CHARLES R.

VVE are so highly sensible of the extraordinary merit of Our County of Cornwall, of their zeale for the Defence of Our Person, and the just Rights of Our Crowne, (in a time when We could contribute so little to Our own defence, or to their Assistance; in a time when not onely no Reward appeared, but great and probable dangers were threatned to Obedience and Loyalty,) of their great and eminent Courage and Patience in their indefatigable prosecution of their great Worke against so potent an Enemy, backt with so strong, rich and populous Ciries, and so plentifully furnished with Men, Armes, Money, Ammunition and Provision of all kinds; And of the wonderfull successe with which it hath pleased Almighty God (though with the the losse of some eminent persons, who shall never be forgotten by Vs) to reward their Loyalty and Patience by many strange Victories over their and Our enemies, in despight of all humane probability, and all imaginable disadvantages; That as We cannot be forgetfull of so great deserts, so VVe cannot but desire to publish to all the world, and perpetuate to all Time anp Memory of these their merits, and of Our acceptance of the same. And to that end, VVe do hereby render Our Royall thanks to that Our County in the most publike and Lasting manner VVe can devise, commanding Copies hereof to be Printed and published, and one of them to be read in every Church and Chappell therein, and to bee kept for ever as a Record in the same, That as long as the History of these Times, and this Nation shall continue, the memory of how much that County hath merited from Vs and Our Crown, may be derived with it to posterity.

Given at Our Campe at SUDELEY Castle the tenth of September. 1643. ⟨15 Sept: 1643⟩

The agreement of the Maior, Aldermen, and inhabitants of the Towne of TENBY.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).
