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).

¶ A proclamacion ſet furth by the Kinges Maīeſtie with the aduiſe of his highnes moſt honorable counſail, for the ſhortening of a day, limited in another proclamation, concerning the abacing of the value of Shilinges and Grotes.

WHereas the Kinges maieſtie, very lately by proclamation did ordeine vpon diuers great and profitable conſiderations that the pece of ſiluer coine, called the ſhilling, ſhoulde after the laſt day of Auguſt next, be currant for. ix. d. and not aboue, and the peece of ſiluer coine called the grote, ſhould likewiſe after the ſame day be currant for. iii, d. and not aboue: His maieſtie now vnderſtandeth, vpon the aduertiſement of his priuie Counſaill, that although his meaning was muche fauourable to his people, in the ſetting ſo long a daye, not minding that the ſodynes therof ſhould be ouer greuous: Yet neuertheleſſe, the couetouſnes of certeine kinde of people, is ſo inſatiable, that by the craft vſed in this behalf, the goodnes of his maieſty towardes his people, is muche abuſed, by the exceſſiue raiſing of the prices of victual and other thinges, in the handes of Graſters, great Fermours, Merchauntes and ſuche like, that it appeareth now very nedefull, to ſhorten the former day. Wherefore his maieſtie, with the good aduiſe of the Lordes, and others of his priuey counſail, doth ordeine, determine and publiſh, his moſt royal pleaſor to be, that the ſaid peece of ſiluer coine, named the ſhilling, ſhall at and immediately, after this preſent proclamation publiſhed, be curtaunt, paide and receaued but onely for. ix. d. and not aboue. And likewiſe, the peece of ſiluer called the grote, ſhal at and immediately after this proclamation publiſhed, be curtaunt, paide and receaued, for iii. d. and not aboue: Willing and ſtraightly commaunding all maner of perſones, ſo to receaue and pay the ſame, neither for more nor leſſe, vpon like peines conteined in the former proclamation, any thing in the ſaied former proclamation notwithſtanding.

At Grenewiche the of Iune. The fift yere of the reigne of the kinges maieſtie. God ſaue the King.
