A PROCLAMATION.

WHeras by the death of Our late Soveraign Lord King CHARLS, of Blessed Memory, the Imperial Crowns of England, Scotland, France and Ireland did then immediately, solely and rightfully by inherent Birth-right, and lawfull and undoubted Succession, descend and come to his Most Excellent Majestie, Charls the Second, as being Lineally, Iustly, and Lawfully next Heir of the Bloud-Royal of these Realms; and although it can no way be doubted, but that his Majesties Right and Title to his Crowns and Kingdoms, was, and is every way compleated by the Death of his most Royal Father of Glorious Memory, without the Ceremony or Solemnity of a Proclamation: Yet seeing Proclamations in such Cases have been always used, to the end all good Subjects might upon such occasions testifie their Duty and Respect; And considering that the armed Violence, and other Calamities of many Years last past, have hitherto deprived us of any such Opportunity, wherein VVe might Express Our Loyalty and Allegiance to his Majestie: VVe therefore the General Convention of Ireland, together with the Lords Commissioners for Government and Management of the affairs in Ireland, and the Commissioners for Government of the Armie, and divers of the Nobility of this Kingdom now present, and the Mayor, Aldermen, Sherives and Commons of the City of Dublin, and the Officers and Souldiers of the Army in and about the said City, and other Freemen of this Kingdom now present, do according unto our Duty and Allegiance, heartily, joyfully and unanimously acknowledg, publish, declare and Proclaim, That the said high and mighty Prince Charls the Second, immediately from and after the death of his said Royal Father of happy Memory, was and is become our onely, Lawfull, Lineal, and Rightfull liege Lord, CHARLES by the Grace of God the most Potent, Mighty and Vndoubted King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith &c: To whom VVe do acknowledg all Faith and constant Obedience with all hearty and humble Affections, and to whom VVe do most faithfully and humbly Submit and Oblige Our selves, Our heirs and posterities for Ever: beseeching God by whom Kings do reign to bless his Royal Majesty with long and happy years to Reign over us.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).
