Die Lunae 6 Septemb. 1647.

An Ordinance of the Lords and Commons Assembled in Parliament, That from henceforth no Moneys clipt, filed, or deminished, shall be payable, or received in payment within this Kingdom.

FOr as much as during these distractions great sums of Moneys clipped and unlawfully diminished, have beene dispersed and given out amongst the people thorowout the Kingdome; for the speedy suppression thereof and prevention of the like in the future, Be it Ordained by the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled, That from henceforth no Money diminished by clipping or filing shall be currant or payable in this Kingdome, or be offered in payment, or received as due payment by any person whatsoever, but be esteemed as Bullion, and no otherwise. And to the end that such Moneys as are by this present Ordinance declared to be uncurrant, may not for the present become unusefull unto such as live in remote parts of the Kingdome, and cannot sell them but at under rates; Be it Ordained, That for three Moneths after rhe date hereof, the said clipt Money shall be allowed of in payment, at foure shillings ten pence per ounce for Goldsmiths weight, which is troy weight, or foure shillings foure pence half penny the ounce avordupoyz, which is the common weight. And all persons may hereby take notice, that such clipped money will yeeld in London foure shillings and eleven pence per ounce for Goldsmiths weight, and foure shilings five pence halfpenny per ounce for avordupoyz waight at the least. Provided neverthelesse that it is not hereby intended that any old Moneys, which are apparent not to be clipt, or otherwise unlawfully diminished, but onely growne light through waring and wasting, by long passing from hand to hand, shall be included within this Order, but shall still be currant without dispute as formerly.

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).
