❧A Proclamation signifying the Kings Maiesties pleasure, touching the resort of people to his Coronation.

FOrasmuch as wee finde that the Infection within our Citie of London doeth dayly increase, and is like (to our griefe) rather to augment then diminish, aswel by reason of the season of the yeere, as by the great Concourse of people to our sayd City against the time of our Coronation, some to do their dueties in such necessary seruices, as to them belongeth at that Solemnitie, and some for comfort they take in the sight of our Person, of the Queene our deare wife, and of our children; Although there could be no greater ioy to vs then the presence and confluence of all sorts of good Subiects at such a time, when the more there should be partakers of that publique reioycing, the more should bee our Particular comfort: yet such is our feare least this their resort should worke a contrary effect both to their and our expectation, namely to bee a meanes not onely of increasing the Infection within our Citie, but of dispersing[?] it into all places of this Realme, as wee had rather forbeare some part of our Ornament and Custome, which is due to the Honour and Solemnitie of our Coronation, then by hauing the vttermost thereof perfourmed, bee the occasion of so great an euill to our people, as is the spreading of the Infection amongst them,

Wherefore we haue thought it best to forbeare of that Solemnitie, whatsoeuer[?] is not Essentiall to it, and to deferre all shewe of State and Pompe accustomed by our Progenitors, which is not of necessitie to be done within the Church at the time of our Coronation, As also to omit our Solemne entry and passage through our Citie of London for this time, intending to performe the same hereafter in the Winter, when we shall perceiue our Citie to be free from sickenesse. And of this our purpose and of the causes thereof, we haue thought good to giue notice to all our Subiects by Proclamation, To the end that aswell those of our sayd City may forbeare to proceede in such Shewes and Ornaments, as we heare they out of their loue haue in hand to honour our sayd entry, As also all other people may abstaine from resorting to our sayd City at this time, other then such, as haue necessary Employment in that Solemnity, and chiefely about such parts thereof as are to be performed onely within the Church: whom also we require to bring with them no greater traine of seruants, then of necessitie they must vse each of them in his degree about their persons; Wherein they shall both prouide for their owne good, and giue vs great satisfaction in conforming themselues dutifully to this our Admonition.

Giuen at our Castle of Windsor, the sixt day of Iuly, 1603. in the first yeere of our Reigne of England, France and Ireland, and of Scotland, the sixe and thirtieth.

God saue the King.

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).
