Die Veneris 2 Septem. 1642.
A DECLARATION OF THE Lords and Commons Assembled in Parliament.

THe Lords and Commons having lately sent Sir Thomas Barrington, and M. Grymston into the County of Essex, for the appeasing and quieting of divers Assemblies of people gathered together in great bodies, who had much damnified the houses, and taken the goods of divers persons without Law or other authority; And having received a report from Sir Thomas Barrington being returned, that the [Page] people upon the first knowledge given them that the Parliament required they should forbeare the searching of any houses for Armes and Ammunition, or the taking goods out of any House otherwise then is or shall be directed by the Parliament, or without the assistance of some of those persons who are by both Houses of Parliament declared that they ought to be present; The people did thereupon presently yeeld obedience and withdraw themselves in a peaceable manner, and as they were required, did make restitution of Plate, Money, and many other goods by them taken from such as were pretended Popish-Recusants, and other malignant persons, and that they had expressed great zeale and forwardnesse to comply with the directions of Parliament for the future. The Lords and Commons doe declare, that they rescent the aforesaid expressions of the people, and their ready obedience, as a testimony of that dutifull affection which they beare to the Parliament, and to the present service of the Kingdome, and doe hereby order and declare, that all persons whosoever, that [Page] have taken either Money, Plate, or any other Goods out of the House or Houses, or from the persons of any whosoever, without the speciall command or Order of both, or either House of Parliament, shall forthwith restore the same to the parties from whom they were taken, or otherwise bee proceeded against, as the Lords and Commons shall further direct upon complaint made, And as both Houses of Parliament have beene, and will be very carefull to preserve the peace of the Kingdome, by disarming of all Recusants, and such others as shall be knowne or justly suspected to be enemies thereunto, and to the pious and good endeavours of this Parliament; And to that purpose have by a Declaration passed by assent of both Houses the three and twentieth of August last, expressed what persons shall be intrusted for the mannaging of that service; They doe thereby further Order and Command, that no person doe presume either alone, or accompanied with others, to breake or violently enter the House of any whosoever, [Page] under colour of pretence of disarming Reculants or other persons pretended to be Enemies to the Peace of the Kingdome, without the particular command of such as are intrusted or deputed by the Parlialiament; And it is further declared, That speciall and speedy care be taken therein, for the security of the Kingdome; and particularly for the County of Essex, from whom they have received so many expressions of their duty to the service of the publique, though the Parliament cannot but let them know, that severall violent actions by some of them unwarrantably committed, are extreamely disallowed; But as the Lords and Commons declare, that they shall be ever ready to give assistance, and protection to all such as shall obey the commands of both, or either Houses of Parliaments, So they do resolve, that they will inflict exemplary punishment on all such according to their severall demerits, as shall be refractory and disobedient to these their commands made known to them; And by all good wayes, and meanes will further [Page] endeavor to bring them to a legall tryall for such their Offences; But for the incouragement of those who have beene forward, and active in the service of the Commonwealth, It is thought fit to give them notice, that those eight Horses taken from Sir Iohn Lucas and brought up to the Parliament by Sir Thomas Barrington and intended by Sr. Iohn Lucas for the strengthning of a malignant party, and are delivered by command to the Lord Generall to be by him imployed for the preservation of the kingdome, And the Parliament hath caused the same Sr. Iohn Lucas and M. Newcomen to be committed to severall prisons; And it is Resolved that they shall be brought to their severall tryalls and receive such punishment as shall appeare to be just according to their demerits. And like proceedings shall be had against all such as shall be found disturbers of the Peace of that County.

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).
