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).

THE KING OF SCOTLAND HIS Propositions to his Subjects of that Nation; and His Promise and Condescensions to the Desires of the PARLIAMENT.
SIR,

SInce the receipt of the intelligence from Ireland, of the fatall Blow there given to the Prince his Forces, the Court hath continually rung with sorrow, and his Highnesse is very sad and melancholy: Since which time, there hath been a great disputation held by his Privy Councell, whose result was, That new propositions should be sent to the Parl. of Scotland, viz. 1 That his declared Majesty would wive his assent, for the setling of Religion, according to the solemn League and Covenans.

2 That he would wholly apply his Ear to the Councell and Advice of the Estates conveened, provided, that respect might be had to the tender Consciences of those who have adhered to or assisted him.

But this will hardly be; for he must either become a perfect Covenanter, or else a despised Prince.

Many of the Royall party have caused proclamation to be made for Charles the II, for the raising of Voluntiers, but few appears in that engagement,

Hague 9. Augusti, 1649.

The newes is confirmed from Dublin, Ormond hath paid dear for his bowzing, Taff, Preston, and he being met together, thought they could destroy the Parl-power, by drinking healths to their destruction, when its in so many words a Bull, whereas Lieu. Gen. Jones came soberly upon them, and made them run several ways: It's said, that in their hast they fell upon Ballyshanon, have taken it, and are rallyed, being about twelve thousand within twelve miles of Dublin and fallen to their old way of disputing passes: which when lost, they run to the next: they increase by the coming of forces to them, and say, if they recover not their reputation before Michaelmas, they shal not keep Ireland from a totall reducement within a year.

The Scots-Resolution touching their King.

First, that prevailing party of Sectaries of England, who have broken the Covenant, and despised the Oath of God, corrupted the truth, subverted the fundamentall Government, by King and Parliament, and taken away the life, look upon us with an evill eye, as upon those who stand in the way of their monstrous and new-fingled devices, in Religion and Government, and though there were no cause to fear any thing for that party, but the Gangrene and infection of those many damnable and abominable errors, which have taken hold on them, yet our vicinity unto and dayly to commerce with that nation, may justly make us afraid that the Lord may give up many in this land unto a spirit of delusion, to beleeve lyes, because they have not received the love of truth.

Secondly, Neither is the Malignant party so far broken and brought low, as that they have abandoned all hopes of carrying on their former designes against the Covenant, and work of Reformation, besides many of them in this Kingdom who are as Foxes tyde in chaines, keeping in evill nature, and waiting opportunity to break their cords, and again to prey upon the Lords people. That the standing Armies in Ireland, under the command of the Marq. of Ormond, the Lord Inchiqueen, the Lord of Airds, and George Munroe, who forgetting the horrible cruelty that was exercised by the Irish and English Nations in that Land, have entred into a Peace and association with them, that they may the more easily carry on the old design of the Popish, Prelatical and Malignant party, and the Lord of Airds, and George Munroe, have by treachery and oppression, brought the Province of Ulster, and Garrisons therein, under their power and command, and have redacted our Country-men, and such as adhere unto the Covenant and cause of God in that Province unto many miseries and straits, and are like to banish the Ministers of the Gospell, and to overturn these fair beginnings of the worke of God, which were unto many a branch of hope, that the Lord meant to make Ireland a pleasant Land.

Thirdly, But which is more grievous unto us then all these, our King notwithstanding of the Lords hand, against his fathers opposition to the work of God, and bearing down all those in the three Kingdomes, by which it is come to passe, that his Majesty hath hitherto refused to grant the just and necessary desires of this Kirk and Kingdom, which were tendred unto him from the Commissioners of both for securing of Religion, the liberties of the Subject, his Mai Government, and the peace of the Kingdom; and it is much to be feared that those wicked Councellours may so far prevail upon him in his tender years, as to engage him in a War for ouerturning (if it be possible) of the Work of God, and bearing down all those in the three Kingdoms that adhere thereto, which if he shall do, cannot but bring great wrath from the Lord upon himself and his Throne, and must be the cause of many new and great miseries and calamities to these Lands.

And albeit the Lands be involved in many difficulties and compassed about with great and imminent dangers; yet • here is hope and ground of consolation concerning this thing; the Lord is in the midst of us, and we are called by his name, our ears hear the joyfull sound of the Gospell, add our eyes see our Teachers. We behold the arm of the Lord stretched out daily in working salvation for his people, and answering their desires upon their enemies, by terrible things in righteousnesse; although we be few in number, yet the Lord of Hosts is with us, and in the power of his strength we shall be able to prevaile; although our land be filled with sin, yet we have not been forsaken of the Lord our God, but he hath always had compassion upon us, and delivered us in all our distresse; although some of understanding fal, it is bot to try, and to purge, and to make white even to the end, because it is yet for a time appointed although many cleave to us by flatteries, yet there be a remnant w •• keep their integrity, and the Lord shall do good to those that be good; but such as turn aside to crooked ways, shall be led forth with the workers of iniquity.

The Lords people in England and Ireland, who adhere to the cause and covenant, may be perplexed, but shall not despair, they may be persecuted but shall not be forsaken; they may be cast down but shall not be destroyed; and although uniformity and the work of Reformation in these hands seem not only to be retarded, but almost pluckt up by the roots, and the foundation thereof razed; yet the seed which the Lord hath sowen there, shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward, the zeal of the Lord of Hosts shall perform this.

A. KER.
Right Honoured,

SInce the late blow given to the Marq. of Ormond by Lieut. Gen. Jones, we hear that they are re-bodying about Kilkenny and Munster, and that in the said Engagement thirteen thousand of the Princes forces escaped, who are gathering together, and randezvouzing in severall places; but the raising of the siege, and defeating that pote • power is joyfully rescented by many. We have received another express from thence, which intimates, that the D. of Lorraign hath landed 3000 horse in Ireland, and that a conjunction is designed by them with 7000 Scots under the Lord of Ards, 3000 Irish commanded by the Earle of Clanrickard, 7000 of the Spanish Faction commanded by Gen. Oneal, 1400 horse commanded by L. Incihiquin, and the 13000 of Ormonds that escaped at the last fight; all which (it is said) intend a Randezvouz neer Kilkenny, who being bodyed, will make an Army of 30000 and upwards, and may probably much indanger our friends in Dublin, if a considerable supply be not speedily sent over to them.

Bristol 12. August, 1649.

Yesterday came news, as if Dredagh were re-taken or delivered up by the Lord M • or, that Sir Charles Coot since his relief by his Brethren hath been abroad, disputed several passes with the enemy, and set the Besiegers at a further distance. The Lord of Ards (its said) hath likewise fallen upon Ge • erall Oneal, and after a sharp Conflict, killed many, took divers prisoners, and scattered the rest.
