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).

JO : BERKELEY . WHEREAS by the antient Laws and Statutes of this Realm , great and heavy penalties are Inflicted upon all such as shall be found to be spreaders of false News , or Promoters of any Malicious Slanders and Calumnies in their ordinary and common Discourses . Notwithstanding all which Laws and Statutes , there have been of late more bold and Licentious Discourses then formerly ; and men have assumed to themselves a Liberty , not onely in Coffee-houses , but in other Places and Meetings , both publick and private , to censure and defame the Proceedings of State , by speaking evil of things they understand not ; and endeavouring to create and nourish an universal jealousie and Dissatisfaction in the minds of all His Majesties good Subjects : We the Lord Lieutenant and Council considering that Offences of this nature , cannot proceed from want or Ignorance of Laws to Restrain and Punnish them , but must of necessity proceed from the r●●tless malice of some , whose Seditious ends and aims are already too well known , or from the careless demeanour of others who presume too much upon His Majesties accustomed Clemency and Goodness , have thought fit by this Our Proclamation to forewarn , and straitly command all His Majesties Subjects , of what state or condition soever they be , from the highest to the lowest , that they presume not henceforth by writing or speaking , to Utter or publish any false News or Reports , or to intermeddle with the Affairs of State and Government or with the persons of any His Majesties Councellors or Ministers , in their common and ordinary discourses , as they will answer the contrary at their utmost perils . And because all bold and irreverent Speeches touching matters of this high nature are Punnishable , not only in the speakers , but in the hearers also , unless they do speedily reveal the same unto some of His Majesties Privy Council , or some other His Majesties Judges or Justices of the Peace , therefore that all men may be left without excuse , who shall not hereafter contain themselves within that modest and dutiful regard which becomes them We do further declare , that we will proceed with all severity against all manner of persons who shall use any bold or unlawful speeches of this nature , or be present at any Coffee-house , or other publick or Private meeting where such speeches are used without revealing the same in due time , we being resolved to suppress this unlawful and undutiful kind of discourse by a most strict and exemplary punishment of all such offenders as shall be hereafter discovered .
