Includes cuts of the royal coat of arms and of the Council for Virginia. Reproduction of original in the Society of Antiquaries. 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).

SIGILVM REGIS MAGNAE BRITANIAE FRANCIAE ET HIBERNIAE PRO CON SILIO SVO VIRGINIAE WHereas sundrie the aduenturers to Uirginia in their zeale to that memorable worke , the plantation of that country with an English Colonie , for the establishing of the Gospell there , and the Honour of our King and country , haue published a little standing Lotterie , consisting but of 12. pence for euery Lot : And therein haue proportioned to the aduenturers more then the one halfe to be repayed in money or faire Prizes without any abatement , besides sundry other Welcomes and Rewards : hoping that the inhabitants of this honourable Citie aduenturing euen but small summes of money , would haue soone supplied so little a summe appointed to so good a worke : which wee did purpose to draw out in Candlemas Tearme last : yet now seeing that the slow bringing in of their money hath crossed our intents , either because there was no certaine day nominated for the drawing thereof , or for some lewd aspersions that no good successe was likely to ensue to this action . Wee doe therefore signifie , that a moneth past , we sent away a ship thither with her competent number of good men and munition , and doe purpose continually to supply them to the vtmost of our meanes . The rather for that wee haue information from them , that they are now able to subsist of themselues , and want only more able labouring men , and conuenient clothing for them . In consideration whereof , we do certifie all men , that we do purpose ( God willing ) to begin the drawing of this Lotterie the 10. day of May next . And that the last day of bringing in any money shall be the 3. day of the same moneth : Betwixt which times the books shall be brought in , and made vp , and the Lots written out proportionablie according to the moneys that shall come in . Imprinted by FELIX KYNGSTON for William Welby , dwelling at the signe of the Swanne in Pauls Churchyard . 1613.
