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).

SIR,

THe greateſt part of the time ſince Thurſday laſt (when the Articles incloſed were agreed of for the rendition of Edenburgh Caſtle) hath beene in ordering of things in relation to their Marching out this day. There hath beene a continuall paſſing to and from the Caſtle with Trunkes, and other goods for theſe foure or five dayes; and yet for all that there are many more goods left for the inhabitants hereabouts, and much more thoſe Scots who dwell farre off, and now come over in great numbers, who muſt have further time; and the General hath engaged that they ſhall not looſe any of them after our Souldiers have poſſeſſion of the Caſtle, but have free liberty to fetch them out; it's verily beleeved that there was more Money, Plate, and Rich Houſhold ſtuffe in this Caſtle, then in any one part of Scotland beſides, yet ſuch hath been the civility of our Souldiers, that they have not in the leaſt interrupted the Inhabitants, or taken away any of their goods; ſo that conſidering the impregnall ſtrength of the place, the great loſſe of men we muſt have had, in caſe we had ſtorm'd it (if we had carried it that way which was almoſt impoſſible) and the love of the people which we now have gained by this civil uſage, it was the beſt courſe that could have been taken; and if it were pu • in the Ballance, would not appeare to be of much leſſe conſequence, then the defeat at Downhill neer Dunbar. This day Col. Dundas Marched out of the Caſtle with 120 men, all Musketiers, their Colors flying (which was one red Enſign) one Drum beating, the greateſt part of them marched to Leith and intend for Fife. Lieu • . Col. White with ſome companies of Foot tooke poſſeſſion of the Caſtle, we have as yet no account what number of Arms, Ammunition, or Proviſion is in it. The number of the Ordnance is incloſed. Col. Fenwick Governor of Berwick for the preſent is to take the Government thereof. His Excellency with many Officers went into the Caſtle this afternoon to view it. There are taken in it the particulars incloſed. By reaſon of the great Winds, the Souldiers that came out of the Caſtle, could not get into Fife, but were forced to ſtay in Leith this night with a guard. Divers of the Foot laid downe their Armes, and will not engage any more againſt our Army. Before their going out of the Caſtle, there were two Barrels of Gun powder blowne up, which killed two of their Men.

Decemb. 19. 1650. Articles Treated of, concluded, and agreed upon by Major Andrew Abbernethe, and Captaine Robert Henderſon of the one party, on the behalfe of VValter Dundaſſe Eſqu. Governour of the Caſtle of Edenburgh: and by Col. George Monke, and Lieut. Col. Francis VVhite on the other party, on the behalfe of his Excellency the Lord Gen. Cromwell for the Rendition of the ſaid Caſtle, according to the Articles enſuing.

1. That the Caſtle of Edenburgh, with the Cannon, Armes, Ammunition, and Magazeenes, and furniture of war (except what ſhall be excepted in the enſuing Articles be rendred to his Excellency the Lord Gen.

That the Publike Regiſters, Publike Moveables, private Evidences and VVrits be tranſported to Fife or Sterling; and that Wagons and Ships be provided for the tranſporting of them. 3. That for all the goods in the Caſtle belonging to any perſon whatſoever, an Edict may be proclaimed to the people about Edenburgh, to come own, and receive their own; and if any bee at a far diſtance or dead, a place may be provided in the Towne of Edenburgh for keeping the ſame until they be owned, and after owning, they have liberty to carry them where they pleaſe. 4. That all perſons whatſoever not belonging to the Garriſon, as men, women, and children, may have liberty to goe whether they will without trouble, and there have the free exerciſe of their callings and Employments with ſafety, both to themſelves and goods. 5. That the Governour of the ſaid Caſtle, and all Military Officers, Commanders and Souldiers, of whatſoever condition (none excepted) may depart without any moleſtation with their Armes and Baggage, with Drums beating, and Colours flying, Matches lighted at both ends, and Ball in their mouthes, as they uſually are wont to march, and all their goods with a free conduct to Brunt Iſland in Fife; or if any of the foreſaid perſons deſire to tranſport themſelves and goods any where elſe for their greater conveniency, it may be with freedome granted. 6. That all Officers and Souldiers, as well ſick as hurt, ſhall have free liberty to remaine in Edenburgh till they recover, and to enjoy the benefit of theſe Articles. 7. That the number of Horſe and Wagons, as many as the Governour ſhall need for his own particular uſe, as alſo for the Officers and Souldiers, ſhall be ſent them for the carrying ef the aforeſaid baggage, to the aforeſaid places. 8.

By Letters from Carlile Decem. 25. as followeth, A party of Horſe and Dragoons was ſent from this Garriſon, confiſting of about 1000. to Garriſon Dunfrieze in Scotland, where they are in a quiet condition. There were divers Cavaliere Lords and Gentlemen, with ſome 400 Attendants met there with a purpoſe to raiſe ſome Forces for their King, but upon the advance of this party they left the Town and went to their owne homes, which makes me conjecture they like not the dancing of the Scotch Jigge at Sterling this jocund time of Chriſtmas. Juſt now a Packet came to me from my Lieut. Colonel at Dumfrieze, which gives me an accompt of the parties procedings there under his command, which he ſent into Gallaway to prevent the gathering of the Enemy in thoſe parts. To give you the particulars wil be too teadious, onely this I wil ſay, That they have been very active, the Lord going along with them, ſo that they have done their buſineſſe and they write to me that there is not much conſiderable to be done in that part of Scotland, onely the Garriſoning of ſome Caſtles for conveniency of paſſage, and awing the Countrey. They have taken the ſtrong Caſtle of Kinmore, whoſe Articles are as followeth:

Decemb. 22. 1650. Articles concluded and agreed upon the day and yeere aboveſaid, betwixt the Lord Kinmore Governour of his Caſtle of Kinmore, on the one party: and Cap. Dowſon, Cap. Crackenthorpe, and Cap. Nary, on the other party, for the Parliament of England.

IMprimis, It is concluded and agreed upon that the ſaid Lord Kinmore ſhall forthwith deliver up to the ſaid Cap. Dowſon, Cap. Crackenthorp, and Cap. Nary, his Caſtle of Kinmore, with all the Arms and Ammunition, for the uſe of his Excellency the Lord Gen. Cromwel. 2. It is concluded and agreed upon, that the ſaid Lord Kinmore ſhall have all his Houſholdſtuffe, of what ſort ſoever, within the ſaid Caſtle, ſecured to his proper uſe, either within ſuch Roomes of his ſaid Caſtle as he ſhall chooſe, or by conveying them away to ſome other place, provided it be within fourteen daies. 3. That the Lord Kinmore, with ſuch as are now in Armes with him in the ſaid Caſtle, whoſe names are under written. ſhall have liberty to repaire to their owne homes without any diſturbance to their Perſons or Eſtates, acting nothing prejudiciall to the Army of England, or ſhall have ſeven daies, (the morrow being the 23 of this inſtant being the firſt) to diſpoſe of themſelves, their Horſes, and Armes, without let or moleſtation by any belonging to his Excellencies Army.
