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).

A PROCLAMATION Commanding all Masters and Owners of Ships , to stay for their Convoy before they put to Sea. CHARLES R. WHereas His Majesty out of His Princely Care and Compassion of all His Subjects Trading by Sea , hath for their better Protection and Security , Ordained and Appointed several Ships of War to be unto them as Guards and Convoys through their several Voyages ; And yet nevertheless , some persons neglecting their own Safeties , and being desirous to make more then ordinary haste unto the Forreign Markets , do frequently put to Sea without staying for their appointed Convoys , and that either singly , or in such small numbers , that they very easily , and very often become a Prey to the Turks and Moors , who by such advantages , are encouraged to hold out , and not to yield to Peace upon reasonable Terms , to the great Damage of the Kingdom in general , and the utter ruine of the particular persons thus needlesly exposing themselves . Therefore for remedy hereof , His Majesty by Advice of His Privy Council , hath thought fit to Publish this His Royal Proclamation , and both hereby straitly Charge and Command all Masters and Owners of Ships , which are or shall be Bound for any Voyage , for which any Guard or Convoy is or shall be appointed , That they presume not to depart from the Port , or set out to Sea without having their appointed Convoy in company : And as His Majesty will cause all His Officers to be severely Punished , if by their negligence or default , any of His good Subjects shall be delayed , or hindred of their Voyages , so His Majesty both likewise Declare , That if any of His Subjects shall presume to adventure out to Sea without , and before the appointed Convoy , and shall afterwards be taken Captives , His Majesty will leave them under such their Misfortunes , nor shall any part of the Charitable Contribution for Redemption of Captives , be at any time hereafter applied to the Relief of such persons , who shall be found to have Broken and Contemned these His Majesties Royal Commands : And hereof His Majesty Requires all His Subjects whom it may concern , to take notice at their utmost perils . Given at the Court at Whitehall , the Twelfth day of May , 1671. GOD SAVE THE KING . In the SAVOY , Printed by the Assigns of John Bill , and Christopher Barker , Printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty , 1671.
