May it please your most excellent Majestie,

THe great security of the Kingdome, rests in the happy concurrence of the King and people, in the unity of their hearts.

These joyned, safety and plenty attends the Scepter; but divided, distraction and confusion, as Bryers and [Page] Thornes over-spreads, and makes the la [...]d barren.

No peace to the King,

No prosperity to the people.

The duties and affections of your subjects are most transparant, most cleere in the cheerfull, and most liberall contributions, given to knit fast this union with the bond of peace.

The Treasures of the privie purse, are but the supplies of Fancies, warranted by a common Interest; But the publick Tribute given by common assent, supports Royall Dignitie, is sheltered under the wings of Prerogative, and by that power covered from the eyes, from the touch of deceivers.

In these wee render Caesar, what is due to Caesar, and Tribute to whom Tribute belongeth.

The proper inscription of the Crown, is borne here, and censures those malignant [Page] spirits that dare whisper, (nay) into the eares of sacred Majestie, that our selves only, not your sacred person, not your Royall posterity, are the supreame objects of the givers.

The preservation of the publick union, the supply of your Armies, the distresses, miserable distresses of the Northern parts, the common Calamities of the times, begat the consideration of this Bill, (the remainder of the six entire Subsidies, happily presented to your sacred Majestie, by this unworthy hand) the first vote advanced a credit to us, to issue them for the use of your sacred Majestie.

The full perfection addes growth to that credit, and enables us to return to your sacred Majestie, as to the Ocean, the Tribute due to Iustice and Soveraignty.

These are the vast earnests of our desires, which take their rise from the due regard, from the safety of your Throne, of your posterity.

[Page] Your Royall assent stamps your Image heere, and makes this yours, and yours only, which I by the commands of the Commons humbly beseech of your sacred Majestie.

FINIS.

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).
