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).

A PROCLAMATION Concerning the Prorogation of the Parliament . CHARLES R. WHereas since Our last Session of Parliament the same was Prorogued by Vs until the third day of October then next coming and now near at hand , At which time We did fully intend to have held Our next Session of Parliament at Westminster , if it had pleased God to remove the Infection of the Plague from the Cities of London and Westminster , Or to abate it in such measure that the Parliament might have met there , without the manifest Peril of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal , and the Commons : And whereas the increase of the Plague is now become so Dreadful , and the Infection thereof so generally dispersed in , and about Our Cities of London and Westminster , that We have great reason to fear We shall not be able to Assemble Our Parliament there where We chiefly desired : We have therefore with the Advice of Our Privy Council thought fit , and Do hereby Declare and Publish Our Royal Will and Pleasure , That the same Parliament shall be again Prorogued from the Third of October unto the Ninth day of the same October , and from the City of Westminster unto the City of Oxford , Where We have taken care that good Accommodation be made and kept for the several Members of both Our Houses of Parliament , to be there holden upon the said Ninth of October . Whereof the Lords Spiritual and Temporal , and all and every the Knights , Citizens , and Burgesses of the House of Commons , and all others whom it doth or may concern , are to take notice , and to order their affairs accordingly ; We letting them know , that although We shall not require any of their Attendance at Westminster upon the said Third of October ( except such only who may conveniently be present at the making of the said Prorogation in the usual manner ) Nebertheless We do expect , and do hereby require and strictly charge and command them , and every of them personally to appear at Our said City of Oxford upon the said Ninth of October , then and there to proceed in those Weighty and Vrgent Affairs which shall be there handled , and shall be most expedient for the general good of Vs and Our Kingdoms . Given at Our Court at Salisbury the Thirtieth day of August , in the Seventeenth year of Our Reign . 1665. God save the King.
