Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

May it please your Majesty , I Have been too long silent , and am afraid by my Silence I have neglected the duty of the place it hath pleased God to call me unto , and your Majesty to place me in : But now , I humbly crave leave , I may discharge my Conscience towards God , and my duty to your Majesty ; and therefore , I beseech you freely to give me leave to deliver my self , and then let your Majesty do with me what you please . Your Majesty hath propounded a Toleration of Religion , I beseech you take it into your Consideration what your Act is , what the Consequence may be . By your Act you labour to set up the most Damnable and Heretical Doctrine of the Church of Rome , the Whore of Babylon : How hateful it will be to God , and grievous to your good Subjects , the Professors of the Gospel , That your Majesty who hath often disputed , and learnedly written against those Heresies , should now shew your self a Patron of those wicked Doctrines which your Pen hath told the World , and your Conscience tells your Self , are Superstitious , Idolatrous , and Detestable . And hereunto I add what you have done in sending the Prince into Spain without consent of your Council , the Privity and Approbation of your People : And although you have a Charge and Interest in the Prince , as Son of your Flesh ; yet have the People a greater , as Son of the Kingdom , upon whom next after your Majesty are their Eyes fixed , and wellfare depends ; and so tenderly is his going apprehended , as ( believe it ) however his return may be safe ; yet the drawers of him into this Action , so dangerous to himself , so desperate to the Kingdom , will not pass away unquestioned , unpunished . Besides , this Toleration which you set up by your Proclamation . cannot , be done without a Parliament , unless your Majesty will let your Subjects see that you will take unto your self ability to throw down the Laws of your Land at your pleasure . What dread consequence these things may draw afterward , I beseech your Majesty to consider , and above all , lest by this Toleration and discountenancing of the true Profession of the Gospel , wherewith God hath blessed us , and this Kingdom hath so long flourished under it , your Majesty do not draw upon this Kingdom in general , and your self in particular , Gods heavy wrath and indignation . Thus in discharge of my duty towards God , to your Majesty and the place of my calling , I have taken humble leave to deliver my Conscience . Now Sir , do what you please with me . FINIS . Collect.
