Reproduction of original in Huntington Library. 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).

I. WHether any Real and Zealous Papist was ever for Liberty of Conscience ? it being a fundamental Principle of their Religion , That all Christians that do not believe as they do , are Hereticks , and ought to be destroyed . II. Whether the King be a Real and Zealous Papist ? if he be ; whether he can be truly for Liberty of Conscience ? III. Whether this King in his Brother's Reign did not cause the Persecution against Dissenters to be more violent than otherwife it would have been ? IV. Whether he doth not now make use of the Dissenters to pull down the Church of England , as he did of the Church of England to ruin the Dissenters , that the Papists may be the better enabled , in a short time , to destroy them both ? V. Whether any ought to believe he will be for Liberty any longer than it serves his turn ? and whether his great eagerness to have the Penal Laws and Test repealed be onely in order to the easie establishing of Popery ? VI. Whether if these Penal Laws and Test were repealed , there would not many turn Papists that now dare not ? VII . Whether the forcing of all that are in Offices of Profit or Trust in the Nation , to lose their Places , or declare they will be for Repealing the Penal Laws and Test , be not Violating his own Declaration for Liberty of Conscience , and a new Test upon the People ? VIII . Whether the Suspending the Bishop of London , the Dispossessing of the Fellows of Magdalen Colledge of their Freeholds , the Imprisoning and Prosecuting the Seven Bishops for Reasoning according to Law , are not sufficient instances how well the King intends to Repeal his Declaration for Liberty of Conscience , wherein he promiseth to protect and maintain all his Bishops and Clergy , and all other his Subjects of the Church of England in quiet and full enjoyment of all their Possessions , without any molestation or disturbance whatsoever ? IX . Whether the Usage of the Protestants in France and Savoy , for these three years past , be not a sufficient warning not to trust to the Declaration , Promises or Oaths in matters of Religion of any Papist whatsoever ? X. Whether any Equivalent whatsoever under a Popish King , that hath a standing Army , and pretends to a Dispensing Power , can be as equal security as the Penal Laws and Test , as affairs now stand in England ? If any think fit to Answer these Queries , they are desired to do it as plainly and fairly as they are here put .
