By the King.

CHARLES R.

WHereas by Our late Proclamation of the Seventh of September last, for calling in all Moneys, Gold and Silver, Coyned or Stamped with the Cross and Harp, and the Circumscription, The Commonwealth of England, and for making the same to be currant onely to the First of this instant December, and no longer; We did publish and declare Our Royal Will and Pleasure, That from and after the last day of November then next ensuing, no Moneys whatsoever, either of Gold or Silver, having the Stamps aforesaid, should at any time be received, allowed, or taken as currant Money, nor should the same be used in any Receipt or Payment whatsoever, but should from thenceforth cease to be lawful Money of England, to all intents and purposes whatsoever. We taking the Premisses into Our serious consideration, and choosing rather to take the loss and prejudice upon Our Self, which shall happen by reason of the said Moneys so Coyned and stamped as aforesaid, then that any of Our Loving Subjects should be prejudiced or losers thereby; and to the end the same may remain within Our Kingdom, and not be transported to Foreign parts, have thought fit to publish and declare, and hereby (by and with the Advice of Our Privy Council) do publish and declare, That no part of the said Moneys so Coyned and Stampt as aforesaid, shall continue currant, or be paid, or payable to, or betweén all or any of Our Subjects. But nevertheless, that it shall and may be lawful, to, and for any person or persons whatsoever, which at any time or times before the First day of May now next coming, shall pay or deliver any Sum or Sums of Money, to, or for the use of Vs, Our Heirs and Successors, for, or in respect of the free and voluntary Present, or any Rent, Custom, Excise, Tax, or any other Duties whatsoever, to pay, send, or deliver, or cause to be paid, sent, or delivered the same, or so much thereof, as they shall think fit, in the said Moneys so Coyned and Stamped as aforesaid, into any of Our Publick Receipts, where the same shall be received as any other Moneys that are currant within this Our Realm, may or ought to be received or taken; and that from and after the said First day of May now next coming, the same shall not be currant, nor be any ways paid or payable to Vs, Our Heirs or Successors, or to any other person or persons whatsoever. And Our further Will and Pleasure is, and We do hereby direct and appoint, all and every Our Commissioners, Collectors, or Receivers of the several Duties aforesaid; and also all and every Our Officers and Ministers of Our Exchequer, and of the Receipt there, for the time being; and all others whom the same shall concern, Not to refuse, but to receive such of the said Moneys, as shall from time to time be tendered or paid to them, or any of them, within the time, or for any the Duties or Payments aforesaid, in such manner as any other Moneys that are currant within this Our Realm, may or ought to be received. And that upon the Receipt of any considerable sum thereof, they do from time to time acquaint Our High Treasurer, and Chancellor of Our Exchequer therewith; to the end, that such speedy direction may be given for new Coyning thereof, as shall be thought fit, We being willing for the ease of Our Subjects, to take the charge of the Coynage thereof upon Our Self. And We do hereby further publish and declare, That if any person or persons, during the time aforesaid, shall presume to Wash, Clip, File Counterfeit, or otherwise abuse any the said Moneys so Coyned and Stamped as aforesaid, That then all and every such Offenders shall be proceeded against according to the Laws and Statutes of this Our Realm.

Given at Our Court at Whitehal the Seventh day of December, in the Thirteenth year of Our Reign. 1661.

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).
