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).

My Lords and Gentlemen , UPon the opening of this Session I did acquaint you with the Motives which Induced Their Majesties to call this Parliament , which were no other than what entirely regarded a happy settlement of this Kingdom upon such Foundations as might not only secure the Peace , but bring you into a Prosperous and Flourishing Condition . I am sorry I cannot say there hath been such a Progress made by you Gentlemen of the House of Commons towards those ends , as Their Majesties had just reason to expect ; And I am the more troubled , that you who have so many and so great Obligations to be Loyal and Dutifully affected to Their Majesties , should so far mistake your selves , as to intrench upon Their Majesties Prerogative , and the Rights of the Crown of England , as you did on the 27th . of October last , when by a Declaratory Vote you affirmed , That it is the sole and undoubted Right of the Commons of Ireland , to prepare heads of Bills for raising of Money ; and also again on the 28th . of the same Month , when you rejected a Bill sent over in the usual form , Entituled , an Act for granting to Their Majesties certain Duties for one year ; you Voted that it should be entered in your Journals , that the reason why the said Bill was rejected , was , That the same had not its rise in your House These Votes of yours being contrary to the Statutes of the 10th . of Henry the 7th . and the 3d. and 4th . of Philip and Mary , and the continued practice ever since : I find my self obliged to assert Their Majesties Prerogative , and the Rights of the Crown of England , in these particulars , in such a manner as may be most Publick and Permanent ; and therefore I do here in full Parliament , make my Publick Protest against these Votes , and the Entries of them in the Journals of the House of Commons , which Protest I require the Clerk of this House to Read , and afterwards to enter it in the Journals of this House , that it may remain as a Vindication of Their Majesties Prerogative , and the Right of the Crown of England , in these particulars , to future Ages . After which his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant delivered the Protestation to the Lord Chancellor , who delivered it to the Clerk of the House , and he Read it ; then the Lord Chancellor upon his knee conferring with his Excellency , said as followeth , My Lords and Gentlemen , HIs Excellency having been acquainted , that both Houses intended severally to present some Heads upon which they desired Bills to be prepared of such as his Excellency and the Council should approve of , Commands me to aquaint you , that he will take them into his Consideration , and that against the meeting of the Parliament , after this intended Prorogation , such of them as shall be found requisite , shall be in readiness to be brought into Parliament . That which I have further in Command from his Excellency is , to let you know that it is his Pleasure that this Parliament be Prorogued till Thursday the Sixth day of April next , and this Parliament is prorogued to Thursday the Sixth day of April next .
