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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

¶ By the King. ¶ A Proclamation commanding the due execution of two Statutes againſt falſifying of Wooll, and woollen Yarne, for the better maintenance of clothing.

HAuing taken into Our princely care & conſideration, the maintenance and increaſe of the clothing of this our Kingdome, as the principall natiue commodity therof, whereunto there are principally incident two cōſiderations: The one of the manufactures depending thereupon: and the other of the materials of wooll & woollen yarne, out of which the cloath is made and wrought: And being informed of the great and intollerable abuſes of the Broggers, Foreſtallers & Ingroſſers of wool, which partlie by neglect, & partly by color of licence haue not onlie bene cauſe of the high prices & dearth of Woolls, to the decay and diſcouragement of the Clothier, but alſo by their ſundrie falcifications and corruptions in the mixtures of the ſaid Wools, doe daylie both deceiue the Clotheir in that he buyes, and diſable him to make his Cloth of that true and perfect making which he ought: Againſt which inconueniences there haue bene principally deuiſed and enacted two Statutes: The one in the eight yeare of the reigne of King Henrie the ſixt, the fift Chapter; and the other in the fift and ſixt years of King Edward the ſixt, intituled an Act limiting the times for buying and ſelling of Wools. Wee therefore out of Our Royall zeale to the common good of Our people, do by this Our Proclamation by the aduice of Our Priuie Council, publiſh and declare, and ſtraightly charge and command, aſwell our Treaſurer of England, Chancellor of our Exchequer, & all other our Iudges, Barons of our Exchequer, our Attorney general, Our Iuſtices, Officers, and Miniſters, according to the ſeuerall dueties of thier places, reſpectiuely: as alſo all Our ſubjects in generall, to vſe their beſt care and diligence, that the ſaid Statutes before mentioned, be duelie kept & obſerued, & diligently and carefullie proſecuted and put in execution, vpon paine, not only of the penalties and forfeitures in the ſaid Statutes conteined, but alſo of our high indignation, and ſuch proſecution and cenſure as ſhall be fitt.

Giuen at Our Mannor at Greenewich, the xxxi. day of May, in the thirteenth yeare of Our Raigne of England, France and Ireland, and of Scotland the 48. God ſaue the King.
