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).

Notification . WHereas after several Rumours that have been spread abroad sometime since of a Design against the Life of the Heer Burghemaster Van Beuningen , it hath been made fully apparent to the Lords of the Justiciary of this City by several well agreeing Informations and Circumstances , that some wicked Men , to the number of six , seven , or more , having Thursday last , being the 16th of this Month N. S. T. at night , met about the House of the aforesaid Heer Van Beuningen , and endeavour'd , ( though God be praised , uneffectuallly ) to execute the abovesaid Design : and it being of the highest importance to every one , and especially to those that have any share in the Government , that the Persons concerned in so abominable , and bloody an Enterprise , be speedily detected , and punished for the same according to the greatness of the Crime , and provision made , that the accomplishing of the abovesaid detestable Undertaking be yet prevented , especially since it doth appear to the abovesaid Lords of the Justiciary by very good Informations , that after the aforesaid 16th of this month , there have been found some Villains in this City , who have given to understand that it would yet be effected . Therefore to provide against the same , the abovesaid Lords have found convenient to charge and require every one of the Inhabitants of this City , to make known with all speed to the High Schout of this City , all his or their Knowledge concerning this Bloody Enterprise , or any other the like upon Arbitrary Correction , in case any be found to have been negligent therein , and they do further make known and promise , that if any one can discover one or more of the Accomplices of this bloody Design , in such a manner , that he be Apprehended and Convicted of the said Crime , for this good Service done to Justice , and to the Publick ; shall receive a recompence of a thousand Ducatoons of Silver , and that his Name shall be kept secret , and in case the Discoverer be himself one of the Accomplices , they promise all that is in their Power to procure his Pardon and Impunity , and that he shall likewise receive the aforesaid recompence of a thousand Ducatoons of Silver , in case as abovesaid , one or more of the Accomplices be Apprehended , and Convicted of the Crime ; charging further expresly , all Inn-keepers , Hosts , or any others lodging People that come from abroad , to keep no body in their Houses , for whose innocence they cannot , or will not answer , without presently making his Name and Quality known to the Captain , or in his absence to the next chief Officer of the Ward wherein they dwell ; And it is further Statuted and Ordered , That all Inn-keepers , Hosts , and all others that take Lodgers coming from abroad , shall de die in diem give notice of their Lodgers to the Captains , or in their absence to the next chief Officers under them , and deliver a Note , containing their Names and Quality ; and in case the aforesaid Captains , or in their absence the next commanding Officers of the Ward have any the least suspicion about the declared Persons , that they shall immediately give notice thereof to the High Schout of this City , and if any body be found to have been negligent in declaring his Lodgers , he shall forfeit a sum of a 100 Gilders , and besides incur severe punishment ; and serious warning is given to every body to use all circumspection in receiving Lodgers that may be any ways suspected of bad Conversation and Manners .
