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).

THe Lords of His Majesties Privy Council , taking to their serious consideration , that albeit by the infinit mercy of GOD , this Kingdom hath been hitherto preserved from the plague of Pestilence , which hath long continued at London , and broken out in many other Towns and Places of the Kingdom of England ; Yet the danger and fear of infection is as great as it hath been heretofore , by the resore of many People and Merchants to the City of London , and other Places suspected , for beginning Commerce and Trade , and adventuring to bring into this Kingdom all Commodities as formerly , albeit the Plague is not yet altogether ceased , and that all Goods and Merchandise to be imported from thence , may be yet justly suspected : And that Merchants and other Traffickers may conceive , that the Act and Proclamation of the twelfth of July last , whereby all Trade and Commerce betwixt this Kingdom and the City of London , and other suspected Places , was discharged till the first of November last , is now no more in force after the elapsing of the said first of November ; albeit by the said former Act and Proclamation , the said restraint and prohibition is not only laid on till the said first of November , but ay and while it should be expresly taken off by another Act and Proclamation . Therefore , that none pretend ignorance , they of new ratifie and approve the foresaid Act , in the whole Heads and Clauses thereof , and ordains all parties concerned to give full and exact obedience thereto , and declares the same to stand and be of full force , untill the first day of March next to come , in the year of GOD , one thousand six hundred and sixty six , and longer , ay and while the same be discharged : With certification , if any person whatsomever shall contraveen the same , they shall be lyable to the whole pains and penalties therein contained , to be inflicted without mercy . And ordains these presents to be printed , and published by Macers or Messengers at Armes , at the Mercat-cross of Edinburgh , Peer and Shoar of Lieth , Mercat-crosses of Dunce and Jedburgh , and other places needfull , that none pretend ignorance .
