THE DECLARATION OF BOTH HOVSES OF PARLIAMENT Concerning His Maiesties Letter to the Privy Councell of the Kingdome of Scotland. And the Petition of the Noblemen, Gentlemen, Ministers, &c. of Scotland, to the Lords of the Privy Councell.

THE Lords and Commons in Parliament, have perused a printed Paper under the title, A Letter sent from the Kings Majesty to the Lords of the privy Counsell of the Kingdome of Scotland; bearing in the front the appearance of his Majesties usuall Signature, and in the bottome this Date. Given at ou [...] Court of Yorke the 20▪ of May. 1642. As likewise another paper in the forme of a Petition with this inscription, To the Right Honorable the Lords of his Majesties Privy Counsell. The humble Petition of many Noblemen, Gentlemen, Burgesses, and Ministers occasionably meeting at Edenbrough, and having bin credibly informed, that they are true Copies of a Letter and a Petition sent and delivered as the severall Titles import. Vpon mature consideration of the matter therein contained, doe declare, and protest; That those sufferings expressed in the Papers betwixt his Majesty, and Parliament, cannot justly be imputed to any actions, or intentions of ours, who have endeavoured with all fidelity, to procure the happinesse of his Majesty, and of this Kingdome; And that we are not guilty of laying upon the King, any such calumnies, and aspertions, as are mentioned in that Paper, and seeme to reflect upon us; But on the contrary have laboured to take the blame from his Majesty, and to lay it upon his evill Councell.

And as touching the Petition aforementioned, wee doe with much contentment, and thankfulnesse, observe the faithfulnesse, and good affection of our Brethren of Scotland, in seeking to prevent all Iealousies, and to preserue the peace betwixt the two Nations, so truly expressed to the Lords of the Councell; whereby the hopes of those, who practised to have drawn from their Lordships some Declaration to the prejudice of this Kingdome, were frustrated. And we shall never cease to answer this great care of theirs, with the like earnest and dilligent endeavours, to promote the honor, wealth, and prosperity of that Nation, and preserve that Union so strongly fortefyed, by publike and mutuall interest, and affection on both sides; And wee desire that the Commissioners may give notice to the Scottish Commissioners how heartily, and joyfully wee doe imbrace the kindnesse of that Kingdome, manifested in that Petition, and Order this Declaration to be forthwith printed; That so it may be published to the whole Kingdome of Scotland, hoping that this constant, and Inviolable amity betwixt us, will not onely conduce to the safety, and honour of both Kingdomes, but prove very usefull for the advantage, and security of the Protestant Religion in other parts.

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).
