The original Latin text of Article 37, from Gerald Bray. Records of Convocation. The Bowdell Press, 2006: vol. VII (Canterbury, 1509-1603), p.429:
Regia maiestas in hoc Angliae regno ac caeteris eius dominiis, iure summam habet potestatem, ad quam omnium statuum huius regni, sive illi ecclesiastici sunt sive non, in omnibus causis suprema gubernatio pertinet, et nulli externae iurisdictioni est subiecta, nec esse debet.
Cum regiae maiestati summam gubernationem tribuimus, quibus titulis intelligimus animos quorundam calumniatorum offendi; non damus regibus nostris aut Verbi Dei aut sacramentorum administrationem quod etiam iniunctiones ab Elizabetha regina regina nostra nuper aeditae, apertissime testantur; sed cum tantum praerogativum quam in Sacris Scripturis a Deo ipso omnibus piis principibus videmus semper fuisse attributam, hoc est, ut omnes status atque ordines fidei suae a Deo commissos, sive illi ecclesiastici sint, sive civiles, in officio contineant, et contumaces ac delinquentes, gladio civili coerceant.
Romanus pontifex nullam habet iurisdictionem in hoc Regno Angliae.
Leges civiles possunt Christianos capitalia et gravia crimina morte punire. Christianis licet et ex mandato magistratus arma portare et iusta bella administrare.
