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).

Aprill 14th LONDON, Printed for Richard Beſt, 1645.
The Earle of VVarwicks ſurrender of the Ordinance and authoririty formerly granted to him by both Houſes of Parliament, &c. MY LORDS,

BEing lately in Kent, to ſpeed out the Fleet, that an Eaſterly winde might not prevent their ſeaſonable getting forth of the River; And receiving notice of an Ordinance of Parliament, whereby the Members of both Houſes, holding Offices under their Authority, ſtand diſcharged after the end of Forty dayes, I thought it my duty, (after my giving in charge to the Captaines, then in thoſe parts, to bee faithfull in their Truſts) to make my returne backe, that I might teſtifie my cheerfull Compliance with the Houſes Reſolution.

While I have had the Honour to ſerve the Parliament in the great Truſt by them repoſed in me, both ſince my being Lord Admirall, and before, I have endeavoured to performe my Duty, with fidelity, and diligence, being acted therein by no other deſigne, but a deſire to advance Gods glory, and my Countries Service. And my Endeavou's (though accompanied with thoſe common Infirmities that are incident to men) have (through the bleſſing and goodneſſe of God) not been without ſome viſible advantage to the Publique, being made inſtrumentall to preſerve the Parliaments Intereſt in the Fleet, when it was laboured with Letters, and Commands under the broad Seale, from his Majeſtie, to be turned againſt them; And ſome ſervice hath accrued to the State by the releiving of our Friends, and interception of Supplies intended to the Enemy; Beſides thoſe leſſe obſervable preventions of danger, which without a vigilant eye, might have infeſted the Kingdome.

But as I did, in obedience to the Command of both Houſes, Receive, and hitherto Mannage that employment, ſo did my heart, with all poſſible readineſſe, ſubmit to their pleaſure, ſo ſoone as it was held forth in that Ordinance. And therefore, in teſtification of that high and honourable eſteem that I owe, and ſincerely beare to their wiſedomes, I do with al humility, and cheerfullneſſe, reſigne and ſurrender into their hands, the Office of Lord Admirall where with they were pleaſed formerly to intruſt me, And ſhall value it as my higheſt honour, and contentment, next to my God, to be ſerviceable to them, and my Country in any other condition where into his providence ſhall caſt me. Not counting my Perſon, nor deereſt intereſts, too pretious to be layd out in maintenance of that great cauſe of Religion, and Liberty, wherein they are ſo juſtly engaged. And in all their Reſolutions, my faithfull and ready Concurrence ſhall demonſtrate to all the world, That my higheſt ambition is, no other, then, to contribute my beſt endeavour for their Service. And that I am reſolved to ſtand, and fall with them in the upholding of Gods truth, and the publique Liberty; knowing well by many yeares experience, that the welfare of this Kingdom, cannot ſubſiſt without Gods bleſſing in the preſervation, and ſafety of the Parliament, Which I here preſent, as the reall, and can did expreſſions of a minde, full of integrity, and humble reſpect towards them.

And I ſhall joyne my Prayers, together with my utmoſt aſſiſtances, that as God hath thus far honoured them with doing of great Services to his name, ſo hee will continue to ſhine upon their Councells, untill this ſhaken Kingdome be eſtabliſhed upon a laſting, honourable, and holy foundation.

FINIS.
