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).

❧ By the King.

WHere vpon our firſt comming to the ſucceſſion of this Kingdome, at the ſute of diuers perſons, who had or pretended to haue from the Queene of famous memory our Siſter deceaſed, Commiſſions as annexed of courſe to ſeuerall offices which they helde, for the taking vp of Hounds, Greyhounds, Spaniels, and Dogges of other ſorts accuſtomed for Venerie, Faulconry or other ſports of Princes, We did renew vnto them their ſaid Commiſſions, and grant the like to ſome others who had no offices, vpon diuers ſuggeſtions made vnto vs, which Commiſſions wee haue ſince beene informed from diuers partes of our Realme, that inferiour Officers who haue bene truſted with them, haue abuſed and do dayly abuſe, contrary to the meaning of the ſame, which was to bee executed no further forth then the neceſſity of our ſeruice ſhould require: And foraſmuch alſo as we haue had good proofe that Gentlemen and others, who delight in the like paſtime of hunting and hanking, haue and will be ready at all times of their owne good will and reſpect to our recreations, to furniſh vs of ſufficient number of Dogges of all ſorts, which wee ſhall haue cauſe to vſe, when they ſhall be informed that we haue need of them:

Wee haue therefore found it vnneceſſary to continue the execution of any our Commiſſions heretofore giuen for that purpoſe, And doe hereby notifie the ſame to all our Subiects, and expreſſely charge and command all thoſe, who haue any ſuch Commiſſions or Warrants from vs vnder our great Scale, or any other our Scales, that they doe not onely forbeare to put the ſame in execution from henceforth, but alſo do bring in and deliuer vp the ſayd Commiſſions and Warrants, into our Chancerie, or any other Office, where they haue bene ſealed, within the ſpace of Twentie dayes after the publiſhing hereof, as they will anſwere the contrary at their perill. Willing alſo and commanding our Attourney generall, and all other of our Counſell learned, that whenſoeuer they ſhall receiue information, that any perſon, who hath had ſuch Commiſſion from vs, ſhall after the time aboue limitted execute the ſame, that they doe proſecute their offence therein as in caſe of contempt by all ſuch wayes and meanes, as in like caſe is vſuall.

Giuen at our Honour of Hampton Court, the xxvij. day of September, 1605. in the third yeere of our Reigne of Great Britaine, France and Ireland. God ſaue the King.
