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).

ESSEX , WHereas we are Authorized and Required by His Majesties Letters , bearing date the 13th . day of February , 1676 , to give such further Rules and Directions for the better disposing and Settling the remaining part of the security of the Commissioned Officers which served his Majestie in the wars of Ireland , before the fifth of June , 1649. As we shall see necessary and conductng to the better satisfaction of that interest . We have thought fit to give the following Rules to His Majesties Commissioners appointed for setling the undisposed part of the said security . First , That in case the Possessor desires to Compound for the Fee of any Lands , Tenements or Hereditaments , and it doth not appeare ( otherwise than by his own discovery ) that the Kings is Intituled to the same , that the Possessor be Admitted to have His Majesties Title , and be Discharged of the mean Profits , paying one third part of the value of the said Lands , Tenements , or Hereditaments , the same to be valued , viz. the Inheritance of Lands at ten Years Purchase of clear Yearly value , over and above the Quite , Rent , and of Houses , and other Hereditaments , at eight Years purchase at the like clear yearly value . Secondly , That where there is an Incombrance , and the Possessor desires the Preemption , and being his own discovery , there the inheritance of Lands , Tenements and Hereditaments to be valued as aforesaid , and the Incumbrance being deducted , the Possessor to pay , viz. if an Incumbrance of money by Mortgage or otherwise upon Lands or Houses , one third of the Remain of the value , and if an Incumbrance by Lease for Term of years , the Lease to be indifferently valued , and to pay one third of that value after deduction of the Ineumbrance as aforesaid ; And if the Incumbrance be from a Nocent , to an Innocent , in which case the Money is onely forfeited , a third part of the Money . Thirdly , That where the possessor desires to Compound for the Fee of any Lands , Tenements , or Hereditaments , and by the help of a discoverer the Litle already appears , in such case the Discoverer vsing first satisfied by the Possessor , according to former Rules , the Possessor to pay one moyety of the Remain according to the values aforesaid , yet no Possessor to have any benefit of this Rule , who shall not within twenty days next after notice or warning given him by the said Commissioners , appear before them and accept thereof , without further suit or trouble . Fourthly , Where the Possessor hath built from the ground since November , 1660. and himself making discovery , to Pay Ten years Purchase according to the value of the ground as the same shall appear to be worth before the said Improvements , and where there was any former building , upon the ground which has been since pulled down , and New built or repaired , the said Possessor to pay eight years purchase , according to the value of the said former building , And we do hereby lastly order and Declare , that in all Certificates hereafter to be passed by the aforesaid Commissioners of any Mortgaged or Incumbred houses or Lands within the security of the said Commissioned Officers , to any person who now is or hereafter shall be intituled to the Preemption of the same , or that shall by Canting or giving most , come to have the Inheritance , and Fee thereof absolutely adjudged or decreed to him , The said Commissioners to thereupon ascertain and reserve the Quitrents payable thereout to His Majestie , according to such proportion as the whole value of the said Respective Houses or Lands at the rate of Ten years Purchase , shall appear to them to exceed the unforfeiced Incumbrances thereupon , so that if such Houses or Lands shall be of more value and near , but not a full fourth part more than such unforfeited Incumbrances thereupon , in such case onely one fourth part of the Quitrent payable by the Acts of Settlement and Explanation shall be Reserved to His Majestie out of such Houses or Lands , And so in like manner and proportion where the value of such Houses or Lands shall appear in a greater or less Proportion to exceed such unforfeited Incumbrances thereupon , Yet so as the Rents that shall be so reserved , be not in any case less than one Fifth Part of the nex●t Quitrents payable to His Majestie out of such Lands by the said Arts , and that the said Rents so to be reserved , be also in all cases something more than the Rent payable to his Majestie out of such Lands in the year 1641. And that upon passing such Certificate , the Rents therein to be reserved be made payable to his Majestie from the Date of such Certificate , And whereas the present Farmers of his Majesties Revenue , have declared their willingness and readiness to consent and agree to the moderation & abatement of Quitrents according to the proportion aforesaid , in all cases where the present Proprietor or Possessor of and Mortgaged or Incumbred Lands or Houses , within the security of the forty nine Officers , shall be willing to compound and agree for the preemption or Redemption of the Mortgages & Incumbrances thereon , & pass Letters Patents thereof with all convenient speed , We do hereby further order , that in all such cases the said Commissioners do acquaint the said Farmers of his Majesties Revenue of such persons as they shall thereunto Nominate or appoint , with the proceedings as for what Relates to the Quitrent which from time to time shall be made by them with any such Proprietor or possessor , & more especially with the value the said Commissioners shall put upon such lands , in order to the ascertaining the Rent to be reserved thereout , to the end the said Farmers , or the persons thereunto appointed by them being satisfied therein , may agree and consent thereunto , or otherwise declare rnd offer their reasons to the contrary , or causes why they do not Consent . And in case any Difference shall happen between the said Farmers & the said Commissioners concerning the valuation of such houses or lands , or the due proportioning of the said Quitrents , the same is as well by the said Farmers , or those appointed by them , as by the said Commissioners to be certified or Represented to the Lord Lieutenant , or other Chief Governour or Governours of this Kingdom for the time being , to be finally settled and determined , as upon due Consideration and Examination of the matter in difference shall be by him found reasonable and just .
