"Given at Guild-Hall, this Five and Twentieth day of March, 1673. and in the Five and Twentieth Year of His Majesties Reign." Reproduction of original in the Guildhall Library (London, England). 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 divers Persons rudely disposed , within this City , have of late years been observed to behave themselves in an uncivil and insolent manner towards Persons of Quality ; by means whereof divers that would otherwise be forward to come within the City for supply of their Occasions , are forced to repair to other Places , least they should suffer here by the Violence and Rudeness that is too often committed and acted in the Streets of this City , to the great Scandal and Disreputation of the Government , as well as Prejudice and Loss of the Trade and Commerce of this City . These are therefore by the Advice of my Brethren the Aldermen and the Commons of this City in Common Council assembled ; in His Majesties Name streightly to charge and command all Persons within this City and the Liberties thereof , as they will answer the contrary at their utmost Perils , to behave themselves at all times in a civil and orderly manner , with due Respect and Regard to all Persons of Quality , Ladies and Gentlemen , that shall think fit to repair at any time to this City upon their Occasions . And because the Misdemeanors and Rudeness of Car-men , Dray-men and other Persons hereafter mentioned committed in the Streets are too notorious : These are therefore streightly to command , That from henceforth no Car-man , Dray-man or other person with a Car or Cart or the like , do presume to run against or obstruct any Gentlemans Coach in their Passage in any the Streets of this City , but give them full space and freedom of Passage without the least Disturbance , Affront or Injury to be offered to them , their Servants , Horses or Coaches . And also that Tankard-Bearers , Porters , and other Persons laden with Burdens or of inferior Quality do forbear to run against , justle or offer the least uncivil Action to Persons of better Quality , and that they do constantly give them place in their passage on foot through the Streets . And all Vagrants , Beggers and other idle and lewd Persons are hereby enjoyned not to presume to place themselves in , or wander about any the Streets and publick Passages of this City . And all Constables and other Officers are hereby charged and required to intercept and apprehend all such Persons , and deal with them according to the Law in that behalf . And whereas throwing of Squibs , Fire-Works , Foot-ball Play and the like , are at certain Seasons frequently practised by Apprentices and others in the Streets , which is a great Grievance and Annoyance to the publick Passages of this City , Whereby much Mischief is often done , and is an occasion of great Fear to Passengers . These are therefore further to command all Apprentices and other young Persons to forbear from time to time all such rude Practices . And that all Masters of Families do look to and secure their Sons , Apprentices and Servants in the well ordering of themselves and giving due Obedience hereunto . And all Persons are to take notice , that the Observation hereof is strictly required . And all Offenders in any the particulars before-mentioned shall suffer the utmost Penalties can be inflicted upon them . Given at Guild-Hall , this Five and Twentieth day of March , 1673 . and in the Five and Twentieth Year of His Majesties Reign . God save the King.
