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).

ROGER PRICE the Petitioner's Father being seized in Fee of the Mannour of Westbury in the County of Bucks , of the value of 400 l. per Annum did by a voluntary Settlement dated the 25th . Day of June 1658 , convey the same to Sir John Cutler and Edward Trussell and their Heirs , to the use of himself and Anne his Wife for their respective Lives ; the remainder to John Price his Eldest Son then born , and the Heirs Males of his Body , with Remainders to his Second , Third , and every other Son on the Body of Anne begotten , in Tayle Male with Remainders to the Heirs of the Body of him and Anne to be begotten , and the Remainders to his right Heirs under a Proviso , That it should be lawfull for the said Roger Price , at any time during his Life , by his Deed or Deeds to alter , change , revoke , determine and make void all or any the Estate or Estates , Use or Uses limited to any of his Sons . And that from and after such alteration , change , revocation , determination , or making void thereof , that the said Sir John Cutler , &c. should stand seized of the Premisses , to such Use and Uses of any the Son or Sons of the said Roger and Anne , and for such Estate and Estates , to such Son or Sons as the said Roger Price the Petitioner's Father by his Deed or Deeds should declare , limit or appoint . The said Roger Price the Father being so seized , and having Issue Roger his second Son , George , Thomas , and other his younger Sons on the Body of the said Anne , and John the first Son being dead without Issue , the said Roger the Father by Indenture Tripartite dated the 8th of August 1676. reciting the aforesaid Settlement and Proviso , did pursuant thereunto , revoke all and every the Estate and Estates , Use and Uses in and by the said Settlement limited ; and thereby limited the said Mannour and Premisses , and declared that the Uses and Estates of and in the said Premisses should be and enure ; and that the said Sir John Cutler , &c. should stand seized of all the Premisses from and after his Decease to the use of the Petitioner Roger Price his then Son and Heir apparent , for Ninety nine years , if he so long lived , with Remainders to three of his younger Sons and their Heirs for the Life of Roger the Petitioner , to preserve contingent Remainders with Remainder to the first Son of Roger Price the Petitioner and every other his Sons successively in Tayle Male , with like Remainders to every other the Sons of the said Roger Price the Father and their respective Sons in Tayle Male , with power to each of them when in possession successively to make , give , limit and appoint any of the Premisses ( except the Mannour-House , Gardens and Grounds about the same therein excepted ) unto or to the use of any Wife or Wives , Woman or Women , as they respectively should Marry , for the Jointure of such Wife or Wives for their respective Lives . Roger Price the Father also by his Will bearing Date the 26th of August 1676. settles other Lands within the aforesaid Mannour ( by him purchased after the said Settlement ) to the same use , with like Power to limit the same also for Jointures as he had before done by the Deed , chargeable nevertheless with several Annuities for Life ( 40 l. per Annum whereof is still in being . ) Roger the Father being dead , the said Roger the Petitioner ( being in Possession ) limited the Premisses in Jointure to Elizabeth his Wife , but it being doubtfull whether such Power to Roger the Petitioner be sufficient and good in Law as was intended by his Father , It is therefore prayed an Act may pass to confirm and make good that Power to him and his Brothers when in possession successively . Reasons humbly offered for passing the Bill . First , for that it appears by the Settlement and Will , the Father intended the Sons successively should have power to make such Jointure . Secondly , for that Elizabeth the Wife of the Petitioner brought a Fortune of 7000 l. into the Family . Thirdly , for that they have Five Sons and a Daughter living , and the Eldest Son will have ( besides the Mannour of Westbury , so intended for the Jointure of the Wife ) an Estate of 1500 l. per Annum , which is now and hath been ever since the Petitioner's Father's Death in Trustees hands for raising of Portions for the Brothers and Sisters of the Petitioner . Fourthly , unless the Petitioner can make a Jointure ( according to his Father's Intention ) out of Westbury , he will be disabled from making any Provision for his younger Children , the rest of his Estate ( except 150 l. per Annum ) being entailed upon his Eldest Son. Fifthly , for that the Petitioner was forced to settle the said 150 l. per Annum , and his Wives Estate in Houses and Land , worth about 200 l. per Annum ( which is intended for the younger Children ) for a Collateral security that his Wife should enjoy her said Jointure until an Act of Parliament could be obtained to confirm the same , and unless such Act be obtained the Collateral security cannot be discharged , so that the younger Children cannot have any thing during their Mothers Life .
