By His Highnesse the Prince of Great BRITTAIN, Duke of CONWALL and ALBANY, Highest Captain Generall of all His Majesties Forces raised and to be raised within the Kingdom of England, Dominion of VVales and Town of Berwick, &c.
A PROCLAMATION, For all persons within Our Quarters in the County of DEVON able to bear Arms, not being otherwise imployed by His Highnesse, or dispenced withall, to attend His Highnesse now advancing in Person to meet the Rebels.
AS ALSO For a Generall Supplication to be made in all Churches of DEVON and EXETER, on Sunday the 4. of Ianuary, for Gods blessing on His Highnesse, and His Forces.

WHereas, upon the motion of the Enemy on this side Exeter, We have resolved in Our own Person to repair to Our Army, & to that end We resolve with all possible expedition to advance with Our Forces, hoping, by the blessing of God, to expell the Enemy from this County, We have thought fit to publish and declare this Our resolution, desiring and requiring all Loyall and able men of what degree or quality soever within Our Quarters in that County as well those of the Trained-Bands, as all others able to bear Arms, who are not otherwise imployed or dispenced with by Vs, to repair to Vs very speedily in person, to Our assistance, with such Arms as they can bring; And We must professe that We shall impute the absence of any person, not so imployed or dispenced with as aforesaid, to want of Loyalty, or want of Courage, both which at so important a time, and upon so important an occasion, We hold equally odious. And for the procuring a blessing from God upon this Our first enterprize, which We undertake for his Service, and for the procuring a blessed Peace upon this miserable Kingdom, towards the which Our entreaties and earnest desires of mediation have been rejected, We desire that on Sunday next a generall Supplication may be made in all the Churches within Our Quarters for Gods blessing upon Vs and Our Forces, intending also to see the like Supplication solemnly made by the whole Army, when We shall have drawn it into a body. And the High-Sheriffe of Devon is to cause this Our Declaration and Proclamation to be speedily publisht in all Market-Towns and Publike Meetings in Our Quarters there, and read in all the Churches and Chappels within the said County, We having directed the like to be done in Our Dutchy of Cornwall, and hereby likewise directing the like to be done in the City of Exeter.

Given at Our Court at Tavistoke the 29. of Decemb. 1645.

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).
