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).

Samuel Shepheard , and John James David , Merchants of London . Humbly offered to the Consideration of this Honourable House , for RELIEF . SIR John Lambert , Bar. Samuel Shepheard , and John James David , bought of Henry Bray and John Bowden , Twenty three Tuns and a Quarter , of French Prize Wine , taken by the Success Privateer of Guernsey , lying at Penryn near Falmouth ; and accepted Bills of Exchange for 1050l . drawn by the Collectors there , for the Customs thereof ; and shipped Twenty one Tuns and three Hogsheads of the said Wine , on Board a Coaster , called The New Topsham , William Dair Master , bound for the Port of London , who sailed from Falmouth with her Majesty's Tin Vessels , having for Convoy the Dover and Sunderland Men of War. YET notwithstanding the Convoy , the said Vessel called The New Topsham , which had on Board Twenty one Tuns , and three Hogsheads of the said Wine , was in the Night , off Beachy-Head , taken by a French Privateer , and carryed into Calice , and there sold . WHEREUPON the Merchants above , applyed to be relieved from the Payment of the said Bills of Exchange , because the said Wine never came to Port , but were taken and carryed into Calice , and there sold , as aforesaid ; and therefore did no Ways supply the Market , or hinder other Importation , to the Prejudice of Her Majesty's Customs . BUT the Duties of the said Wines being appropriated to the Use of the War , they have not been able to obtain further than Time to pray a Bill or Clause for their Relief . AND therefore they humbly hope this Honourable House will , in Consideration of the Hardship of their Case , discharge the said Bills of Exchange , and not suffer them to pay Custom for Goods which never came to Port ; or give them Leave to import Wines Custom - Free , to the same Value with those lost , as is allowed where Goods are exported that never reach their Port , in which Case , the Merchant hath always been suffered to export Custom-Free , to the same Value .
