Die Jovis, 6 Januarii. 1647.
Additionall Directions of the Lords and Commons Assembled in Parliament, For the Billeting of the Army, when they are upon a March, or setled in their Quarters.

1 THat when soever any Forces shall be by vertue of an Order from the Generall, or from such as he shall appoint, upon a march or removing Quarters, they shall at the Townes or Parishes where they shall be ordered to quarter, be billetted in the usuall way by the Quarter-Master or superiour Officers, according to the directions of the Constables or chiefe civill Officers of the said Townes or Parishes; And the respective Inhabitants where any of the said Souldiers shall be so billetted shall receive them, and for one night, or two nights at the most, shall finde them their ordinary family diet, wherewith the Souldier shall be contented, and pay for the same at the rate of six pence per diem for a Foot Souldier, and twelve pence per diem for a Trooper, and hay onely for his Horse.

2 That for the first fortnight after the Forces shall be drawne into Garrisons, Towns and Cities, (according to the Directions of Parliament) and untill they shall be furnished with pay to enable them to maintaine themselves, they shall in the same manner be quartered, received and provided for, and at the same rates aforesaid, by such Inhabitants upon whom they shall be billetted by the Magistrate of the place, or by their owne Officers, in case the Civill Magistrate shall resuse to do it; the Officers ingaging to the Inhabitants to see the Quarters discharged at the said Rates.

3 That after the said fortnight is expired, or after the Forces shalbe furnished with pay as aforesaid, in any Garrisons, Townes, or Cities, where any Forces shall come by Order, as aforesaid, to be at a setled Quarter, so many of them as cannot be conveniently disposed of to Innes; Ale-houses, Tavernes, or Victualling-houses, shall be billetted at other houses by the chiefe Magistrate of the place, or (if he shall refuse to do it) by the chiefe Officer present with the said Forces; and in case of any abuse or inequality therein, the said Magistrate, or next Justice of Peace, to have power to order and alter the proportions of billetting to the severall Inhabitants, as he shall finde most fit and equall: And the persons where they shall be so billetted, shall receive them accordingly; but shall not after the two first nights from the Souldiers coming thither (for which the Souldier is to pay at the Rates aforesaid) be lyable to finde the Souldier any dyet or Horse-meat (except by agreement betwixt him and the Souldier, and at such Rates as they shall agree upon) but shall only entertaine the Souldier with lodging, stable roome, and the use of their ordinary fire and candlelight. And in case any such Inhabitants be agrieved therewith, and desire to have no Souldiers at all in his house (he or the Magistrate providing such Billet for the Souldier elsewhere within the Towne) or at any Village adjacent (within such distance as the chiefe Officer commanding in the Quarter shall allow of) such Inhabitant shall have his house wholly free.

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).
