Reproduction of original in: Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru/National Library of Wales. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).

THE 24th of March 1688 / 9 , he delivered me at Hampton-Court , an Information of his own Hand-Writing ; which I delivered the same Day to the Right Honourable the Earl of Shrewsbury . Some Days after , Capell ask'd me for some Money , to defray his Charges back to Windsor : But I not complying with his Desire , he hath ever since Published , That I had Suppressed Treasonable Informations , calling me , Traytor , &c. Whereupon I was advised to take my Remedy at Law against him ; and complaining to the Bench of Justices of the Peace in Middlesex , for being Scandalized in my Office , obtain'd a Bench-Warrant against the said Capell , upon the 29th of August 1689. Being taken in November , he appeared according to his Recognizance at Hicks-Hall , on the 16th of December , being the last Day of the Sessions . I desired he might be continued till the next Sessions , for that I had fresh and further Informations against him ; and objecting against his Bail , viz. John Temple , and John Price , as being reputed Common Informers , and Insolvent , the said Capell was Committed for want of Bail , and not for the Reasons suggested to the Honourable House of Commons , as by the Votes of the 17th of December . Robert Swaine He and another , brought before me ( in August 1689 ) one White , alias Grey , a suspected Popish Priest ; White alledged , he was a Minister of the Church of England , but could not produce to me his Letters of Ordination . I told him , That I must then commit him to Jail ; he replied , He had been taken up already by the same Warrant , ( and by the same Persons ) about a Month before , and stood Bound over to the next Sessions , before two other Justices of the Peace , ( as by the Recognizance will appear ; ) So that I directed them , to apply to the same Justices again , if they had any thing further to say against him . Swaine has ever since Published , 1. That I had Discharg'd a Popish Priest . 2. That I was a Rogue , and Ryscal , and held Correspondence with the late King James . 3. That he had told the King's Majesty , how that I had betrayed His Majesty , and the Nation , by Discovering the Counsels to the late King James , &c. 4. That before HE and OTHERS would have done with me , they would have me in Newgate , and used as a Traytor ; that in the mean time , he had got me turn'd out of the Secretary of State 's Office , &c. As doth appear by several Informations upon Oath , Numb . 1 , 2 , 3 , 4. Upon which , I was also advised , to bring my Action at Law against the said Swaine , which is now depending . John Price One of the Three Petitioners , I know not , and never had any Discourse with him ; only in the abovesaid Informations upon Oath , the Names of Capell , Swaine , and Price , ( with some other English , and Irish Men , ) are mentioned to be a Gang , that drive on the Trade of Common Informers , and such as Conspir'd together to do me Mischief . That Capell is such , appears by his having followed no other Trade since March last ; and being Committed the 16th of December , for want of Bail , declared , It would be a Job worth to him 20 l. As by Affidavit upon Oath , Numb . 9. That he Lodged at a Papists House , and protected Papists , by pretending to be one of the Kings Messengers ; And took Money of Papists , to excuse them from being taken up , Numb . 10. 11. Swaine That he took Money of People he seized upon pretence of High Treason , without shewing any Warrant , or using any Legal Officer , as by Affidavits upon Oath , Numb . 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 11. That he prosecuted one , some years ago , for speaking Seditious Words against the late King James ; and offer'd to Compound for a Treat , and some Money ; and , for a Guinea to get the Indictment found Ignoramus , Numb . 8. Price That he often pass'd for one of the Kings Messengers , appears by the abovesaid Affidavits upon Oath , ( Numb . 5 , 6 , 7 , 11. ) which are against him , and Swaine , jointly . And that he and his Gang , pretending they were the Kings Officers , Riffled Houses , without either Warrant or Constable , taking away several Books , and other Things , Numb . 6. Notes, typically marginal, from the original text Notes for div B02599-e10 That Capell , Swaine , and Price , are Common Informers .
