THE DISCOVERY Of a Plot by some of the Anti-Covenanters in Scotland, and sent to M. Pym in a Letter, Octob. 14 1641.

SIR, things were lately in a very hopefull way of Accommodation. But on Monday night last, there fell out a great interruption, for upon information given to Marquise Hamilton, the EARLE of Argile, and the Earle of Lanericke, that there was a designe to seize upon their persons that night, they removed presently from their Lodgings, and stayd in the City all night, and the next morning, the Relation being [Page] made to the Parliament, there was present order given for the shutting of the Ports, and setting of the Guards of the Towne, which continue so still, and the same day, the Marquesse Hamilton, the Earle of Argile, and the Earle of Lanericke, departed hence to a house of the Marquesses, about 12-miles of, where they continue still.

The Depositions of one Captaine Stewards and the Lievtenant Colonell Hurry, and Hume were read upon Tuseday in full Parliament; The King being present, and upon the reading whereof, the Parliament thought fit to restraine the Earle of Craford, Col Stewart; and Col. Cockron, who are not yet examined, Before this Conspiracy fell out wee had the Treaty delivered unto us, under the great Seale of Scotland, and that which remained of our businesse, being to get the two Regiments disbanded, and their workes sleighted, to perfect an accompt betwene the King and some Inhabitants of New-Castle and the Scots, about some Armes which was taken away in their late troubles, and the assisting of some English in their Demands, of the reparations (of losses, which they sustained by the Scottish army) were put into such a way, as we expected to have seene them all at an Issue presently. But this plot hath put not onely ours, but all other businesses to a stand, and may be an occasion of many and great troubles in this Kingdome, [Page] if Almighty God in his mercy doe not prevent it, which being an accident of such great moment (as well to prevent as farre as in us lyes) the many inconveniences that may arise by false reports, as also in discharge of the trust reposed in us, we thought fit to send you timely advertisement of it, and we shall give you a more full accompt, when by examination it shall be further discovered.

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).
