By the Council of State. A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS The Parliament assembled at Westminster the Third of November 1640. is now Dissolved, and the Care and Preservation of the Publick in this Interval, is in a special manner, committed by Authority of Parliament, to the Council of State, which Trust they are obliged and resolved in the Strength of God, to perform with all Faithfulness to the Publick Safety. And being taught by the late dispensations which God hath exercised these Nations with, that the surest, and directest way, to arrive at that great and good End, is to waite upon Gods Providence and Blessing, in the pursuite of those Methods, which, by his preceptive Will, appear most regular, and orderly; Which being conformed unto, may at last, after the many Motions and Revolutions that have befaln these Nations, Fix the good People thereof upon right Foundations of Settlement, and true Freedom; And having cause to apprehend, that some persons (consulting more private Concernments and Interests) may, upon Principles of dissatisfaction, attempt the putting of Affairs, out of that Hopeful way, into which, the over-ruling Wisdom, and Soveraignty of Divine Providence, hath at present reduced them. The Council have therefore thought it necessary, to charge and require (as they hereby do) all Persons, of what Condition soever they be, to forbear any meeting or meetings, in order to the contriving, or carrying on of any Declaration, or Subscription concerning Affairs of State or Government; But that they do quietly apply themselves to a peaceable Submission to the present Authority, and to expect, and acquiesce in such management of publick Affairs, as God by the influence of his Wisdom and Conduct, shall guide them to, untill the next Parliament shall be assembled and take further order; Not doubting but the whole Nation shall in due time receive the Fruit of such their Submission, and of the Councils circumspection and integrity for securing their Rights and Welfare. And it is hereby declared, That if any Person or Persons, after this Caution given, shall do any thing to the contrary hereof, they shall be looked upon, as Enemies of the Publick Peace, and shall be proceeded against accordingly.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).
