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).

A PROCLAMATION Appointing the General Fast , which according to former Order falleth out to be on Wednesday the First of November , being All Saints day , to be kept on the Wednesday following , being the Eighth of that Moneth . CHARLES R. WHereas the Kings most Excellent Majesty did by His Royal Proclamation , bearing Date the Sixth day of July last , appoint that from the time therein mentioned , the First Wednesday of every Moneth successively should be observed and kept in all parts of this Realm , as a day of Fasting and Humiliation , until it shall please God to withdraw this Plague and grievous Sickness . And to the end that Prayers and Supplication may every where be offered up unto Almighty God for the Removal of this heavy Iudgment : And whereas the First Wednesday in November ( which according to that Order ought to be kept ) falls out to be All-Saints day , which is a great Festival in the Church , and so not fit to be kept as a day of Fasting and Humiliation , His Majesties Pleasure is , and He doth hereby Declare , That the Next Wednesday following in the said Moneth , that is to say , Wednesday the eighth of November , shall be kept in all parts of this Realm as a day of Fasting and Humiliation , instead of the First Wednesday of that Moneth . And for the time to come , the First Wednesday in every Moneth shall be so kept as was appointed by the said former Proclamation ; Except the same falls out to be on some day appointed to be kept Holy , and in that case it shall be kept the Wednesday following , as is hereby directed . And His Majesty doth hereby again call upon the Respective Preachers on the said Fast-days , that they do Earnestly Exhort the People , in the several Churches , to a Free and Chearful Contribution , towards the Relief of their Christian Brethren , whom it hath pleased God to visit with Sickness ; And that the Moneys so gathered be disposed according as His Majesty hath directed by His said Former Proclamation . Given at the Court at Oxford the Twenty Sixth day of September , in the Seventeenth year of his Majesties Reign . 1665. God save the King.
