His Grace the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury's ADDRESS , to his MAJESTY , For the Suppression of Monasteries , Fryeries , Nunneries , and other Popish Seminaries , or allowing any General TOLLERATION to the Roman Catholicks of ENGLAND . 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 .
