A Narrative of the Proceedings of the Committee of the Militia of London, Concerning a Letter, in Part Resolved to be sent to General Monck, and the Officers under His Command in Scotland.

THe Commissioners for the Militia of the City of London being met the third of November instant, at their ordinary place of meeting, a Draught of a Letter was produced, to be Addressed to General Monck and his Officers, Testifying Their dislike of His Undertaking, and Raising Forces, which after a long Contest and Opposition made by a considerable Number of the Members of that Committee, Eminent for Estates and Interest in the City, was Resolved on by a very small disproportion and odds of Votes, viz. two or three at the most; against which the said Dissenters Generally made Their Protestation, and many of Them in further Testimonie thereof Subscribed Their Names in the Paper of the Committee; But no Resolution being taken at that time, when the said Letter should be sent, by whom, or how Directed, They appointed to meet the next day, to Treat further thereupon; being met, the Dissenters comming with a very good assurance that They should have been able to have laid aside and prevented the sending of any Letter of that Import by a far greater number of Members, whom the former Debates, and a more serious Consideration had made sensible of the danger and imprudence of such an Application, designed for the discouragement of that Faithful and Generous Assertor of the Parliaments Right, the Liberties of the People, and the Government of the Common-wealth, by the Administration of the Civil Power, there was an indeavour by producing a Letter from the pretended Committee of Safety, to discharge that Committee from further Sitting, the Authority whereof was likewise disowned, and Declared against by many, as insufficient to suspend Their Sitting, Authorized by Act of Parliament: Notwithstanding, upon a Solemn Promise, That the Letter should not be sent, or made publique; and at the Request of the Lord Mayor, That They would give place to the Court of Aldermen, who had appointed to meet in the same Room, at the same Time, upon other Occasions, the Committee by mutual Consent Adjourned themselves: Now forasmuch as the said Letter, contrary to Promise, is published in Print, and probably may also be sent to General Monck, least the same should be deemed the free and unanimous Act of the Committee for the Militia of London, it is thought fit to publish the Premises, with the Names of those that carried on the Letter, as also of those that dissented, to the end that the City, who are best able, may Judge of the matter by the manner, and the men Respectively Engaged on either side.

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).
