An ACCOUNT OF Mr. Francis Charlton's Surrendring himself to the BISHOP of OXFORD, As also a Copy of the LETTER Sent by the Bishop to Madam Charlton, touching the same; dated the 2d of August, 1683.

ON Wednesday the 1st of August, 1683. As Mr. Francis Charlton was upon the Road coming to Oxford from the Western parts of England, one Mr. Herbert a Justice of the Peace of Oxfordshire meeting him on the Road, fancy'd he knew his Face, and riding up to him asked if his Name was not Mr. Charlton, which he not readily owning Mr. Herbert told him that was certainly his Name, and he being in the Kings Declaration he must carry him before a Justice of Peace, for tho himself was one, yet it was not proper for him to take his Examination. Then Mr. Charlton owning his Name told Mr. Herbert that he was going to Surrender himself to the Bishop of Oxford, to which Mr. Herbert answered that he must give him leave to wait upon him thither, which Mr. Charlton agreeing to, they went together to his Lordship the Bishop of Oxford, where being come Mr. Herbert gave his Lordship an Account [Page] of what passed upon the Road as aforesaid: And Mr. Charlton acquainted his Lordship of his intention of Surrendring himself to his Lordship. Then Mr. Herbert taking his leave of his Lordship left Mr. Charlton in his Lordships custody. The same Night his Lordship sent the Letter annex'd to Mr. Charlton's Lady in London, as also another Letter to Mr. Secretary Jenkins, and upon his Lordship recieving an answer from Mr. Secretary, Mr. Charlton was brought Guarded on Saturday to Windsor, and on the same day he was brought to London.

A Copy of the Bishops of Oxfords LETTER to Mrs. Charlton, August the 2d 1683.

Madam,

YOUR Husband Mr. Charlton, having for some time withdrawn himself, came hither Yesterday, and desird me to signify to the Secretary Sir Leoline Jenkins, that he had put himself into my hands; which accordingly I have done. Mr. Charlton being apprehensive what reports may be spread, and of the trouble that might be occasioned thereby, desired me to give you this plain Account and to assure you of his Health and Confidence in his Innocence. He does farther desire you not to be angry with his Son that he did not signify these Intentions to you beforehand, he being Oblig'd by absolute Command to the contrary. Indeed I think this course which oury Husband has taken, is so much to his Reputation that I can not think it matter of trouble to your self, or any of your, or his Friends. I remain.

Madam,

Your most Humble Servant, Jo. Oxon.

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).
