[Page]

THat you will be pleaſed to reflect upon the divine Service of God, according to the ancient lawes of this kingdome, that thereby the poore Proteſtants between the two extremities of zeale may not ſuffer a diſturbance of their religion.

That you will be pleaſed to preſerve Gods annointed his immediate Vicegerent our true and lawful Soveraigne Lord the King, in his perſon in all his Regall Dignities and lawfull immunities without any impeachment of his Regality in whoſe honour the reputation of the Kingdom depends.

That you will be pleaſed to ratifie and confirme all things both concerning His Majeſty and the ſtate of this Kingdome as they were in thoſe bleſſed daies of Queene Elizabeth and King Iames, that we may thereby live in theſe latter and turbulent times; with as much peace to our conſciences, with as much dignity to our Nation, in as true love and obedience to our lawfull Soveraigne, and with as much liberty and liberality of our fortunes as our forefathers heretofore have done.

That you will not ſuffer Learning to be defaced nor diſcountenanced by the ignorant, but rather that you will be pleaſed to advance it to its Dignity, it being the maine ſupporter of lawfull obedience, of order, civility, and regularity in all States.

That you will be pleaſed to qualifie the exorbitancies of the Separatiſts and unworthy perſons, that thereby the City of London and the Suburbs may be disburdened from their continuall cares and feares, beſides their loſſe of time, healths, and fortunes, which the Trainebands, and the double and treble Watches and Wards continually doe ſuſtaine.

That you will be pleaſed, as the State hath by election both made you members of this Honourable Houſe, and adopted you our Fathers to governe our fortunes, to eſtabliſh our Lawes, and to regulate our actions: ſo we now beſeech you to ſatisfie our conſciences, to preſerve our reputations, and to admit of a liberall and free debate in Parliament, concerning all theſe particulars, without interruption that thereby the glory of God may be exalted, the dignity of our King and Kingdome preſerved, the immunities of the Houſe according to the ancient cuſtome of England continued, all precipitated tumults appeaſed, all diſcords amongſt us peacefully united, the valiant and renouned acts of our predeceſſors revived, our tottering fortunes eſtabliſhed, our King and Kingdome united; that ſo our minds and conſciences may be fully ſatisfied. &c.

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).
