CHARLES R.

WHEREAS We, by Our Proclamation, bearing date the sixth day of June last past, taking notice, by the Information of the Lords and Commons in Parliament Assembled, of the mou horrid and execrable Treason and Murther, committed against the Person, and against the Life, Crown and Dignity of Our late Royal Father of Blessed Memory. And that the Persons therein named were deeply guilty thereof, did thereby command, that all and every of them should, within Fourteen days next after, personally appear and render themselves, as therein is appointed, under the paine therein also expressed.

And whereas Edmund Ludlow Esquire, being one of the persons therein named, did, thereupon, render himself, Nevertheless hath, since, escaped from out the custody of the Serjeant at Arms, attending on the House of Commous, and is fled, or doth obscure himself, to evade the Iustice of a Legal Tryal.

We therefore have thought fit, by and with the Advice of Our Privy Council, to publish the same, to all Our Loving Subjects, not doubting of their care and forwardness in his apprehension. And We do hereby require and command, as well all and singular Our Iudges, Iustices of the Peace, Mayors, Sheriffs, Bayliffs, Constables and Headboroughs, as also the Officers and Ministers of Our Ports, and other Our Subjects whatsoever, within Our Realms of England, Scotland, Ireland, or Dominion of Wales, and all other Our Dominions and Territoies, to be diligent in enquiring and searching for the said Edmund Ludlow, in all places whatsoever, as well within Liberties as without, whom, if they shall happen to take, Our further Will and Pleasure is, that they cause him so apprehended, to be safely carried before the next Iustice of the Peace, to the Place where he shall be arrested, whom We streightly command to commit him to Prison, and presently inform Vs, or Our Privy Council, of his said apprehension.

And We do hereby further Declare and Publish, That if any Person or Persons, after this Our Proclamation published, shall directly or indirectly, conceale, harbour, keep, retain or maintain the said Edmund Ludlow, or shall contrive or connive at any means, whereby he may escape from being taken or arrested, or shall not use their best endeavors for his apprehension, as well by giving due advertisement thereof to Our Officers, as by all other good means, We will (as there is just cause) proceed against them that shall so neglect this Our commandmnet with all severity.

And lastly, We do Declare, That whosoever shall discover the said Edmund Ludlow, either within Our Kingdoms of England, Scotland, Ireland or Dominion of Wales, or in any other Our Dominions and Territories or elsewhere beyond the Seas, and shall cause him to be apprehended, and brought in as aforesaid, shall have a Reward of Three hundred Pounds in money, to be paid unto him, in recompence of such his Service.

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).
