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 <gap>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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

THe Lords and Commons in Parliament doe declare, That it is againſt the Lawes and Liberties of the Kingdome, that any of the Sub • ects thereof, ſhould be commanded by the King to attend him at his pleaſure, but ſuch as are bound thereto by ſpeciall Service; and that whoſoever upon pretence of his Majeſties command ſhal take Armes, and gather together with others in a warlike manner, to the terror of the Kings People, ſhall be eſteemed diſturbers of the publicke peace, and to doe that which may introduce a preſident of very dangerous conſequence for the future, and produce moſt miſchievous effects for the preſent, conſidering the great diſtempers of the Kingdome, and what pernitious Councellors and lncendiaries, are now about the King, and how deſperate and ill affected divers perſons attending upon his Majeſty, have ſhewed themſelves to the Parliament, and to his other good Sub • ects, threatning and reproaching them publickly, even in his Majeſties preſence, and for preventing and avoiding ſuch great miſchiefes as may thereupon enſue.

It is Ordered and Ordained by both Houſes of Parliament, That if the Trained bands, or any other his Majeſties Subjects, ſhall upon pretence of any ſuch command be drawne together, and put into a poſture of Warre, the Sheriffe of that County where there ſhall be ſuch raiſing, or drawing together of armed men; Doe forthwith raiſe the power of the County to ſuppreſſe them, and to keepe his Majeſties peace according to the Law. And that the Lord Lieutenants, Deputy Lieutenants, Juſtices of the Peace, and all other his Maieſties Subiects, be aiding and asſiſting to the ſeverall and reſpective Sheriffs in performance hereof, as they will anſwer the contray at their perill.

His Majeſties Letter to the Gentry of York-ſhire, May 16. 1642. To our right truſty and well beloved the Gentry of York and others of this our County of Yorke, whom it doth or may concerne.

WEE have with great contentment conſidered your dutifull and affectionate anſwer to our propoſition concerning the unſufferable affront which we receiued at Hull: Wee have not been deceived in that confidence we have had in your affection, Wherefore we deſire you to aſſure the reſt of your Countrey-men, wh • through negligence were omitted to be ſummoned: that Wee ſhall never abuſe your love by any power wherewith God ſhall enable us to the leaſt violation of the leaſt of your liberties, or the d • minution of thoſe immunities which we have granted you this P • rliament, though they be beyond the Acts of moſt (if not all) on Predeceſſors; being reſolved with a conſtant and firme reſolution to have the Law of this Land duly obſerved, and ſhall endeavour onely ſo to preſerve our juſt Royall Rights, as may enable us to protect our Kingdome and People, according to the ancient honours of the Kings of ENGLAND, and according to the truſt which by the Law of God and this Land, is put into the Crowne, being ſufficiently warned by the laſt affront at Hull, not to transferre the ſame out of our power; concerning which affront we will take ſome time to adviſe, which way we may imploy your affections. In the meane time we ſhall take it well from all ſuch as ſhall perſonally attend us, ſo followed and provided, as they ſhall thinke fit for the better ſafety of our perſon, becauſe we know not what ſudden violence or affront may be offered unto us, having lately received ſuch an actuall teſtimony of rebellious intentions, as Sir Iohn Hotham hath expreſſed at Hull. Being thus ſecured by your affections and aſſiſtance, we promiſe you our protection againſt any contrary power whatſoever. And that you ſhall not be moleſted for your humble and modeſt Petition, as of late you have been threatned.

Given at our Court at York May 16. 1642.
