My Lords,

I Shall desire to bee heard speak a few words, which I would much rather have heard spoken by any of your Lordships, [Page] that so they might have a happier and a more handsome expression; though with a better heart, and clearer intentions they could not have beene spoken.

The sad condition wee are now in (my Lords) is such as is too apparent to any man, who hath but halfe an eye: the City of London is full of jealousies and apprehensions, wee sit not here free from feares; the King hath with-drawne himself from hence, together with his Queene and Children, out of a beliefe, (as I conceive) that his Maiesties Person was not safe here. While [Page] things continue in this posture (my Lords) wee may well feare an impairing, wee can hardly hope for the bettering of affaires: God hath plac'd us (my Lords) in the Medium betwixt the King and his people; let us play our parts (my Lords) let us doe our duties, and discharge our consciences; let us really prove, what wee are by Name, Noblemen; let us endevour to work a perfect and a true understanding, betweene the King and his people: let us freely unbosome our selves to his Maiestie; and desire that his Maiestie will bee pleased to doe so to us; and to this end, (my Lords) which is [Page] the end of my motion, if it shall be approved of by your Lordships, I do humbly move, that by way of conference, or any other way, wee may desire the house of Commons to ioyne with us; first in an humble petition to his Maiestie that hee would be graciously pleased to returne to his good City of London, as the safest place we conceive for his sacred Person in these distemper'd times; and then that they will likewise ioyne with us in a Profession or Protestation, that we will doe what in us lies to free his Maiestie from his feares; to take from the Citizens of London, and his Maiesties other subiects [Page] their jealousies and apprehensions; and that we will live and dye his Maiesties faithfull Advisors, Counsellors and Loyall Subiects.

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).
