A Declaration of the Lords and Commons Assembled in Parliament.

Die Mercurii 10. May, 1643.

WHereas by the Ordinance of Parliament for the speedy raysing and levying of Money, for the maintenance of the Army, raised by the Parliament, and other great Affaires of the Commonwealth, by a weekly assessement. It is ordained among other things, that the weekly sum of three hundred pounds, shall be charged, rated, taxed and levied upon the Borough of Southwark, the Parishes of Redrith, Newington-Butts, and Lambeth, as by the said Ordinance may appeare; which sum of three hundred pounds, since reduced to two hundred pounds. And because in common accompt the liberty of the Clink, and the Bankside lying in the Parish of S. Saviours, & the Parish of S. Mary Magdalens Bermondsey, in the County of Surry, are reputed to be within the said Borrough and lie within the limits of the places in the said former Ordinances specified, the same were not in the said former Ordinance particularly named, and expresly set down, whereby some doubt hath bin made, whether the said liberties of the Clink, the Bankeside, and the said Parish of S. Mary Magdalens are within the intent of the said former Ordinance, which occasions the retarding of the assessing and collecting of the said weekly assessements, to the prejudice of the publique affaires of the Common-Wealth; The Lords and Commons doe ordaine and declare, and be it ordained and declared by the Lords and Commons in this present Parliament assembled, That the said liberty of the Clink, and the Bankeside aforesaid, and the said Parish of S. Mary Magdalens Bermondsey and every of them, at the severall times of the making of the said recited Ordinances were, now are, and shall bee reckoned and held to be within the intent and true meaning of the said Ordinance; And that the said two hundred pounds weekly assessement, shall be charged, rated, taxed and levied upon the said Borough of Southwark, the Parishes of Redrith, Newington-Butts and Lambeth, and upon the said liberties of the Clink and the Bankeside, and Parish of S. Mary Magdalens Bermondsey, And that none of the said places or Parishes shall be exempt from the same charge, but shall every of them be contributary thereunto as amply and fully to all intents, constructions, and purposes, as if the same and every of them had bin expressed and set down by name, in the said former Ordinance; Any matter, thing, or cause whatsoever to the contrary thereof in any wise notwithstanding.

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).
