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).

THE HVMBLE ANSWER OF the Honourable Houſe of Commons to the Kings Majeſties laſt meſſage, 7th of Feb. 1641. in defence of the Speech lately ſpoken by M. Pym.

YOur Majeſties moſt Loyall and faithfull Subjects, the Commons now aſſembled in Parliament, have taken into their ſerious conſideration the meſſage received from your Majeſtie the 7th of this inſtant February, And doe acknowledge that the ſpeech therein mentioned to be delivered by Mr. Pym in a Conference, was printed by their Order, and that what was therein delivered, was agreeable to the ſenſe of the Houſe: And touching that paſſage wherein it is affirmed, that ſince the ſtoppe upon the Ports againſt all Jriſh Papiſts, by both Houſes, many of the cheife Commanders now in the head of the Rebells, have beene ſuffered to paſſe by your Majeſties immediate warrants. They preſent your Majeſtie with this their humble Anſwere.

THat they have received divers advertiſements concerning ſeverall perſons, Iriſh, and other Papiſts, which have obtained your Maieſties immediate warrants for their paſſing into Jreland, ſince the order of reſtraint of both Houſes; Some of which, as they have beene informed, (ſince their comming into Ireland,) have ioyned with the Rebells, and beene Commanders amongſt them, and ſome others have beene ſtayed, and are yet in ſafe cuſtodie: Particularly the Lord Delvin and foure other perſons in his Companie, whereof one is thought to be a Prieſt. One Collonell Butler brother to the Lord Montgarat now in rebellion, and Sir George Hamilton, all which are papiſts, and one other (as is reported) being ſonne of the Lord Nettersfeild, whoſe Father and brother are both in rebellion. The particular names of others we have not yet received, but doubt not but upon examination they may be diſcovered.

And your Maieſties moſt faithfull Subiects are very ſorry, that the extreme caution which your Maieſtie hath uſed, hath beene ſo ill ſeconded with the diligence and faithfulneſſe of your Miniſters. And that your Royall Authority ſhould be ſo highly abuſed, although (as it was expreſt in that Speech by Maſter Pym) we beleeve, it was by the procurement of ſome evill inſtruments too neere your Royall perſon, without your Maieſties knowledge and intention. And we beſeech your Maieſtie to take ſuch courſe, that not onely your Honour may bee vindicated for the time paſt, but your Kingdome may be ſecured from the like miſcheife for the time to come.

Read, and by Vote upon the Queſtion, aſsented unto.
