According to Elton, Cromwell tried to create a unitary state where he had successfully dissolved small and large monasteries and also abolished any independent areas in England. Cromwell had brought in vast amounts of church wealth which was to fall at the crowns disposal as he was the one who set up the act of first fruits and tenths which took the money being paid from the church to Rome to be paid directly to the monarch, this later caused a significant change as the papal authority was later excluded and this meant that henrys power as a monarch was enhanced with the help of Cromwell, this meant that parliaments power was increased and this also increased henrys as he had full support from them from previous encounters.
