Huntington Library and Art Gallery. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).

WHereas vpon the returne of Sir Thomas Dale Knight , ( Marshall of VIRGINIA ) the Treasurer , Councell , and Company of the same , haue beene throughly informed and assured of the good estate of that Colony , and how by the blessing of God and good gouernment , there is great plentie and increase of Corne , Cattell , Goates , Swine , and such other prouisions , necessary for the life and sustenance of man ; And that there wants nothing for the setling of that Christian Plantation , but more hands to gather and returne those commodities which may bring profit to the Aduenturers , and encouragement to others : And whereas therevpon the Company hath giuen a Commission to Captaine Samuel Argol to be the present Gouernour of that Colonie , who hath vndertaken to transport and carry thither a certaine number of men , vpon his owne charge , and the charge of other his friends that ioyne with him in that Voyage ; in which , diuers men of good qualitie haue resolued to aduenture , and to goe thither themselues in person , and to carry with them their Wiues , their Children and their Families , whereby in short time ( by the fauour and assistance of Almighty God ) that good worke may be brought to good perfection , by the diuision and setting out of lands to euery particular person , the setling of trade , and returne of Commodities to the contentment and satisfaction of all well affected Subiects , which eyther loue the aduancement of Religion , or the honour and welfare of this Kingdome : Wee his Maiesties Treasurer , Councell , and Company for the same Plantation , haue thought good to declare and make knowne to all men by these presents , that wee haue resolued to giue free leaue and license to any who are now remaining in VIRGINIA , at his will and pleasure to returne home into England , which liberty wee doe likewise grant and confirme vnto all those which hereafter from time to time shall goe thither in person , without any other restraint , then to aske leaue of the Gouernour ( for the time being ) to depart . And therefore if any man be disposed to send any supply to his friends there , or to send for any of his friends from thence , he may hereby take notice , that he hath full power and meanes to doe eyther of them at his good descretion . God saue the King.
