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).

JAMES R. WHereas the making of the best and finest sorts of Writing and Printing Paper hath been by great Charge and Industry brought to perfection , whereby many thousands of Our Subjects who are destitute of Imployment , and are Burthensom to the Parishes wherein they live will be set on Work , and vast Sums of Money which are daily sent abroad for Foreign Paper , preserved in this Our Kingdom . And whereas the Governor and Company of White-Paper-Makers have made it appear to Vs , That ( to their great Loss and Discouragement ) several evil disposed Persons , Foreigners and others , designing to destroy the said Manufacture , and to hinder its Establishment here , have endeavoured to Corrupt , and as well by promises of Reward , as by Menaces , to withdraw the Companies Servants from their Service , and have lately conveyed several of them beyond the Seas : For the preventing of such and the like Designs and Practices for the future , and for the Encouragement of so good and profitable a Manufacture in this Our Kingdom , We of Our Princely Care have thought fit to give the said Governor and Company all possible Encouragement , and to take them into Our Royal Potection ; And We do by this Our Royal Proclamation , by and with the Advice of Our Privy Council , Strictly Prohibit and Forbid all and every Person and Persons , of what Quality , Degree or Nation soever , to Corrupt , Withdraw , or Iutice away , or attempt by any ways or means to Corrupt , Withdraw , or Iutice away from the said Company , any Person or Persons whatsoever who now are , or at any time hereafter shall be Imployed in their Service , upon pain of Our highest Displeasure , and of being Punished with the utmost Severity , as Violaters of Our Laws . And for the better and more speedy Discovery and Apprehending of Offenders in this kind , We do hereby Grant unto the said Governor and Company , and their Successors , full Power and Authority under their Common Seal , from time to time to Constitute and Appoint a fit Person at each of their respective Mills , who shall have Authority to Apprehend and Carry any Offender or Offenders , before some one of Our Iustices of the Peace , in order to be proceeded against according to Law. And as a further Encouragement to the said Company , We have Prohibited , and do hereby Prohibit the Exportation of all Linnen-Rags , Glovers Clippings , Parchment Shreds , Calves Pates , and Waterpieces , being necessary Materials for the said Manufacture ; And We do hereby Charge and Command the Commissioners , and every of the Officers of Our Customs to see the same duly Executed ; And We do hereby also strictly Charge and Command all Mayors , Sheriffs , Iustices of the Peace , and all other of Our Officers and Ministers whatsoever whom it shall or may concern , at all times , and upon all occasions , to be Aiding and Assisting to the said Governor and Company , and their several Officers , Agents and Servants , in the due Execution of this Our Royal Will and Pleasure herein before Declared , and in the Apprehending , Seizing and Punishing of all Offenders touching the Premisses , as they tender Our Pleasure , and will answer the contrary at their utmost Perils .
