A PROCLAMATION.

VVHEREAS it hath pleased Almighty God in his Great Mercy to this Kingdom, to Vouchsafe us a Miraculous Deliverance from Popery and Arbitrary Power; and that our Preservation is due next under God, to the Resolution and Conduct of His Highness the Prince of ORANGE, whom God hath Chosen to be the Glorious Instrument of such an Inestimable Happiness to us and our Posterity: and being highly Sensible, and fully Perswaded of the Great and Eminent Virtues of Her Highness the Princess of ORANGE, whose Zeal for the Protestant Religion will no doubt bring a Blessing along with Her upon this Nation. And whereas the Lords and Commons now Assembled at Westminster, have made a Declaration, and presented the same to the said Prince and Princess of ORANGE, and therein desired Them to accept the Crown, who have accepted the same accordingly. We therefore the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, together with the Lord Mayor and Citizens of London, and others of the Commons of this Realm, do with a full Consent, Publish and Proclaim according to the said Declaration, WILLIAM and MARY, Prince and Princess of ORANGE, to be KING and QUEEN of England, France and Ireland, with all the Dominions thereunto belonging, Who are accordingly so to be Owned, Deemed, Accepted, and Taken by all the People of the aforesaid Realms and Dominions, who are from henceforeward bound to acknowledge, and Pay unto them all Faith and true Allegiance; Beseeching God, by whom Kings Reign, to Bless King WILLIAM, and Queen MARY, with long and happy Years to Ring over us,

GOD Save King WILLIAM and Queen MARY.

Whitehall, Febr. 13.

This morning the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons being Assembled at Westminster, and having agreed upon an Instrument in Writing, for Declaring the Prince and Princess of Orange, King and Queen of England, France and Ireland, with all the Dominions and Territories thereunto belonging, and presented the same to their Highnesses in the Banqueting House, and received their Consent thereto: The said Lords and Commons about Eleven of the Clock came down to Whitehal-Gate, where the Officers of Arms, Sergeants at Arms, Trumpets, and other Persons concerned in the Solemnity, being Assembled, by Order from the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of England: Sir Tho. St. George Kt. Garter Principal King of Arms, having received a Proclamation, and the said Officers of Arms being Ordered by the House of Lords forthwith to Proclaim the same, York Herald (after the Trumpets had thrice sounded) Proclaimed it at Whitehal-Gate accordingly (the said Garter Reading it to him by Periods) in the presence of the said Lords and Commons and Multitudes of People there Assembled, who concluded the same with repeated Acclamations of Joy, from whence they proceeded in this manner. First, the Head Bayliff of Westminster with his Men; Next, the Knight Marshals Men, than a Class of Trumpets, followed by the Sergeant Trumpeter; Then an Officer of Arms singly, followed by six other, each accompanied with a Sergeant at Arms; Then Garter King of Arms with the Proclamation, accompanied by the Usher of the Black-Rod; Then the Lord Marquiss of Halifax, who executes the Place of Speaker in the House of Lords, in his Coach, attended by Sir Roger Harsnet, Eldest Sergeant at Arms, with his Mace; Then Henry Powle Esq Speaker of the House of Commons, in his Coach, attended by Sergeant Topham, with his Mace; Then the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of England in his Coach, followed by the rest of the Peers in Order, all in Coaches; Lastly, the Members of the House of Commons in their Coaches. Thus they proceeded to Temple-Bar, where the Gates being shut, two of the Officers of Arms (attended by a Sergeant at Arms, and two Trumpets) knocking the reat, the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex coming to the Gate, and being informed of the Occasion of their Coming, Ordered the Gates to be opened, and the Whole Proceeding entred (except the Bailiff of Westminster, and his Men, who went off there) and the Lord Mayor, Recorder, and Aldermen receiving them in their Formalities, a second Proclamation was made between the two Temple-Gates; and the said Aldermen, Sheriffs and Lord Mayor falling into the Proceeding, at Woodstreet-end in Cheapside Their Majesties were Proclaimed a Third time; and so at the Royal Exchange in Cornhill a Fourth time; each Proclamation being echoed with Universal Acclamations of Joy by the Multitudes of People which crowded the Streets, Windows and Belconies; The Streets all the way from Temple-Bar to the Royal Exchange being lined with four Regiments of the City Melitia. Thus the Ceremony ended▪ and the Night was concluded with Bonefires, and Ringing of Bells, and all other Expressions of Duty, and Affections to Their Majesties, King WILLIAM, and Queen MARY, with hearty Wishes for Their long and happy Reign.

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).
