At end of text: Given at our court at Kensington, the two and twentieth day of October, 1692. 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).

WILLIAM R. WHereas Their Majesties having a deep and serious Consideration of the War in which they ( together with most of the Princes and States of Europe ) were and still are ingaged against the French King , did by Their Royal Proclamation , bearing Date the Four and twentieth Day of March last , Appoint a general Monthly Fast to be kept throughout this Kingdom , for Imploring the Blessing and Protection of Almighty God in the Preservation of Their Majesties Persons , and in Prospering Their Arms both at Sea and Land , which has been observed accordingly . And forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God of his Infinite Goodness in Answer to the Prayers humbly and devoutly Offered up to him , to preserve Their Majesties and Their Government against the Designs and Attempts of Their Open and Secret Enemies ; To give Their Majesties a Great and Signal Victory at Sea against the French Fleet ; To Protect His Majesties Person from the many and great Dangers of the War in His late Expedition beyond the Seas ; To Disappoint and Defeat the Barbarous and Horrid Conspiracy for taking away His Sacred Life by Assassination ; And to bring Him back in Safety to this Kingdom : Their Majesties therefore Adoring the Divine Goodness and duly Considering that such Great and Publick Blessings do call for Publick and Solemn Acknowledgements , Have thought fit , and ( with the Advice of Their Privy Council ) do hereby Appoint and Command , That a General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for these his Mercies be observed throughout Our Cities of London and Westminster and elsewhere within the weekly Bills of Mortality , on Thursday the Twenty seventh day of this Instant October ; and in all other Places throughout this Kingdom of England , Dominion of Wales , and Town of Berwick upon Tweed , on Thursday the Tenth day of November next ensuing . And for the better and more orderly Solemnizing of the same , Their Majesties have given Directions to the Most Reverend Arch-Bishops , and Right Reverend Bishops of this Kingdom , to Compose a Form of Prayer suitable to this Occasion , to be Vsed in all Churches and Chappels , and other Places of Publick Worship , and to take Care for the timely dispersing of the same throughout their respective Diocesses , And Their Majesties do strictly Charge and Command , That the said Publick day of Thanksgiving be Religiously Observed by all Their Loving Subjects , as they tender the Favour of Almighty God , and upon Pain of Suffering such Punishments as Their Majesties can justly inflict for the Contempt or Neglect thereof .
