Formerly STC 8799--Cf. STC (2nd ed.). Reproduction of original in the Harvard University. Library. 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).

And His Maiesties further pleasure and Commandement is , that all Sheriffes shall returne their Writs and Proces against all such Accomptants and Debtors , at the dayes therein appointed . And if any person , or persons , who ought to accompt , or pay any summe , or summes of money to His Maiestie in any of the Courts and places afore-said doe make default therein , that then His Highnesse Writs and Proces shall bee awarded and sent foorth against euery such person and persons , and the same to bee duly and orderly serued , and returned by the Sheriffes and Officers thereunto appointed in such like manner and forme as the same should haue beene if this present Proclamantion had not beene made . And if any Sheriffe or other Officer shall make default , or bee negligent in seruing , executing , or returning of any the Writs and Proces aforesaid , that then euery such Sheriffe and other Officer shall incurre such paines and penalties as by the said Courts , or any of them shall bee taxed and assessed , Willing and Commanding all and euery His Maiesties Sheriffes , Officers , Ministers and Subiects , to whom it doeth , or shall appertaine to obserue and keepe their assemblies and apparances with all their Returnes and Certificats in His Highnesse said Courts at Westminster in Mense Michaelis next comming , then and there to be holden and kept , and there to doe their Offices and duties in euery behalfe in like manner and forme as they should , or ought to haue done if this present Proclamation had not beene had or made , as they will answere to the contrary at their perils .
