolsey managed to steer the new council to judiciary issues and away from foreign relations, thus completing the formation of the Star Chamber. Bishop John Clerk, Dean Richard Sampson, Secretary William Knight and Chancellor Thomas More formed the inner permanent Council attendant to Henry, of which no less than two persons accompanied the King at all times. Wolsey's opponents Sir William Compton, the Groom of the Stool, Sir Francis Bryan, Sir Nicholas Carew, and Thomas and George Boleyn, on the contrary, had to leave the court. Denouement Wolsey's plan as a whole, however, "did not leave the drawing board". In 1527 he failed to secure annulment of the marriage between Henry and Queen Catherine and fell out of favor. By 1529 he was stripped of his court office and property. After his death the plan was resurrected by Thomas Cromwell in the Cromwellian Ordinances of 1538–1540.
