Another grievance was found in the recent\nStatute of Uses, designed to deal with the intricacies of tenure in the interest\nof the crown.\nThe landed gentry declared with some reason that they could\nno longer raise ready money by charges on their estates nor provide for any\nbut their eldest sons. ' Younger brothers would none of that in no wise,' wrote\nthe earl of Oxford to Cromwell.\nHow bitterly the action of the statute was\nresented may be ascertained from the speech of Mr. Dymoke, the sheriff^\n\nRobert\n\nla\n\nof Lincoln, to the insurgents at Horncastle, or the statements contained in\n\nThis and other motives furnished provocation to\nThe commons had other and material grievances.\nGrazing had become immensely profitable. Corn-land was turned into\npasture, and yeomen and copyholders who had once held up their heads\nbefore their fellows were evicted * from their holdings or ousted from enjTDyment of the common lands, whilst the unquiet state of the public mind was\nfurther disturbed by the interrogatories of the subsidy commissioners and\nstrangely distorted rumours as to the imposition of parish registers.'\nBut\nthe grievances of gentry and commons, however real to either class of\nsufferers, were no material for common or united action, and would hardly\nhave brought about a serious rising but for the king's proceedings in the\nthe examination of Aske.\nthe cadets of the gentry.\n\nThe Lincolnshire rebellion of 1536 was very largely\nmatter of religion.\nan immediate outcome of the suspicions engendered by the suppression of\nthe lesser monastic houses, and by the raising to high place of avowed\nadherents of the ' New Learning.' A widespread expectation was undoubtedly\npresent that the spoliation of the religious merely formed a prelude to the\nStrenuously denied by the king and his\npillage of parish churches.\nministers, this fear was justified not many years after by the proceedings of\nthe Edwardian reformers.\nThe first outbreak in Lincolnshire was at Louth, not far from Legbourne\nNunnery, which in late September, 1536, was suppressed by the royal visitors.\nThere had been premonitory symptoms of unrest, for on St. Matthew's Day\na tall serving-man,' probably one of Cromwell's retainers from Legbourne,,\n'\n\nInst.
