Aleyn Mayor.

At a Common-Councel holden at the Guildhall London, on Wednesday the 23 day of November 1659.

IT having pleased Almighty God to shew us so much of the Fruit of our own Hearts and Evil ways, as to let us see the very Foundations of Government Razed; and that we have so much cause to fear our great Want of Fear and Love to his holy Name and Word, Worship and Sabbaths, Magistrates and Ministers, may justly provoke him to withdraw from us, and to Loath, Abhor and Leave us to the Lusts of our own Hearts, and to our great Weakness and Folly, till Confusion and Desolations make us become a Reproach to Religion, and a Scorn to all Nations.

In most humble desires of that good convincing Spirit of Promise, to give us a right sight and sense of our great Vileness, and his greater Goodness, yet able to Pardon, Recover and Heal us; We desire to Bow down and Humble our Souls before the mighty hand of God, that he may yet Pitty and Spare, Pardon and Heal, according to the Greatness of his Power and Goodness: That his Name may be glorified, and the Kingdom of our Lord Iesus enlarged, and these Nations setled in Peace and Righteousness, with Governors and Councellors, Iudges and Teachers after his own Mind and Heart, according to his Holy Word: And that He will not leave us in this Houre of Temptation, till he hath brought us through all our Fears, Troubles and Darkness, unto True Rest, Peace and Setlement.

For these great ends this Court hath appointed Friday the second of December next, solemnly to seek the Face of God, with Fasting and Prayer at Pauls Church; and doth recommend it to the Ministers of the Gospel, to give notice hereof in all their several Churches and Congregations, and to desire their Assistance and Concurrence in their several Churches, as the Lord shall enable them and all his People throughout this City and Liberties thereof.

Sadler.

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).
