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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

July 18. 1648. by the Citty printer. By the Commons aſſembled in Parliament.

IN the whole management of the late Warr, unto which the Parliament was neceſſitated on the Kingdoms behalf for recovering and ſecuring their Religion, Lawes, and native Liberties invaded by the enemies thereof; the great wiſdom, mercy, and power of God from time to time appeared in giving to their Forces many great and ſeaſonable victories, (as pledges of his love in owning their Cauſe) untill the whole power and force of thoſe enemies were broken in pieces, and a hopefull door opened for the ſettlement of a wel-grounded and laſting Peace; But the ſame common Enemy by ſecret contrivances ſeverall ways, obſtructed the Parliaments progreſs therein, ſeducing the affections of the people, inſtigating them to a generall Inſurrection; and under pretence of petitioning for Peace, ſubtily promoting a new and bloody Warr; by whoſe wicked practiſes, the Cauſe of God and the Kingdom is endangered, and utter ruine threatned to thoſe perſons that yet own and ſtand firm to their firſt principles, and earneſtly thirſt after the accompliſhment of that deſirable work of Reformation in Church and Common-wealth, when many men are ſtarted aſide therefrom, and encourage that generall Confuſion endevoured by the enemies of Peace and Truth; And we have juſt cauſe to ſay, If the Lord had not been on our ſide when men roſe up againſt us, they had ſwallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled againſt us; yea, bleſſed be the Lord, mighty in Councels and power, who hath not yet given us as a prey unto their teeth, but by weak means hath wrought great Salvations for his people, by many Signall victories over them lately obtained by the Parliament Forces in ſeverall parts of the Kingdom; the which it is our duty briefly to recount before the people, that their hearts may be enlarged with thankfulneſs, and the Lord of Hoſts receive therefore his due honour and praiſe.

Firſt, That great defeat given to the Enemies forces in Wales under Laughorn, and the reducing of Chepſtow, and other Gariſons there; as alſo the reducing of Appleby Caſtle, Brougham, and other places of ſtrength in the North; and Walmer Caſtle in Kent.

Secondly, That ſeaſonable mercy and ſucceſs in Northwales againſt Sir John Owen; the gaining of Maidſton in Kent after Four hours hot diſpute, a place of very great concernment to the Rebels; in which ſervice of the Generall, had it miſcarried, in all probability, and as it appeared by ſeverall Letters then taken, the ill affected perſons in and about the City of London, and Counties adjacent, had, as one man riſen and engaged in the ſame Rebellion, to the endangering and ruine of the Parliament, City and Kingdom, which ſucceſs did allay the diſtempers then very high in ſome neighbouring Counties, raiſed through the falſe ſuggeſtions of the Enemies to their peace.

Thirdly, The ſurpriſall of about 600. Horſe belonging to Langdale, and many perſons, ſome of quality, by the Forces under Colonell Fenwi • k and Colonell Lilborne; and that without the loſs of any blood on either ſide.

Fourthly, The utter routing of the Pomfret-horſe, and ſome Foot at Willoughby in Nottingham-ſhire, after a very ſharp encounter, by the new raiſed Forces under Colonell Edward Roſſiter, the Enemies Forces conſiſting moſt of Gentlemen, Officers and Reformadoes; of the Enemie, about 100 ſlain, their Generall, Lievtenant Generall, and Major Generall, and many other Gent. Officers, and Souldiers taken, and the number of 500. private Souldiers, beſides their Colours, Armes and Ammunition, and Carriages taken: And the wonderfull Mercy of delivering the Citie of Norwich and the wel affected there from imminent and apparent ruine.

Fifthly, The diſſipating the Forces gathered together under the Earl of Holland, Duke of Buckingham, Earl of Peterborough, and other men of quality; ſo that in leſs then a week the places of their ſtanding in Rebellion was not to be found; who otherwiſe (had not God given a ſodain check to their reſolutions and hopes) might have proved very prejudiciall to the peace of the Kingdom.

Sixthly, The ſeaſonable reducing of Pembrook both Town and Caſtle, after a hard ſiege, upon honorable termes to the Parliament the 10. of July laſt; whereby the Parliament Forces (engaged there) are at liberty to March Northward for to joyn with the other Forces of the Parliament, for the preſervation of the peace of the Kingdom upon all occaſions.

Read 18. July, 1648. and upon the Queſtion aſſented unto, and Ordered to be forthwith Printed and publiſhed; And that the Lord Major be deſired to communicate the ſame to the reſpective Miniſters within the late Lines of Communication, and Pariſhes within the weekly Bills of Mortality.
