In July 1536 , the first attempt was made to clarify religious doctrine after the break with Rome . Bishop Edward Foxe tabled proposals in Convocation , with strong backing from Cromwell and Cranmer , which the King later endorsed as the Ten Articles and which were printed in August 1536 . Cromwell circulated injunctions for their enforcement that went beyond the Articles themselves , provoking opposition in September and October in Lincolnshire and then throughout the six northern counties . These widespread popular and clerical uprisings found support among the gentry and even the nobility ; they were collectively known as the Pilgrimage of Grace
