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).

LORD MAYOR of the City of LONDON , and the Right Worshipfull the ALDERMEN his Brethren , The Humble Petition and Address of the Citizens of London , whose Names are Subscribed , for , and on the Behalf of themselves , and all other Loyal Citizens of London , Sheweth , THAT we having seen a Printed Paper , being a Copy of what was Presented to your Lordship and this Court Intituled A Fourth Paper Presented by divers Citizens of London the 12th of Septemb. 1682. wherein the presenters on the behalf of themselves , and of their Fellow-Citizens , take upon them to Protest against the Election and Confirmation of Mr. North and Mr. Box , to be Sheriffs of London and Middlesex ; declaring that if your Lordship and this Court refuse to call forth Mr. Papillon and Mr. Dubois to Seal their Bonds , and shall impose Mr. North upon them as Sheriff , or cause a Common Hall to be called under pretence of Electing any other Person to join with the said Mr. North. That the same would be a Breach of your Trust , and Violation of their Priviledges , which ( as they say ) they are resolved to Maintain : And therefore demanded , That this Court should immediately send for Mr. Papillon and Mr. Dubois to Seal their Bonds , and take upon them the Office of Sheriffs of London and Middlesex . WE do esteem the matter contained in the said Paper to be a presumptuous and false Censure of your Lordships just Government of this City , which in this , as in all other matters , your Lordship hath managed by Advice of this Court. And we hold it our Duty to declare to your Lordship and this Court , that we utterly disown any Concurrence with , or Allowance of the Matters contain'd therein . And we do assert and insist upon it , that the Confirmation of Mr. North , and the Election of Mr. Box for Sheriffs of London and Middlesex for the Ensuing Year were Lawful , and according to the Rights and Customs of this City . And since your Lordship and this Court have permitted Mr. Box to Fine , and thereupon discharged him ; and that Mr. North hath Sealed a Bond to hold Sheriff . There is now but one Sheriff to be chosen for the next Year . THEREFORE , We humbly pray your Lordship to issue out a Precept , to Summon a Common Hall , for Electing one other Person to be Sheriff for the Ensuing Year , in the Room of the said Mr. Box ; And your Petitioners , &c. Moore Mayor . Jovis 14. die Septemb. 1682. Annoque Regni Regis Caroli Secund. Ang. &c. 34. UPon a Petition now presented to this Court by divers Citizens for the calling of a Common Hall to Choose another Person to be one of the Sheriffs for the next Year and to join with Mr. North , in the stead of Mr. Box lately discharged . And upon two other Petitions now likewise Presented , One from divers other Citizens , and the other from divers Gentlemen of the County of Middlesex , for the calling out of Mr. Papillon and Mr. Dubois as Sheriffs Elect for the Year insuing . This Court upon the Question put , did agree that the same Answer should be given to the said Petitioners , as was given by this Court to the Petition Presented on the 27th of July last : And the same was thereupon read to them in the words sollowing , viz. Gentlemen , This Court hath considered of your Petitions , and will take care that such Persons shall take the Office of Sheriffs upon them as are duly Elected according to Law , and the Ancient Customs of this City : And in this and all other things , this Court will endeavour to maintain the Rights and Priviledges of the Chair , and of the whole City : And wherein you think that we do otherwise , the Law must Judge between us . And the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor did also acquaint them that his Lordship intended to call a Common Hall on Tuesday next , for the choice of a Person to be one of the Sheriffs for the Year insuing , instead of Mr. Box.
