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).

By the King, A PROCLAMATION. James R.

WHereas Our Deareſt Brother of Bleſſed Memory, by His Royal Proclamation bearing date the Fifteénth day of September, in the Twelfth year of His Reign, for preventing the Exportation of Wooll, Wool-Fells, &c. out of this Kingdom, did ſtrictly Charge, Prohibit and Command, That no manner of Wooll, Wooll-Fells, &c. ſhould be at any time by any Perſon or Perſons, whether Denizens or Strangers, Exported, Tranſported, or ſent out of this Realm of England, Dominion of Wales, or Town of Berwick upon Tweed, or any the Iſles, Ports, Creéks or Places thereof, into the Kingdom of Scotland, or any other Foreign Parts beyond the Seas, upon pain of His higheſt Indignation, and the ſevereſt Penalties that by the Laws and Statutes of this Realm might be Inflicted, as well upon the Offenders themſelves, as their Aiders, Procurers, Abettors, and Favourers. And to the end that the Cuſtom-houſe Officers, and other Miniſters in and about the Ports of England might more ſtrictly look to the Obſervance of His Pleaſure therein, He did further Charge and Command, That if any Officers ſhould conſent, or connive at the unlawful Exportation of the ſaid Commodities, he ſhould not only forfeit his Place, but incur other Pains. And for the Encouragement of all ſuch who ſhould take care and pains to Diſcloſe, or make Diſcoveries of the Frauds or other Practices to evade or defeat the true intention of the ſaid Proclamation, did Declare His Royal Will and Pleaſure, That every ſuch Perſon that ſhould be the firſt Diſcoverer of ſuch Offenders, ſhould be rewarded with the moiety, or one half of ſuch Sum of Money and other Forfeiture as ſhould come unto him by any the offences aforeſaid. Now We being Graciouſly inclined, as well out of Our own Princely Care of the Welfare of this Our Kingdom, as induced by Our ſaid Dear Brothers Royal Example, to prevent as much as in Vs lies, ſo great an Evilas the Tranſportation of the Commodities aforeſaid, by continuing the ſaid Bounty, Do hereby Declare Our Royal Will and Pleasure, for the encouragement of all such, whether Officers of the Cuſtoms or others, Bodies Politick, or private Perſons, who being legally Authorized thereunto, ſhall take care and pains to Seize any Wooll, Wooll-Fells, &c. or any Boats or Veſſels Tranſporting the ſame contrary to the Laws and Statutes of this Realm, or ſhall Proſecute any Perſons Offending againſt the ſaid Laws, or Diſcloſe or make Diſcovery of the Frauds, and other practices to evade and defeat the true intention thereof, and ſhall purſue the ſame to effect, and obtain a Certificate or Teſtimonial from the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and the Commiſſioners of the Cuſtoms for the time being, that he hath ſo done, that every ſuch Officer, or other Body Politick, or private Perſon, ſhall be rewarded with the moiety, or one half of ſuch Sums of Money, or other Forfeitures as ſhall come in to Vs by reaſon of any the Offences aforeſaid. And Our Lord High Treaſurer of England, or Lords Commiſſioners of the Treaſury for the time being, are hereby Empowered upon ſuch Certificate or Teſtimonial, by his or their Warrant, to cauſe ſuch Officer or other Perſon to be Diſcharged of one moiety of ſuch Sum of Money, or other Forfeiture, as ſhould have come in to Vs by reaſon of any the Offences aforeſaid. And it is not hereby intended that any Seizer of ſuch Goods ſhall be intituled to Our Royal Bounty as above, unleſs he ſhall effectually Proſecute in the Court of Exchequer in all caſes where it ſhall appear ſuch Proſecution is practicable. And further, no Compoſition ſhall be privately made upon any Seizure, betweén the Seizer and Owner of the Goods, nor without the Direction and Allowance of the Court of Exchequer, or one of the Barons of the ſaid Court; and that all Wooll, Wooll-Fells, &c. Boats and Veſſels hereafter Seized by force of any of the ſaid Laws, ſhall be brought to London, Hull, or Exeter, and there diſpoſed, to prevent Selling them again to the Owners, as hath hitherto too frequently beén practiced. Giving alſo Charge and Command, that all Perſons of what Degreé, Quality or Place ſoever, eſpecially Our Officers Military and Civil do diligently obſerve, and readily aſſiſt the due performance of this Our Proclamation in all things, and requiring the Diligence and Faithfulneſs of all Our Cuſtom-Houſe Officers on the Penalties aforeſaid.

Given at Our Court at Windſor the Eleventh Day of July 1687. in the Third Year of Our Reign. God ſave the King.
