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).

ESSEX . WHEREAS We are informed , That the price of Corn , and all sorts of Grain and Meal is grown excessive great in severall parts of this Kingdom , and the same doth arise ( as is conceived ) not so much from the scarcity of the store , as from the great quantities of Corn that have been of late carried out of this Countrey into Forreign parts , and also from the ill disposed minds of the Countrey-Farmers and Corn-masters at home , some whereof keep back their Corn , and will not bring the same into the publick Markets to be sold ; Others some there are , who go into the near adjacent Counties , where Corn is sold at more moderate prices , and buy up all they can , with intention to hoard the same , either to export or sell it at their own rates : And others some do hasten early to meet such as are coming to the publick Markets , and buy up all they can forestall , on purpose to inhance the price thereof , and sell the same again at their own wills and pleasures . And whereas so great misdemeanors are not to be suffered in any well govern'd Commonwealth , and are against the Laws and Statutes of this Realm ; and the several Magistrates and Officers in the respective Cities and Towns Corporate of this Kingdom , and the Iustices of the Peace in the counties at large ought to be very circumspect , and active , in their several and respective places , to discover and bring unto condign punishment all such persons as they shall find to be guilty of any the Offences aforesaid . To the intent and purpose therefore , that all His Majesties good Subjects may know that we are very sensible of the aforesaid several misdemeanors , and intend to proceed to a speedy and orderly reformation of the same for the relief of the poor , and the due punishment of such as shall be found guilty of offending in that kind , and for a timely and seasonable prevention of that great scarcity , which otherwise may by such evil practices be brought upon this whole Kingdom ; We the Lord Lieutenant and Council do hereby in His Majesties Name , strictly charge and command all manner of persons whatsoever , That they do from henceforth , until Michaelmas next , forbear to ship , carry , or transport any Wheat , Barly , Rye , Beare , Oats , Pease , Pulse , Meslin , or any Meal out of this Realm , to any other place whatsoever beyond the Seas , as they will answer the contrary at their perils . And We require all His Majesties Officers in the several and respective Ports of this Kingdom , and the Farmers of the Great Branches of His Majesties Revenue , that they do seise all such Grain or Meal as they shall find to be shipt after the Date of this Our Proclamation , and before Michaelmas next , with intent to export the same contrary to the true meaning hereof . And We do hereby farther require , and in His Majesties Name straightly charge and command all Countrey-Farmers , and Corn-Masters , and all such who Trade or Deal in the buying and selling of Corn , and have by them any Stores of Wheat , Barley , Rye , Beans-Oats , Pease , Pulse , or any other sort of Corn , Grain , or Meal , that they do bring , or cause to be brought such a competent part and portion thereof , into the publick open Markets every Market-day weekly , as may supply the Markets with Corn , and furnish the poor with Bread at such rates as the Markets shall afford . And We do charge and command all Mayors , Sheriffs , Bayliffs , Portreeves , Magistrates , and other Officers whatsoever , in the several and respective Cities and Towns corporate of this Kingdom , That they do in their several places and Offices make diligent search and strict inquiry after such as are Ingrossers , Fore-stallers , and Regraters within any their Cities , Liberties , or Towns corporate of this Kingdom , and cause them to be punished and proceeded against according to Law ; And that all His Majesties Iustices of the Peace in the several and respective Counties of this Kingdom , do in their several and respective Counties , Baronies , parishes , and places , inquire after and find such out as do ingross and hoard up Corn , Grain , or Meal to inhance the price thereof , and shall not bring the same , or send competent portions thereof , according to this Our ▪ Proclamation , every Market-day weekly , into the publick open Markets , there to be sold at such rates as the Market shall afford ; And that they do advertise us the Lord Lieutenant and Council thereof with all convenient speed , that thereupon such proceedings may be had against such ill-affected persons as shall be according to Iustice , and the Laws of this Kingdom , which We shall take special care shall be strictly put in Execution against so great and evil Doers .
