To my very louing Brethren the Ministers, and to the Church-wardens, and Side-men, of euery Parish, and Precinct, within my Archdeaconry of London.

WHereas, for the greater honour, and worship of Gods holy Maiestie, it was anciently ordayned in the Church of England, that on Wednesdayes, and Frydayes weekely, the Ministers, and People, should assemble themselues, in their Parish Churches, there to offer their humble thankesgiuings, and Prayers, according to the forme prescribed in the Booke of common Prayer, established by the lawes of this Kingdome of England: And vpon iust complaint, of the great neglect of that religious ordinance, with humble desire of reformation therein; it hath pleased the right reuerend Father in God, my Lord Bishop of London, our Diocesan, to giue in charge vnto me, that (with all care) I do speedily endeauour that reformation, within my Archdeaconry, according to the lawes, and Canons, in that behalfe prouided. I therefore (according to his Lordships charge, imposed on me) do pray, and require you the Ministers, to giue publike warning, in your full Congregations, assembled in your Parish Churches, on the next ensuing Sunday, (with religious, and zealous exhortations to the same) that euery houshoulder of your Parishes, do duely from henceforth, come in person, or else send some, or one (at the least) of his Family, to your seuerall Parish Churches, there to ioyne with you, in thankesgiuings, and Prayers, to Almighty God, in that holy▪ and religious manner, commanded in the sayd Booke of common Prayer; And you the Church-wardens, and Side-men, or some of you, to bee alwaies present at those weekely divine exercises, whereby you may not onely giue good example to others, but also obserue those that bee negligent, and admonish them to do their duties therein; And that not preuailing with them, to present the transgressors vnto me, or my Officiall, who will (to Gods glory) vse the best meanes of our authority, in reducing the offenders vnto the performance of that Christian duty. And so (hartily desiring your due consideration of, and care in the premisses) I commend you to the grace of the Almighty. London, this Tenth day of December. An. Dom. 1627.

Your very louing brother, and frend▪ Tho: Paske.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

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 <gap>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).
