CHARLES by the grace of GOD, King of great Britaine, France and Ireland: Defender of the Faith &c.

To Our Loveds [...] Messingers Our shirreffs in that part conjunctly and severally specially constitute greeting,

Forsamekle as Wee beeing resolved to proceed in the matters reffered to US by the Submissions concerning the few fearmes and few meales of Erections, Teynds of other mens Lands, rate and ease of the same and pryce thereof, and others mentioned in the said Submissions, with that aequitie Justice and indifferencie to particulate persouns, and care and respect to the publicke good and ease of our Subjects, as might manifest Our royall care and Fatherly affection to satle and establish the peace and tranquillitie of this Our ancient Kingdome with common and publicke applause and congratulation of all Our good Subjects. WEE were pleased to call to Vs an [...]e number of our Nobilitie Privie Counsell and others able expert and well [...]ffected to giue their advice to VS in a matter of so great importance. With whom We having at length conferred and [...]eceive their advise and opinions both privatly and publickly We finde the matter of so great weight and consequence and to concerne so nearely the private estate of the most part of our Subjects in particular, and the publicke good of this Our ancient Kingdome in generall. That it deserves and merites Our serious consideration, and greater leasure and time than the present effaires will permite Vs: And therefore Wee have resolved to prorogate like as Wee haue prorogate the said submissions and every one of them to the last day of December 1629 yeeres. And intends in the meane time as God shall giue vs the oc [...]asion, to give out Our royall determination in the said whole matters referred to VS by the said submissions, And because in the conference had be Vs with such of the Nobilitie Privie Counsell and Gentry who are with vs: It is condescended with vniforme consent of all, that Our Annuitie shall take beginning in this instant yeere of God 1628 yeares. And that the same cannot bee vplifred vntill the Valuations of each persons Lands end constant rent thereof in Stocke and teynd bee first determined by the Commissioners nominat bee Vs for the surrendars. Therefore, and for the greater expedition of the said Valuations It is thought fit and expedient that the Commissioners to whome power is granted be the generall Commission, shall direct particulare commissions and warrands to such particulare persons in every shirefdome Paroshine or other boundes and circuites of this Our Kingdome as the said Commissioners shall thinke fitte. With power to them to take tryall by all wayes and meanes aggreable to the Lawes of this our Kingdome, or to bee sette downe in ther severall Commissions anent the Valuations of the true Teynds of the Lands within the boundes of their Commission, and what they are worth in constant rent of Stocke and Teynd. And to call and cite partyes having interesse to such particulare dyats as they shall thinke fitte, and to report their proceedings to the said generall Commissioners, Reserving alwayes to the parties greeved liberty to appeale from the said particular commissions to the generall. And suchlike because it is provided in the said generall Submissions, that such of the Lords of Erections or others hauing right from them, as haue laices lawfully set before the date of their Erections, or absolute warrandice of the same against their Authores, shall receiue full and plenarie satisfaction for their said laices and warrandice, And that also the particulare satisfaction to bee given to every one of the said Lords of Erections cannot bee determined without the knowledge and tryall of the just and true Rentall of the said few meales and few fearmes. Therfore it is our pleasure likeas we have given direction to cause the said Lords of erections and others having right as said is, to exhibite and produce to Our Advocate their said laces and rights and securities containing warrandice, at such dayes and times as the Commissioners forsaid shall appoynt to them. With certification to them that failyies, that they shall not bee heard to claime any satisfaction for the same heereafter. And suchlike Wee have given direction to our Commissioners to take speciall tryall of the just Rentalls and quantity of the said few fearmes and few mealles, and what part thereof is presently bruiked by the Lords of Erection, and what part by pensioners or liverentars, and what will remaine free of the same deducing the blenshe dueties payed to Vs. And sickelike it is our will and pleasure that so soone as the said Commissioners haue finished the Valuarion of the Teyndes of like parishone, That immediat [...]ly thereafter they proceed to the consideration of the Ministers stipends and maintainance and establishing of schooles hospitals and others pious vses, where the same may bee had according the tennour of their Commission and Acts of the same past therevpon.

OUR WILL IS herefore, and Wee charge you straitly and commands that incontinent these Our letters seene, Ye passe and in our Name and authoritie make publication heereof by open Proclamation to the market croce of Our burgh of Edinburgh, and others places needfull, And that Wee and Our Comissioners intend to proceed according to the grounds particularly aboue-exprest, wherethrow nane pretend ignorance of the same. The which to doe, Wee commit to you conjunctly and severally Our full power by these Our Letters delyvering the same by you duely execute and indorsed againe to the bearer.

Giuen vnder Our Signet at Haly-rud-house the sixteene daye of Iulij and of our raigne the fourth yeare. 1628.

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).
