Die Martis, 19 August. 1645.

AN ORDINANCE OF The Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament, For the setting forth ships of warre, for the more secure fishing for Herring the next season.

WHereas upon the Petition of divers Fishermen for the Herring fishing the last yeeres season, praying that some ships of War might be set forth to Sea to preserve them from Pirates, and other Sea-rovers; and for the defraying of that charge, a duty or rate might be set and received on every Last of Herring, The Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament did by their Ordinance of the six and twentieth of August, 1644. lay, and impose a duty of three shillings upon every Last of Herring, (each Last conteining ten thousand Herrings) which should be taken that season by any Fisherman; And for every Last of Herring such fisherman should sell at Sea, should pay the summe of five shillings over and above the former three shillings; And if any Fishermen should bring on shore any Herring to dry, or barrell them to his owne use, that then he pay for every Last so landed the summe of five shillings over and above the said former three shillings. And it was farther ordained, that every person whatsoever that should buy any Herring that season, and land the same to barrell or dry, should pay after the rate of five shillings for every Last by him so bought, as in and by the said Ordinance more at large it doth and may appeare. Now forasmuch as the said Ordinance is expired, and the said Fishermen having again by their humble Petition desired, that in regard of the necessity of having some ships of War to be set forth for the next Herring season, and for the defraying the charge thereof, the like duty and rate may be set on every Last of Herring, Which the said Lords and Commons taking into consideration doe ordaine, that the like duty be hereby imposed on every Last of Herrings, which shall be taken this next Herring fishing season, as was set and laid on them by the said Ordinance of the six and twentieth of August, 1644. And that such summe or summes of money as shall be raised on the said duty by vertue of this Ordinance shall be paid to the said Miles Corbett and Edward Owner, Esquires, Thomas Johnson, Thomas Gooch, Bayliffes of the Towne of Yarmouth, or any two of them, or unto such persons as they shall depute under their hands and Seales for that service, to be by them or their said deputy or deputies issued out of the said service, as they shall from time to time receive order from the Committee of the Navy appointed by Parliament, who are likewise hereby authorized to doe the same.

And it is further ordained, that the said Committee of the Navy shall have power to contract for such a convenient number of ships for this service as they shall thinke fit, not imploying above the number of three hundred Marriners.

And it is lastly ordained, That every other Article and clause in the said Ordinance of the six and twentieth of August, 1644. contained, shall be observed, stand and continue in full force and power.

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).
