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 Lords of Our Privy Council , conform to the Power given to them in the foresaid Act of Parliament , by their Instructions to the Commissioners of Supply within the several Shires of this Kingdom , of the Date the eighth day of February last by past : appointed the saids Commissioners furthwith , to make exact Lists of the Heretors and Lands lyable in the said Levy , that so it might be perfectly known who were lyable . And in case any men were to be put out by Fractions , and that they could not agree who should furnish the body of the man , the saids Commissioners should order the Fractions to meet at a certain day and place , and there determine it by an equal Lot , effeiring to their respective Numbers of Men , or the quantities of their respective Valuations , as the use was in every Shire ; so that every Lotter was to have as many Lots , as he had Numbers of Men , or quantities of valued Rent sufficient for the Outreik of a man : And in case any of the saids Fractions should not meet , or should refuse to Lot , the saids Commissioners were authorized to appoint such as they should think fit , to meet and Lot for them . And in case the person upon whom the Lot fell to put out a man for himself and his Fraction , should fail in furnishing the man , or should furnish an insufficient man ; then the Tennents and Possessors of the Lands and Ground belonging to the saids persons who should have put out the man , should be lyable ; and the person upon whom the Lot did fall , and who failȝied to put out the man in manner foresaid , should be decerned in the Sum of two hundred Merks . To which Act of Parliament and Instructions foresaid , We expected punctual and exact Complyance and Obedience . Yet , not only a great many outreicked and furnished to serve as Souldiers in the said new Levy , are rejected and sent home as Insufficient ; but likewise , many lyable to outreick and furnish men for the said Levy , are deficient and altogether wanting , in sending out the Numbers of men wherein they are lyable , conform to the said Act of Parliament and Instructions foresaids , and thereby have Incurred the Penalties contained in the saids Instructions , by and attour their being lyable for the persons of the men whom they were to have outreiked , conform to the said Act of Parliament and Instructions . Therefore , and for the more effectual providing the said men , and compleating the number of Souldiers offered to Us by the foresaid Act of Parliament , and exacting the Penalties Constitute in the foresaids Instructions ; We , with Advice of the Lords of Our Privy Council , peremptorly Require and Command the Sheriff , of the several Shires , and their Deputs , Stewarts of Sewartries , Baillies of Regalities , and their respective Deputs , and Magistrats of Burghs Royal , within this Our antient Kingdom , as they wil be answerable , each of them within their own respective Jurisdictions , presently upon sight hereof , to call for a List of the deficient men within their respective Bounds , and of the Persons who should have put out the same and upon recept thereof , where no Lotting hath been made for Fractions , that he immediatly cast Lots amongst the saids Fractions , who shall put out the man one or more , and then shall pass to the Ground of his Lands upon whom the Lot shall happen to fall , and there immedialy pitch upon , take and apprehend a sufficient man out of his said men , able to serve Us as a Souldier , and commit them Prisoners to the Prison of the head Burgh of the Shire , there to be keeped at four shillig Scots per diem , upon the Expenses of the Officer who is to receive him upon advertisement from the Sheriff , or other Judge foresaid who causes apprehend and commit him to the said Prison : and which Allowance is to be refounded to the said Officer , by the Pay of the said Souldier , which is to be allowed to him for the said person , from the day of his being committed , as if he had been Listed and Inrolled as a Souldier in Our Service ; and in like manner , shall apprehend sufficient men upon the Ground of the Lands of these who are deficient , according to the numbers they have not put out , and are lyable to , whether by the Rule of the Militia specified in the Act of Parliament , or other ways ; and deliver them to the next Commanding Officers , in manner , and to the end above mentioned : and likewise , that they cause exact the Penallies mentioned in the saids Instructions , from all who have incurred the same , by and attour the apprehending and delivering the man , in manner foresaid . OUR WILL IS HEREFORE , and We Charge you strictly , and Command , that in continent these Our Letters seen , ye pass to the Mercat-Cross of Edinburgh , and to the Mercat-Crosses of the Remanent Burghs of the whole Shires of this Kingdom , and there in Our Name and Authority , make publick Intimation of the Premisses , that none may pretend Ignorance .
