AS not unknowne. This Petition or Prophesie on record, presented to His Majestie in the yeare 1633. Along time Though hath waited, yet be it knowne was accomplished, then this present yeare: 1644. When He on a Friday morning was killed or suffered. Who little thought such a sopp prepared was for him to be his Lords blow (Mat. 24.) The Lord of that servant shall come in a day and an houre he lookes not for. For supposing or saying he defers his comming, because unknowne the houre and day.

And shall cut him assunder, or as the word renders it, Cut of his head: to wit, as much to say with that Hypocrite Iudas, receives his portion due to him or the same sentence.

Not dreamed of in his Diarie, where sets downe the 19. of September 1633. He was translated to be Arch BB. The Lords day by whose heigh authority was translated into a Lawlesse day of Revells and drinking. And so fullfils these also Revel. 17, 8. His Sabbaticall time: who was seven yeares compleat, and eight current Arch BB. of LAMBETH (or BETHLAM:) before his going into prison rewarded as he had shut up and silenced others.

And as in His Majesties reference, how presumptions so ever the imprinting then seemd of those Bookes concerning the Lords comming reveald, &c. And this Petition stiled so detestable and odious to be preferrd yet since hath provd not so detestable as true, in applying great Babylons judgements to great Brittaine, with that hand writing (Dan. 5.) dedicated to the present reigne, or his the last of the Assyrians weighed with this not more weake and found wanting then since so carried was away.

TO THE KINGS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTJE.
The humble Petition of the Lady Eleanor. 1633.

Most humbly shevveth to Your Matie.

THat the word of God spoken in the first yeare of Your happie reigne unto the Petitioner, upon Friday last did suffer early in the morning: the B: BEAST ascended out of the Bottomlesse pitt: having seaven Heads, &c. seaven Yeares, viz: making VVarre, hath overcome, and killed them: Bookes sealed by the Prophets. By the Bishop of Lambeth horned like the Lambe, harted like a VVolfe, are condemned to be burned at Pauls-Crosse, where our Lord crucified, &c. This is the third Day, that their dead Bodies shrowded in loose sheets of paper. Lye in the streets of the Great Cittie, &c. more cruell and hard harted, then other tongues and Nations, who will not suffer them so to be buryed. If your Highnesse please to speake the word, the spirit of life will enter into them, they will stand upon their feete, &c.

Craving no other pardon, humbly as in duty bound shall pray for your Matie.

The word of God to the King, Revela: 17. October, 1633.

The BEAST that was, and is not: Even Hee is the eight, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

At the Court at White-Hall, October the 8. 1633.

His Majestie doth expresly command the Lord Arch-Bishop of Canterburyes Grace, and his highnes Commissioners, for causes Ecclesiasticall: That the Petitioner be forthwith called before them, to answer for presuming to Imprint the said Bookes, and for preferring this detestable petition.

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).
