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).

And to this end , doth most straightly charge and require all His Subjects , Vassals , and Servants , to fall upon the English , prohibiting them for the future , to have any Communication , Commerce , or Intelligence with them , upon pain of Deaths . And to this end , His Majesty hath revoked , and from henceforth doth revoke , All Licences , Passes , Letters of Protection , and of Safe-guard , which may have been granted by Himself , His Lieutenant Generals , or other Officers , contrary to these presents , declaring them void , and of no effect ; and commanding that no regard or consideration be had of them by any person or persons whatsoever .

After the Publication of the said Declaration , in the manner above expressed , the Lord Hollis having taken his leave of that Court , and so being divested of his Character , thought fit to represent to Monsieur de Lionne , one of the Secretaries of State , the exorbitancy thereof , and how offensive it would look to all the World , to expose the Estates and Persons of His Majesty of Great Britain's Subjects , to the last violences , if it were literally executed ; and how contrary it was to the Treaties subsisting between the two Nations , not to allow a competent time for persons to withdraw themselves from the rigorous execution of it ; His Majesty of France was pleased to issue this following Declaration , allowing three moneths time for all English to withdraw their Persons and Estates from His Territories . By the King. HIs Majesty having been given to understand , that the English which are now in the Kingdom , do apprehend they may be molested in their persons , and disturbed in the enjoyment of their Estates , in consequence of the Ordinance of the 26 of January last ; in which , His Majesty declared He would joyn all His Force to that of the Estates General of the United Provinces of the Low Countreys , to act against the English , as well by Sea as by Land ; charging and requiring all His Subjects to fall upon them , and not to have from thenceforth any Commerce or Communication with them . And although there be not any ground for such apprehension , seeing the said Ordinance cannot be understood , but against the English that shall hereafter be met at Sea by His Majesties Ships , or that shall appear on the Coasts of the Kingdom , to Land and enter there in Arms , or otherwise ; and not against private persons that are settled in the Kingdom , or that are come hither upon the Faith of that good Correspondence which hath hitherto been between this Crown , and that of England : Yet His Majesty desirous more particularly to explain His meaning therein , hath ordered , and doth order , That such English , as being not Naturalized , have settled themselves in the Kingdom , or are at present here , do quit it within three moneths , to be accounted from the date of these presents ; during which time , they may safely sell or transport their Merchandize and other Goods . His Majesty , in the mean time , strictly commanding all His Subjects not to molest the said private Englishmen in their Persons or Goods , for any cause or occasion , or under any pretext whatsoever , except by the ordinary ways of Justice ; and so , as they might have done before the publication of the said Ordinance of 26 January last .
