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 DECLARATION AND Reſolution of the Emperor of Germany, touching the King of Scots; and the Debates and Proceedings of the Chriſtian Princes, Dukes, Marqueſſes, Earls, Lords, Noblemen, and Agents, at the great Meeting at Regensburgh: With Their Anſwer unto His Meſſage, for Supplies againſt England.

HIs Imperial Majeſty the Emperor of Germany having received a meſſage from the King of Scots for a ſupply of men and money communicated the ſame to the General Aſſembly, conſiſting of the chief Princes, Dukes, Marqueſſes, and Nobles in Europe, who after ſeveral Debates upon the Propoſitions preſented by the Lord Wilmot, returned Anſwer, That no moneyes could be raiſed, for that their preſent condition was ſuch, being brought very low by the late warres, they were not in any capacity to a •• iſt their friends, neither with men and moneyes, the preſent exigency of their own Affairs requiring timely and ſpeedy preventions of future Inſurrections and Commotions; yet ſo far would they condeſcend, That at his own Charges they would give liberty to raiſe a number of men, if deſired.

The like Anſwer is returned by the King of Denmark to the Lord Wentworth; who having repreſented theſe ſad Tydings, by way of Aviſo, to His young Maſter, his Majeſty of France was earneſtly ſolicited to ſupply his great wants and diſtreſſed condition with a conſiderable ſum of money, and other Utenſils of war, &c. But Cardinal Mazarine declared, That it was no wayes feaſible for the Crown of France, to be aiding or aſſiſting him in the leaſt, during their preſent Diſtractions and Commotions; for that it might prove a Deſign very pernicious and deſtructive to the great work in hand, by reaſon that the enemy were very potent, and his Maj ſtie not in a condition at preſent to fight them. For indeed certain it is, that Conde is chief Maſter of the Field, and that he hath beſieged the famous City and impregnable Gariſon of Roeroy, and that he is likely to carry it, by reaſon that General Turene dareth not give him battel, being far more n •• erous then the Kings party, and conſiſts chiefly of old forces, bravely reſolved, and well diſciplin'd. And ſeveral Challenges hath his Highneſs ſent to the Kings General, daring him to an Engagement; but refuſing to anſwer him, the ſaid Prince ſent word by a Trumpeter, That ſeeing he would not come out of his Trenches to fight that before it was long he would ſee him in the Plain of Saint Denis neer Paris, where he doubted not but to be with his Army very ſuddenly, conſiſting of 27 reſolved horſe and foot, no wayes inferiour to the valiant and approved Engliſh Red-coat.

To which Gen: Turene replyed, That it might eaſily be diſcerned, by his high and lofty language, with what people he had lived, and held correſpondence of late dayes. But the Duke of York, ſo called by the Monſieurs, not being ſatisfied herewith, returned this Anſwer, That for the prevention of further effuſion of blood, he deſired that they two might diſpute the Quarrel; but not permitted.

A Letter from Holland. SIR,

THe Engliſh fleet, by reaſon of the foul weather, are gone off this Coaſt, and Dewit taking an opportunity thereby, ſailed out of the Texel with ſixty men of War to convoy their Fleet into the Eaſt Countrey, and to endeavor getting home the Eaſt India ſhips, who ſtill remain at Copenhagen. We hear that young Vantrump is before Leghorn with the Bonadventure and ſeven men of War, and that he hath blocked up Mr. Elger an Engliſh Merchant. Since which time; it is advertiſed, that divers others are joyned with him, ſo Report makes him 35 ſayl, and that he intends to divide into two Squadrons, the one to ply at Leghorn; the other, up to Barcelona; ſo that keeping in the Trade way it is very difficult for any ſhipping either to paſs up and down the Straights; yet we do not hear of any more then one Engliſh ſhip takën of late, which was purchaſed at a dear rate; for ſhe fought it out to the laſt man, and buried within the curled Ocean above 200 men before ſhe was taken.

But our Letters from Malaga the 7 dito adviſe, that the ſhip called the African was ſafely arrived there; notwithſtanding, in her way, ſhe met with a whole ſquadron of the Hollanders; but it pleaſed God ſhe brake through them all, and ſafely arrived at her wiſhed for Harbor, though ſhe received above 100 ſhot in her ſayles and tacklings, and yet not one man either killed or wounded.

Bril Septemb. 10. 1653.

We have received dvertiſements, That part of the Engliſh Fleet are attending the motion of Dewit, and that the reſt are deſigned upon another excellent Atchievement. Withall, that 35 Prizes are brought into Yarmouth, Alesborough, and Harwich Roads, luſty Veſſels, but their lading not ſo conſiderable, being for the moſt part laden with Salt, French wines, Brandies, and ſome Vinegar, all homeward bound from Nantes and Rochel.

From whence, we hear, that there hath been a very great Earthquake in Natolia, where a Mountain had over-whelmed a whole Town, to the loſs of much Treaſure, and above ten thouſand perſons were buried in that heap of Earth, to the great aſtoniſhment of many hundreds in thoſe parts.

FINIS.
