A Copy of the English Merchants Petition to King James
To the King's Most Excellent Majesty.
The Humble Petition of several English Merchants of the City of London,

Sheweth,

(N.5.) THAT in January, 1685. Sir Peter Vandeput and a few others, having Petitioned Your Majesty for the Remission of the Aliens Duty Outwards, upon hearing the Commissioners of the Customs, Your Majesty was pleased to declare Your Pleasure in favour of the Petitioners, and to remit the Aliens Duty for all Goods Exported of the Native Production and Manufacture of this Kingdom, until Your Majesty should find Cause to alter Your Royal Pleasure therein.

And Your Petitioners being informed, That some Persons are attempting to get the Aliens Duty Inwards remitted also, in all Humility, do represent to Your Majesty, That the Remission thereof, either Inwards or Outwards, is a Publick Damage to the Interest of Your Majesty's Kingdoms, and Diminutions of Your Revenue, and the Trade of Your English Merchants, and a means to transplant that, and the Mysteries of our Artifices into the Hands of Foreigners, to the Ruine, not only of the Trading and Working People at Home, but also of the several English Factories Abroad.

Your Petitioners therefore most humbly beseech Your Majesty's Leave, that they may be heard, to demonsrate to Your Majesty the Consequence of such Remission.

And Your Petitioners (as in Duty Bound) shall ever humbly Pray,

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).
