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.

A DECLARATION Of Colonell HORTON AND The Officers and Soulders under his Command.

THe Honorable Houſes of Parliament having reſolved that the forces under the command of Maj. Gen. Laughorn ſhould be disbanded. And for the ſpeeding of that work, his Excellency the Lord Gen. iſsued forth his poſitive Orders to the Commander in chief of thoſe Forces, for the disbanding of the forces in South-Wales. But Col. Rice Powel with his Forces (after many ſolemn and publike engagements of his ſubmiſſion to the Ordinances of Parliament, and his Excellencies orders for disbanding) doth now contrary to the ſaid Orders and ingagements, not only refuſe to disband, but earneſtly endeavours to lay the foundation of a new war, the which that he may the better accompliſh, he doth entertain all ſuch ſouldiers formerly disbanded, as by any fair promiſes he can allure unto him, labouring to increaſe his number, to the great charge of the Inhabitants, and not reſting there, iſsueth forth his warrants to ſummon the Countries to ſeverall Randezvouz, attempting thereby to ingage them in a deſperate deſign, to the manifest hazard of ſpilling the bloud, and unavoidable ruining the Eſtates of his Neighbors and Country men.

And yet would perſwade the people, he only intends to oppoſe new Forces drawing towards them, as he ſuggeſts, to indanger their peace, though occaſioned by his and his adherents disobedience to the Parliament and his Excellencies orders to come to eaſe the Country of the burden of free quarter.

Therefore we thought fit (for a prevention of the miſeries, theſe deluſions may lead the Country men into) to declare and publiſh, that the true reaſons of theſe forces marching into theſe Counties, are no other, th •• • s hath been already expreſsed, viz. to gain obedience to the Parliament and his Excellencies Orders for disbanding, which will free the people from the oppreſſion which they lay vnder, and from all other charges whatſoever, beſides their ordinary aſseſments.

And then after eaſing the Country of theſe heavy burdens; they will ſuddenly depart again, hoping in the mean time, to prevent the inconveniencies that formerly accompanied Armies.

Let therefore all well meaning people timely take heed of being divided by faire tales to ruine themſelves, and ſeriouſly conſider the different fruits of war and peace. It is the ſettlement of peace the Parliament endeavours through the Kingdome, which is no where disturbed but in theſe parts, And by whom, it is here done, and upon what grounds and pretences, we leave to the judgment of all ingenious men, who will impartially weigh the truth of what hath been here publiſhed.

HORTON.
Die Lunae 8. May 1648.

THere have ſundry Votes paſt the Houſe of Commons this day and on Satterday laſt, both in relation to the King, and in anſwer to the Propoſitions lately received from Scotland; and therein they in the firſt place recalled the former Votes for making no further addreſſes to the King, and voted, that further addreſſes ſhould be made to him, viz. by ſending the Propoſitions again which were tendered to His Majeſty at Hampton-Court.

The Houſe then reſumed the conſideration of the Letter, with the Demands incloſed from Scotland, and ordered, that the Lords concurrence ſhould be deſired to the Vote, for the Government of this Kingdom to be by King, Lords, and Commons.

They further debated upon the Votes yeſterday paſt, for preſerving inviolably the ſolemn League and Covenant, and the Treaties of both Kingdoms, and the Vote for a further addreſſe to his Majeſty, upon the propoſitions at Hampton-Court, and made ſome explanation or addition thereunto, That they would be ready to joyn with Scotland upon thoſe propoſitions, ſo far forth as may tend to the union and peace of both Kingdoms.

The Copy of a Letter from Northumberland. SIR,

THe ſceane is much altered in theſe parts, Malignants have now gotten ſome head again here, and increaſe their numbers dayly. Sir Marmaduke Langdale hath a ſtrength of Horſe in this County, wherewith he hath given an allarme to ſome of our quarters about Morpeth: they ſay, they will not joyne with the Scots againſt England, but only act upon a Commiſſion which they pretend from Prince Charles; yet it is apparent, that the Scots and they hold correſpondence, for when Sir Thomas Glenham, ſir Marmaduke Langdale, ſir Charles Lucas, Capt. Woogan, and Iome Forces which are now in England, were in Scotland, and demanded to be delivered up to the Juſtice of the Parliament of England, by the Parliaments Commiſſioners in Scotland, they were protected, and nothing would be done therein; the Committee of danger there alleadging, that it was not within the large Articles agreed on between both Kingdoms.

Sir Arthur Haſlerig is very diligent in fortifying of Newcaſtle. Some Gentlemen of theſe parts are gone up to London, to acquaint the Parliament with the affairs and conduction of theſe Northern Counties, and we hear the Parl are about to aſſociate theſe Counties again, and to put 10000. men more into a poſture of defence againſt the Cavaleer party, which are entred Berwicke, and begin to overſpread the Country. By the next, I pray, let us hear what news at London, for which you ſhall command

Your affectionate friend, S. J.

LEtters came this day from Scotland, to this effect, that the Parl. of Scotland have voted their Declaration to be printed; about which time the Aſſembly of the Kirk will print their Declaration againſt raiſing of forces to invade England, yet a report from the Committee of danger, for the Levies of men and arms is approved, and Warra • ss iſſued forth accordingly, but a Liſt of the Officers is not yet paſt the Generalſhip, nor confirmed on Duke Hamilton, nor a Randezvouze appointed.

Edenburgh 1. of May, 1648.

From Briſtol was this day advertized, that ſince Col. Flemming wsa killed, there was an encounter between col. Horton and Col. Powel, who had a conſiderable party, ſome whereof were newly come to joyn with Poyer, the fight is related to continue about an hour, and the ſucceſſe is ſaid to bee the taking of 15 or 16. Cullers by Col. Horton's Forces from Col. Powels; in doing whereof, it cannot be conceived, but Col. Horton took many priſoners, and that there was a great ſlaughter, the particulars, if true, will ſhortly come, and bee communicated more fully to the publike view.

Letters out of Holland ſay, that Prince Charles, and the Duke of York are met together at the Hague, ſome ſolemnities have been uſed by way of entertainment, which was inlarged, for that the report goes, they intend not to ſtay there; but whether it be either of them have a deſigne for the North or Weſt of England is not yet known.

The Parliament this day proceeded on the buſineſſe of the Church, they likewiſe ſell into debate of other things, for giving ſatisfaction to our Brethren of Scotland, they expect a good Anſwer from the Parliament of England, the receipt whereof, its believed will ſatisfie that Kingdom, and continue a good correſpondency between us.
