Comparing money from different historical periods is an iffy proposition at best ... all the money in the world would not buy you an iPhone 5 in 1492, nor, with no electricity or cell network available, would said iPhone 5 be worth anything in a practical sense. So you should take anything that says something like "2 pounds (27 million dollars in 2017 money)" with at least a grain of salt.
Also, the Tudor period extended over more than a century; prices would have varied at least somewhat over that time. The best I can tell you is that by putting "tudor period stipend" into Google I was able to quickly find a document that suggests that a yearly salary of a bit over 26 and a half pounds in 1602 was considered an remarkably high salary for a preacher (the same document says that a different clergyman was paid half that). That means that, towards the end of the Tudor period, 2 pounds constituted roughly a month's wages for a highly educated and respected man, which, if all you really want to know is "was that a lot of money or was it chump change" is probably sufficiently accurate.
