Reproduction of 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).

Right Trusty and Welbeloved , We greet you well . WHereas Our Royal Father of Blessed Memory , did in the Year One thousand six hundred thirty and two , Constitute and Establish a Society of Fishers , and declared , That He was resolved by all good occasions , favorably to Assist , and graciously Accept the forwardness of all those that should express their Zeal to His Majesties Service in so general and publick an undertaking , It being then Resolved and Concluded by His Majesty , that it was very honorable and necessary for this Kingdom . Now that the true Managing , and most advantageous prosecution thereof , is by experience discovered by Philip late Earl of Pembroke and Mountgomery , and his Associates , who did cause sundry Fishing-Vessels to be provided and built , which employed many Families in making of Nets and other Provisions ( one Vessel employing Twenty Families in work ) besides the breéding of Country-Youths to be made serviceable Mariners in short time , as by the Book called The Royal Herring Buss Fishings presented unto Vs , doth plainly appear . And whereas We are informed , that the Nation doth abound with great numbers of poor Families and Vagrants , who for want of employment are like to perish , unless some speédy care be taken for their relief ; and that the several Wards and Suburbs of this Our City of London , and Hamlets adjacent , are burthened with multitudes of poor people , not onely which are born in the said places , but such as come out of sundry Countries to seék Relief . For redress whereof , We do hereby recommend unto the care of you Our Lord Major of the said City , to advise with each Alderman , and cause his Ward-moot Inquest to give in a particular of all the poor Inhabitants within his Ward , what their employment is , and how many are without employment , and present the same to the rest of the Inhabitants in his Ward , with a Copy thereof , and excite them to a freé Subscription for raising a stock to buy Hemp and Clap-boards to make Herring Fishing-Nets and Barrels , for the furnishing and fitting out of one Buss or Fishing-Vessel to belong to the said Ward ; which will give all the Poor and Vagrants employment , the said Ward husbanding the same to their best advantage . The which We shall in like manner recommend to all the Counties , Cities , and Towns within Our Dominions , whereby to make it a National employment for the general good , and will give all fitting assistance unto the Vndertakers for their encouragement ; that so when Provisions shall be made ready , and Store-houses built in commodious places about the River of Thames , ( where breaches have beén made ) and the like , in the several Ports ; Magazines may be fitted with Nets , Cask , Salt , and all things in readiness , the Busses may all go forth to Our Island of Sheetland as their Rendezvous to keép together in their Fishing , according to certain Orders prescribed in the aforesaid Book ; and to take that priviledge of the Fishing-grounds which belongs to Vs before all Nations whatsoever . And so We bid you heartily farewel . Given at Our Court at Whitehal this Three and twentieth day of July , in the Twelfth year of Our Reign . By His Majesties Command . Ed. Nicholas .
