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).

THere having been lately detected a Horrid Conspiracy , against the Lives of the King and the Duke of York , the established Government of Church and State , and the Liberties of the English Nation : We do Present the said Conspiracy to be still manifestly carried on ; as appears by the Practices of the Republican , and Fanatical Faction : And likewise , by the Declarations of some of the Conspirators themselves at the place of Execution : Holloway , particularly , delivering himself in his Confession and Narrative , in these very words , There would be no want of Men , if it ( speaking of the Insurrection ) were once begun . And afterward , If we should name every one that we thought would be concerned , I believe we might name three parts of London . Giving therein to understand , that they expected as well to be seconded by those that were only Well-willers to the Cause , as by others that were Actually engaged in the Malice of the Design . We do therefore Present , as our Opinion , that all those , who either by Open favour , or Connivence , Directly or Indirectly , by Word , Counsel , or Action , give Countenance , or Encouragement , to any Seditious or Schismatical Disturbers of the Publick Peace , are , and ought to be comprized within the number of the aforesaid Well-willers to the interest of that Cause and Party . And we do the rather Present , and humbly Recommend this to consideration ; in regard of the many Frauds , and Artifices , that are commonly made use of for the Inveigling of the credulous Multitude , seducing the Ignorant ; corrupting the Vain , and improving all occasions and ill humors , toward the dishonour both of the King and of the Church , and the embroiling of the Government . And whereas it has been the constant Method of these Turbulent Spirits , as well in printed Libels , and written News-Letters , as in their ordinary Discourses , to Revile and Slander the King , and the Church ; to Calumniate his Majesties Ministers of State and Justice , and all Loyal Subjects , that out of a sense of Conscience , and Duty , have either Acted , spoken , or written , in Defence of the Government , Ecclesiastical and Civil ; and for the undeceiving of his Majesties Liege People : By means whereof , they have endeavoured , as much as in them lay , not only to blast the Memory of all honest men , but even to stigmatize Virtue and Loyalty it self . In contemplation of these Outrages against Humanity , Duty , good Manners , and common Justice ; We do Present , as our further Opinion , the necessity of fixing some publick Mark of Infamy , upon all scandalous and seditious , printed Books , Pamphlets and Papers , of the Quality above-mentioned , to prevent the transmitting of so many Honourable Names , with Infamy , to Posterity . We do likewise Present , that Factious Coffee-men , Victuallers , and Ale-house-Keepers in this Borough , have greatly contributed to our late Divisions ; and that divers of them do still continue to make their Houses the Receptacles of Disloyal and ill-affected Persons in suspicious numbers : Notwithstanding their entire dependence upon his Majesties Grace and Bounty , for the Livelihood of Themselves , and their Families . In which regard , we Present it needful , that some effectual course be taken with them , either for their suppression , or their better behaviour for the future . Jonadab Ballam .
