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).

WHereas some of the meaner sort of our people did of late assemble themselues in riotous and tumultuous maner within our Countie of Northampton , sometimes in the night , and sometimes in the day , vnder pretence of laying open enclosed grounds of late yeeres taken in , to their dammage , as they say ; The repressing whereof we did first referre only to the due course of Iustice , and the ordinary proceedings of the Commissioners of the Peace , and other our Ministers in such cases : Forasmuch as Wee haue perceiued since , that lenitie hath bred in them , rather encouragement then obedience , and that they haue presumed to gather themselues in greater multitudes , as well in that Countie , as in some others adioyning , We find it now very necessary to vse sharper remedies . Wherefore , We will and command all Lieutenants , deputy Lieutenants , Sheriffs , Iustices of Peace , Maiors , Bailiffes , Headboroughs , Constables , and all other our Officers and Ministers to whom it may appertaine , if the said persons shall continue so assembled , after Proclamation made , or any such new Assemblies bee gathered in those , or any other parts of our Realme , immediatly to suppresse them by whatsoeuer meanes they may , be it by force of Armes , if admonitions and other lawfull meanes doe not serue to reduce them to their dueties . For Wee cannot but be iustly moued to such seueritie against those , who vniustly throw a slaunder vpon our Gouernment , by taking that pretence for their disobedience : Seeing it is manifest by Acte of Parliament , passed since our comming to this Crowne , that we haue been careful to preuent such Enclosures , and Depopulations , & that it hath been an ordinary charge giuen by Us to our Iustices of Assises , when they went to their Circuits , to enquire of all vnlawfull Depopulations and Enclosures , and to take order to remedie the same , and to punish the Offenders therein according to the due course of Lawe . And it is well knowen to many , that We were now also in hand with some course to bee taken by aduise of our Counsell for the performance thereof : From which our good purpose and intent , this their presumptuous and vndutifull proceeding , might rather giue Us cause to desist , then increase in Us any affection to relieue such disordered persons , so farre attempting against our Crowne and Dignitie , who chuse rather to trust to their owne pride and rashnes , then to the care and prouidence of their Souereigne . Willing and commanding all our said Lieutenants , Deputie Lieutenants , Shiriffes , and other our Officers and Ministers aboue mentioned , to attend diligently to the execution of this our pleasure , and all other our louing Subiects to be obedient to them in the performance thereof , as they will answere the contrarie at their perill . Giuen at our Palace of Westminster the thirtieth day of May , in the fifth yeere of our Reigne of Great Britaine , France and Ireland . God saue the King. ❧ Imprinted at London by Robert Barker , Printer to the Kings most Excellent Maiestie . ANNO DOM. 1607.
