Io-Burlase.

WHereas We the Lords̄ Iustices and Councell upon the Proposition, and the humble suit of the Maior, Aldermen, and Citizens of the City of Dublin, have consented and given directions, that Fortification should be immediately made about this City, and the Suburbs thereof, for the safety and the conservation of the said Citie and Suburbs, and his Majesties loyall Subjects therein.

And for that it is requisite and reasonable, that all those that are involved in a common danger, should ingage their persons and contribute some part of their Estates in a common defence, and for that it is necessary that workes of that nature and consequence be effected with all expedition. We do therefore in his Majesties name require and command all and every person and persons of what quality or condition soeuer, as well Citizens as Souldiers, and others, from the age of seventeen yeares and upwards, now dwelling, inhabiting, and residing within this City, or Suburbs thereof, within twelve houres after Publication hereof, to give their personall Assistances and Attendance (with all such shovels, spades, spittles, pick-axes, and other instruments and engines fitting for that worke, as they have, or can procure) to such Officers and Engineers, and other persons as are, or shall be imployed by Authority, for raising and making the said Fortification, and to performe such labour and duties therein, as the said Officers, Enginieers, and persons imployed, shall direct; and to continue in the said service, untill the worke be fully perfected. And if any such person or persons by reason of infirmity, or for other reasonable cause cannot, or shall not attend the said service, for every day for each person so absent, shall be contributed and paid (the sum of six pence towards the Fortifications aforesaid, by each person for himself, and his servant or servants, attendant or attendants) to the hands of the Alderman of the Ward, or Seneschall, or other chief Officer of the Liberties respectively, who shall give an account thereof to the chief Governour and Governours, and Councell here for the time being, requiring the same; Neverthelesse, We leave all persons well-disposed to this service to make such voluntary contribution and benevolence thereunto, as they shall thinke fit, and whosoevet shall not by himselfe, and his servants attend this service, or contribute thereunto as aforesaid, such person may justly be esteemed ill-affected, and shall suffer such punishment, as the Lieutenant Generall and Councell of War shall thinke fit to inflict.

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).
