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. ¶ A Proclamation againſt the vttering of light Spaniſh Siluer Coine.

WHereas the Spaniſh Siluer Moneyes (which heretofore were good and of full waight, and went in payments by toleration without preiudice, or rather to the benefite of Trade within this Realme,) are now of late in a maner generally ſo clipped and impaired, That in the payment thereof, the loſſe is moſt commonly (to the Receiuer) no leſſe then a full third part; And whereas there is dayly brought from forraine Countreis into diuers parts of this Kingdome, an exceeding great quantitie of the ſaid light Spaniſh Moneyes, by reaſon that the gaine thereupon is ſo exceſſiue; which Moneyes (being here mixed amongſt his Maieſties proper Coyne,) are paſſed away at the very full value that they were to beare, if they were not defectiue as aforeſaid: which abuſe doeth ſo farre impoueriſh the Receiuers, (being, for the moſt part, of the poorer ſort,) and doeth breed ſuch a generall contention, and diſturbance betwixt the Buyer and Seller, and the Creditour and Debtour, as (if the ſame ſhould be long endured) it would breed an intollerable inconuenience. His Maieſtie therefore being ſenſible of the leaſt grieuance of His louing Subiects, much more of a caſe ſo much concerning their good, and His owne Honour, Doeth by theſe preſents ſtraitly forbid and prohibite, that any Spaniſh Moneyes of Siluer that are clipped, or otherwiſe abated of their true and originall Values, ſhall be vttered and payed, or accepted and receiued by way of payment within any His Maieſties Dominions, vpon paine of Fine, and impriſonment to be inflicted and adiudged by His Highneſſe Court of Star-chamber, or otherwiſe courſe of Law. And doeth further command, That ſuch defectiue Spaniſh Moneys be with all conuenient expedition brought into his Highneſſe Mint in the Lower of London, to be coyned of new into currant Moneyes of this Realme, where the Owners ſhall receiue preſent payment for ſame, according to their true waight and values in Bullion.

Giuen at our Palace of Weſtminſter the twentieth day of May, in the eleuenth yeere of Our Reigne of Great Britaine, France, and Ireland. God ſaue the King.
