"Giuen at the Guild-Hall the seuenth day of Ianuary, Anno Dom. 1633." Date of publication suggested by STC (2nd ed.). Reproduction of originals in the Guildhall Library (London, England) and the British 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).

WHereas the right honourable the Lords of his Maiesties most honourable priuy Councell , hauing taken care to reforme many abuses that haue of late crept into this City and places adioyning , as the excessiue number of Tauernes , and the eractions vsed in the immoderate prices of all sorts of prouisions in Ordinaries and Hosteries : and finding that the said abuse hath appeared in nothing more than in the excessiue rates of Poultry of all sorts , being so vnreasonably enhaunsed by Poulterers and Higlers , that it is not onely an intolerable grieuance to his Maiesties Subiects , but the inconuenience thereof doth also deepely reflect vpon his Maiesties houshold . Haue signified the expresse Command of his Maiesty That the Lord Mayor and his brethren , the Aldermen , should enter into serious consideration of that particular grieuance , as a thing altogether vnsufferable , and should set such prices as they should conceiue to be fit for all small Acates and other prouisions , and to set vp the same in publike ▪ Tables to the end that both Buyer and Seller may take notice thereof : and also should vary them from time to time as they shall finde iust cause . In obedience whereunto , the said Lord Mayor , by the aduice of the said Aldermen , for remedy and reformation thereof , hath , vpon mature deliberation , set such rates and prices as seeme meete and reasonable to be giuen and paid for all sorts of Poultry and other small Acates , to be sold within this City and Liberties thereof , and hath commanded the same rates to be published and set vp in Tables , to the end and intent that all and euery person and persons may thereby haue cleare knowledge and vnderstanding what the Poulterers and all other person and persons ought iustly to demand or take of them for their Poultry , vended as aforesaid . Streightly charging and commanding euery of the said Poulterers and others , as aforesaid , that they or any of them do not at any time or times hereafter demand , require or take any more or greater price for their said Poultry , than is assessed and rated as aforesaid : And that no manner of person or persons doe in any wise pay more than after the same rates . And also , that euery person do obey and keep aswell the said prices , as all other prices that shall from time to time hereafter be set and appointed by the said Lord Mayor for any prouision of Victuall whatsoeuer , vpon pain of such punishment to be inflicted vpon the Transgressors , as according to the lawes , and their deserts shall bee thought meete and requisite . Prouided alwayes , that all manner of persons may from time to time buy Poultry at lesser and lower prices , as they can furnish themselues . Giuen at the Guild-Hall the seuenth day of Ianuary , Anno Dom. 1633. God saue the King. Printed by Robert Young , Printer to the Honourable Citie of London .
