Reproduction of the original in the Bodleian Library. 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).

SIR , ON the Eleventh of this Instant , Arrived here a Vessel , with some Fugitive Protestants Aboad , which give an Account , that the pretended Parliament of Dublin , after the general Concurrence of both Houses , for rescinding and abolishing the late Act of Settlement , proceeded to pass a Bill for the Forfeiture of all Estates of Protestants absent ; which , with all Severity , even ●●e Soldiers and Rabble-Papists put in Execution : That upon the Report of Supplies ●eing Landed at London-Derry , they immediately Issued out an Order for securing all Protestants of any Note ; and particularly , they have clapt up the Reverend Doctor Action , Vice●rovost of the Col●edg , and Doctor King the Minister of St. Warbourgh's Parish , and seve●l others , upon a Blind pretence , that they were Plotting against the Government , ( as ●●ey stile it ) though all that could be said for harmless and Innocent Persons , was urg'd 〈◊〉 their behalf to the late King ; but such is the Insolence and Jealousie of the French Minister , and his Party , That it is now thought no longer in his Power to deny or main●in any thing against them . Yesterday came in a Vessel from Dublin to this Port , in com●●ny of another small Vessel , and King William's Officers of his Customs going on Board her , ●emember'd the Master had about five Weeks before stole out of the Harbour , without ●●king her Entry at the Custom-House , and the Master besides being suspected for an ill Man they gave notice to the Mayor , and other the Kings Officers , who immediately Re●●●t and Seize on the Kings Vessels ; and , after strict Search , find packt up Fifty Commis●●●● , directed to several persons in Lancashire ; which Commissions were forthwith sent to 〈◊〉 Majesty , and 't is hoped , will give an ample Discovery of all or most of the disaffected ●●●sons in that County : Colonel Kirk , with the Ships and Soldiers under his Command , ●●●●'d from the Isle of Man the fifth Instant , the Wind at East South-East , a pretty strong ●●le , so that we doubt not , by this time , of his safe Arrival : From Dublin we hear , that the ●●●…ist Army is extreamly discouraged with the vigorous Resistance of the Protestants in London-Derry , that they begin to look nearer into Matters , and do already shake their ●●ads , and wish they could handsomely unravel their past Actions . Doctor Walker , and ●●eutenant Baker , do labour indefatigably for the support of the Town , which stands ●●●m yet , and in good condition ; though by continual Watchings , and hard Service , they ●o hourly wish and Sigh for their long expected Succours . The Lord Tyrconnel continues ●et indisposed with the Black Jaundice , which had like to have prov'd dangerous to him ; ●e seems to be sensibly afflicted for the loss of his reputed Son the Lord Galmoy , ( who was ●ill'd before London-Derry in the last great Sally ) and is not well satisfied with the French ●anagement of Affairs : Many of the Irish Army desert daily , and take the Boggs for ●●eir Refuge , being either terrified with the haughty Insolence of their French Comman●rs , or tired with the continual drudgery of Marching , Counter-Marching , and other ●…teigues of Martial Exercise and Dangers : We have it confirm'd , that great Numbers of Boats and other small Vessels , design'd ( as is thought ) for Transportation of Sol●●ers from any part of the North of Ireland to Scotland , have been seized and burnt by ●he Ships from Scotland . The Protestants of Dublin begin now to be very apprehensive 〈◊〉 their Safety , especially since the Confinement of those Clergy men and Encroachments 〈◊〉 the Colledge : The late King hath put a stop to all Passes ; and such is the strictness and severity of the Searchers , that we are likely to have little or no Intelligence from Dublin . This is all that occurs at present From your Humble Servant , J. M. LONDON . Printed for W. Downing 168●
