ESSEX.

WHEREAS Wee are informed, that divers Merchants, Strangers, & others, have lately brought into this Kingdom several Peices of Dutch Coyne, commonly known by the name of New Lyon Dollars, stamped with a Lyon Rampant on the one side, and a man with an Eschutchion [...]overing his lower parts, and a Lyon charged in it on the other side, Coyned in the years 1674, 1675, or 1676, with this Motto Confidens Domino non movetur, and the year of our Lord in the same round with the Motto over the head of the Lyon, and that they by themselves, their Agents or Factors, have dispersed and uttered the same in paiment amongst His Majesties Subjects at the rate of four shillings nine pence per Peice, as moneys allowed to be Issued in trade and Commerce. And whereas we have caused some of the said Peices to be tryed and Essayed by the Essay Master of this City, and do find, that the said Peices are worse than his Majesties Standard of England, by two Ounces 5 peny. weight upon the pound weight. And that these new Dollars are intrinsically worth no more than three shillings four pence one farthing sterling, and (in proportion to the spanish mony commonly current here) worth three shillings nine pence. And whereas none of the said Peices, nor any of that kind and Species have been at any time allowed by his Majestie, or by Proclamation from us the Lord Lieutenant, or any his Majesties Former Cheif Governors and Council of this Kingdom, to pass as current mony within this Realm, and yet are commonly paid off (as we are informed,) at the rate aforesaid. Now we the Lord Lieutenant and Council duly weighing the premisses, and the many inconveniencies which by such fraudulent Practices may befall his Majesties good subjects, if not timely prevented, have thought fit to publish and make known the same by this our Proclamation, and hereby to Caution and advise, that none of the Officers or Ministers of his Majesties Revenue, or any other person or persons of what nature, quality or condition soever he be, is or are by any Law required or inforced to take or receive any of the said Peices, commonly called New Lyon Dollars stamped in manner as aforesaid in any payment or payments whatsoever, and hereof we require all manner of persons, who are or shall be therein any wise concerned, to take special notice at their Perills.

Given at the Council Chamber in Dublin, the 9th. day of April 1677.

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).
