WHereas the Lady Wentworth gives out in Speeches and otherwiſe, that ſhe is ready and willing to ſet aſide her Priviledge, and go to a Tryal at Law with the Lady Poole her Siſter, and the Counteſs of Newbrough, for and concerning a Debt of 6000 l. due and owing to them. But they are adviſed by Able Councel that they cannot ſafely proceed at Law: for if they ſhould, they may be barred by Pleas of no Aſſets, or nothing by Diſſent or Minority. And alſo the Earl of Cleaveland leaving no Perſonal Eſtate, and all his real Eſtate being veſted in Truſtees; by thoſe Acts they cannot be retained in any ordinary Courſe of Law or Equity; nor can thoſe ſeeming fair Offers aid them.

And in truth the Lady Wentworths Aſſurance to this Honourable Houſe, are only Words; for when the Lady Poole ſhall come to Law or Equity, neither of them can give away the Infants Eſtate during the Minority; ſo that if ſhe wave all ſhe pretends to, yet it is not in the power of the Law to help the Creditors, at leaſt during the Infants Minority. This is evident in the Caſe between Henry Lyde and Mr. Bernardiſton of Bedford, in which, Lyde the Mortgagee hath been kept out by Minority of ſeveral ſucceſſive Infants, near 40 years, and is to this day: Which Mortgagee if occaſion ſhall require, will be produced; ſo that in truth no Relief can be had but by Act of Parliament: And as it is alledged, that the Lord of Cleaveland ſpent great part of his Eſtate by the Wars, it will be proved upon Oath that he was ſo much in Debt, that he was forced to fly into the Army for Shelter.

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).
