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).

Forasmuch , as from Our tender care and great zeal for preserving the peace and quiet of this Church and Kingdom , by Our former Proclamations We have prohibited and discharged all private Meetings and Conventicles , under the pretext of religious Exercise and Worship : And yet nevertheless , in divers places of this Kingdom , some outed Ministers and others take upon them to preach and exercise the functions of the Ministery , in meetings of Our Subjects not warranted by Law , to the high contempt of Our Authority and Government , and disquiet of the peace of this Church and Kingdom . Therefore , We , with advice of the Lords of Our Privy Council , ( but derogation in any sort from Our said former Proclamations or pains therein contained ) Do command all Heretors timeously to delate any , who within there bounds shall take upon them to preach or carry on Worship in such unwarranted Meetings and Assemblies , and make their names known to Sheriffs , Stewarts , Lords and Ba●…s of Regalities and their Deputes , Barons , Magistrates of Burghs , Justices of Peace , and Officers and Commissioners of the Militia within whose bounds and jurisdictions they may be apprehended . And do hereby authorize and command the Sheriffs and others foresaids , that ( after intimation made to them that the persons foresaids are within their respective bounds ) they make exact search and enquiry after them , and if they be found , that they apprehend and incarcerate their persons , and acquaint the Lords of Our Privy Council of their imprisonment ; and requires the Magistrates of Burghs to receive and detain them prisoners until further order ; and that this they do , as they wi●… answerable under all highest pain . Likeas We will , that all Our good Subjects be hereby advertised , that We are resolved in the future to put Our Laws , Acts , Statutes and Proclamations , vigorously in execution , against with-drawers from the publick Worship in their own Paroch Churches . And ordains these presents to be printed , and published at the Mercat-crosse of Edinburgh and other head Burghs of Shires within this Kingdom , that none pretend ignorance . Al. Gibson , Cls.
