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 For the keeping of Markets to ſupply the City of London with Proviſions, and alſo for prevention of Alarms and Tumults, and for appointing the Meeting of Merchants. CHARLES R.

WHereas moſt of the places wherein Markets were kept in our City of London are deſtroyed by the late fire, We are deſirous, That Our loving Subjects may nevertheleſs be furniſhed with a conſtant Supply of Proviſions, as well as the preſent Exigency will permit: It is therefore Our will and pleaſure, That Markets be kept and held within and without Biſhops-gate, at Towerhill, and Smithfield every day of the week, and alſo continued in Leaden-hall-ſtreet upon the daies wherein they have been accuſtomed to be held. Requiring all perſons whom it may concern, duely and conſtantly to reſort unto the places, and at the times above mentioned, We having taken care to ſecure the ſaid Markets in ſafety, and prevent all diſturbances by refuſal of payment for their Goods, or otherwiſe. And We do further charge and command all Mayors, Sheriffs, Iuſtices of the Peace, and other Our Officers and Miniſters within the Counties from whence Proviſions are or have been uſually brought to Our ſaid City of London, to take notice of this Our Will and pleaſure, and to uſe their utmoſt diligence and Authority to ſee the ſame performed accordingly.

And whereas through the temerity and unadviſedneſs of ſome perſons, groundleſs fears and apprehenſions have been and may be caſt into the minds of our people, to prevent all Tumults and Diſorders which may thereby or otherwiſe ariſe, it is Our Will and pleaſure, That upon any Alarm raiſed or taken, no man ſtir or diſquiet himſelf by reaſon thereof, but only attend the buſineſs of quenching the fire, We having in our Princely Care taken order to draw together ſuch a ſufficient force both of Horſe and Foot in and about Our ſaid City, as may abundantly ſecure the peace and ſafety thereof, and prevent or repreſs any Attemps whatſoever that can be made to diſturbe the ſame.

And whereas the Royal Exchange is demoliſhed and burned down by the late fire, It is Our pleaſure, that Greſham Colledge in Biſhops-gate ſtreet be for the preſent the place for the uſual meeting and aſſembling of Merchants in the ſame manner as heretofore the Exchange was.

Given at Our Court at Whitehall the ſixth day of September 1666. in the Eighteenth year of Our Reign. God ſave the KING.
