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 infection of the Plague is daily dispersed more & more in diuers parts of this City and the Liberties therof , aswell for that the houses infected haue not been , nor yet are kept shut vp , according to the Proclamation , and many Precepts and Orders in that behalfe made and taken , aswell by the Kings most excellent Maiestie , as by mee and my Brethren the Aldermen , as also for that the people infected , and whose houses are infected ( against all honestie , humane ciuility , and good conscience , seeking as it were rather the desolation of the Citie , and of this Kingdome by dispersing of the infection , then otherwise ) do daily intrude themselues into all companies , both priuate and publike , aswell at Sermons as elsewhere , and doe flocke and follow the dead to the Graue in multitudes , one still infecting another , to the displeasure of Almighty God , and great griefe of his Maiestie , to vnderstand of the destruction of his Subiects in such wilfull and desperate manner . To the end therefore that the cause of further infection , which may happen by any of the aforesaid occasions ( if God be so pleased ) may be taken away , and the Kings Subiects ( whom in his Princely and gracious care had ouer them , he tendereth as dearely as himselfe ) may be preserued from that perill . These are in Gods Name to exhort and perswade , and in his Maiesties Name straightly to charge and command all persons whatsoeuer , inhabiting within this Citie and the Liberties thereof , whose houses now are , or hereafter during this Visitation , shall be infected with the Plague , vpon their Allegiance , and due obedience , that they doe owe vnto our said Soueraigne Lord the King , to keepe their said houses shut vp , for the space of xxviii . dayes next after the buriall of any dying of the Plague out of their said houses , And that the people infected , and of the said infected houses , doe continue in their said houses , during the said time of xxviii . dayes , and none of them goe abroad , but onely for necessarie food , and with red wands in their hands , and doe not come into , or frequent any publike assemblies , nor follow the dead infected bodies to the Graue , vpon paine of his Highnesse heauy displeasure and imprisonment of their bodies so offending by the space of ten dayes , without bayle or maynprize : Requiring also , and charging all Churchwardens , Constables , Beadles of Wardes , Clarkes and Sextons of Parishes , and all other Officers and Ministers within this Citie and the Liberties thereof , euery one of them in his place and office , carefully to looke vnto the performance of the premisses , and of all other orders formerly set downe by the Lord Maior and Aldermen of this Citie for the time being , or by me and my Brethren the Aldermen , concerning the auoyding of the Plague , vpon like paine as aforesaid .
