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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

FOR The Commiſsioners of Parliament Reſiding with the ARMIE. My Lords and Gentlemen,

HAving reſolved upon this incloſed diſpatch from the City of London, I thought it my part to give you an account of it, and to give you all aſſurance that my heart is deeply affected with the late carriages towards the Parliament. And how-ever others have neglected their duty towards them for their ſecurity and defence; yet as God ſhall inable me, it ſhall be my great buſineſſe, to improve all that is in my hand for the preſerving of them, and in them the intereſt of this Nation, and what conſtruction ſoever, ſome formerly may have put upon the proceedings of this Army: I truſt the Lord will by his good hand lead us into ſuch good actions as ſhall witneſſe our end anſwerable to all our profeſsion, to wit, for the good of the Kingdome, and thereinto be an effectuall ſaving to great authority of the kingdome in the Parliament.

Bedford July 29. 1647, I reſt, Your moſt aſſured friend Tho. Fairefax.
To the Right Honorable the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Councell of the City of London. My Lord and Gentlemen,

YOu may pleaſe to remember the forward compliance of this Army with your deſires, to remove to this diſtance, and that upon the aſſurance you gave them of your concurrence with their declared deſires, for the ſettling the liberty and peace of this kingdome, (againſt which you never yet offered us one exception or any ground of diſſent) as alſo of your great tenderneſſe and reſolution to ſecure the Parliament and their Priviledges, from any violence or attempt, the chief reaſon given us of your late liſting of new forces, and wherein we did moſt acquieſſe.

That upon this confidence wee had diſpoſed the Army into ſeverall parts of the Kingdome; for the eaſe of the whole, to above 100 miles diſtance: we had given up our ſelves, to the effecting of ſuch propoſals as might tend to the comfortable ſettlement of this poore Kingdome, and we were in a hopefull way for the ſpeedy releife of Ireland.

We cannot then but be deepely ſenſible of the unparalled violation acted upon the Parliament, upon Monday laſt, by a rude multitude from your City, becauſe therein (the guards ſent from the City did not only neglect their duty for the ſecurity of the Parliament from ſuch violence, and the whole City to yeeld any reliefe to the houſes in that extremity, but I am aſſured from eye and eare witneſſes, that divers of the Common-councell gave great incouragement to it, which doth not only gain-ſay your former profeſſions, but does violence to thoſe many obligations that (by your Charter, Proteſtation, and ſundry other wayes) lye upon you to protect the Parliament.

For my part I cannot but look on your ſelves (who are in Authority) as accountable to the Kingdome, for your preſent interruptions of that hopefull way of Peace and ſettlement, things were in for this Nation, and of releiving Ireland, occaſioned by the late Treaſonable, and Doſtructive Engagement: Eſpecially by the latter Prodigious and horrid force done upon the Parliament, tending to diſſolve all Government upon which ſcore wee and the whole Kingdome ſhall have cauſe to put every thing of the like nature that may happen to the Parliament, or to any who are freinds to them and this Army except by your Wiſdom care and induſtry the cheif Acters in the premiſſes, may be Detected, ſecured and given up to the procuring of juſtice for the ſame, and the beſt indevours uſed to prevent the like for the future. And ſo I reſt.

Bedford 29 July. 1647. Your moſt aſſured friend to ſerve you, Tho. Fairefax.
