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).

AN ORDINANCE For Adjourning part of EASTER TERM. 1654.

WHereas many abuſes and corruptions are crept into the ordinary courſe and adminiſtration of Iuſtice, both in Law and Equity, the Reformation whereof hath not yet been attained; Out of a tender care and deſire that ſo neceſſary and good a work may at length be brought to effect, It is held convenient and neceſſary to Adjourn part of the next Term of Eaſter; Be it therefore Ordained by His Highneſs the Lord Protector, by and with the conſent of His Council, That part of the ſaid Term of Eaſter now next coming be Adjourned, That is to ſay, from and after the firſt Return called Quindena Paſchae, unto the firſt Return of Trinity Term called Craſtino Trinitatis; And all and every perſon or perſons, which have cauſe, or commandment to appear in any of the Courts at Weſtminſter, in or at any day, or time, from and after the ſaid Return, called Quindena Paſchae, and during the ſaid Term, called Eaſter Term, may tarry at their dwellings, or where their buſineſs ſhall ly, without reſorting to any of the ſaid Courts for that Cauſe, and without danger or forfeiture, penalty or contempt to be in that behalf. And be it alſo Ordained by the Authority aforeſaid, That Writs of Adjournment ſhall be directed to the Iuſtices of the ſaid Courts, giving them au • hority to Adjourn the ſaid Term of Eaſter, as aforeſaid, that is to ſay, from and after the firſt Return, called Quindena Paſchae, until the firſt Return of Trinity Term, called Craſtino Trinitatis, as before is ſaid, and the ſaid Adjournment ſhall be made, as aforeſaid. And be it further Ordained by the Authority aforeſaid, That all Matters, Cauſes and Sutes, Depending in any of the ſaid Courts, ſhall have continuance, and the parties ſhall have day, from the day of the ſaid Adjournment, until the ſaid Return of Craſtino Trinitatis, as is aforeſaid; And the Lords Commiſſioners of the Great Seal are required to iſſue forth Writs accordingly. And be it further Ordained by the Authority aforeſaid, That the Sheriffs of London and Middleſex, and all other Sheriffs both in England and Wales, do forthwith proclaim and publiſh this Ordinance in the Chief Market Towns within their ſeveral and reſpective Counties.
