¶ A Proclamation for the ease of the Citty of Oxford, and Suburbs, and of the County of Oxford, of unnecessary Persons lodging or abiding there.

BY THE KING.

HIs MAIESTY being inforced to draw into these parts and places diverse Regiments of Souldiers, who want fit places to Billet them in, by reason (as He is informed) there are many Women and Children as well as Men, who have no necessary employment either about His Majesties Person, or Court, or Army, and yet have thrust themselves into Houses and Lodgings in these places, from whence they keep out others, which must be placed here, and are but a burthen in the consuming those provisions which are and must be made for those, whose attendance and service is necessary, Hath therefore, by the advice of the Lords and others His Highnesse Commissioners, of His Princely care, thought fit to publish and declare His Royall Pleasure and Command as followeth.

1. That all such as have Houses, or parts of Houses, or other Roomes, sit for the entertaining, lodging, or disposing of any Souldiers, or others, doe truly deliver the number of roomes they have, the number of bedds, the true number of Persons there lodged, entertained or receaved, and their names, as neere as they can, and to whom they doe belong, or under whose command they are.

2. That all such as are so lodged or entertained doe truly deliver what their qualities are, under whose command, or upon what attendance, either to the Court or Army, what their names are, and doe truly set downe what bedds they have to receave them, and where.

3. That if any doe refuse to give such true information, or doe mis-informe in any thing, or doe colour any others to lodge there which ought not so to be, that He or Shee shall be subject to that punishment which the offence deserveth.

4. That if any Person shall not immediatly, or within twenty foure houres after the publishing of this Proclamation, depart from this Citty and Suburbs thereof, and County aforesaid, who cannot justify their abiding here as aforesaid, they shall be sent away by the Officers of the Army, or Ministers of Iustice, as the case shall require, with such disgrace as they deserve for such their fault herein.

5. That if in this County there be any Women or Children lodged or entertained under pretence of attending the Army, or any Souldiers therein, that the Commanders in that place shall examine and certify to the Kings Commissioners, what they conceave to be fit, According to whose Certificate, that shall be done which shall be just in such case.

6. That if any have houses of abiding in this County, or neere thereunto, that they remove thereunto speedily, where they shall have the Kings Protection for their safety.

7. That if any shall in any of these things offend, they are hereby to know, that they shall not only incurre the danger of contempt to His Majesty for such their offence, but also such other punishment as the nature of their offences shall deserve.

8. That if any Person come into the Citty or Suburbes thereof, he shall that night, or before, discover unto St Iacob Ashley the Governour of the Citty, his owne name, and the names of his servants, or company, and the place from whence he came, and the occasion of his comming. And that the Master of the House shall, before any new commer shall lodge in any house, deliver the name of such Person and his company to the Governour of the Citty, upon the like pain as aforesaid.

¶ Given at Our Court at Oxford, the Seventeenth day of Ianuary, in the Eighteenth yeare of Our Reigne.

God save the King.

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).
