To the Honourable the Lord Major, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of LONDON, in Common-councell assembled.
The humble Petition of divers Citizens and Inhabitants of the said City.

SHEWETH;

THat with all humble thankfulnesse to Almighty God we take notice of the good hopes He hath given Us, of putting an end to the great troubles of this miserable Kingdom: In which blessed Work, God hath highly honoured this present Parliament, who by their constant courage and wisdome have (under God) been the happy Instruments of preserving us from extreame Ruine, And whose indefatigable pains have been beyond all Examples of former Parliaments and Ages. And in the next place we doe acknowledge, that this famous City hath been very usefull, in contributing their help to the saving the Kingdom, more then any other part of it hath done.

It is therefore humbly prai'd, That you would still continue forward in all expressions, upon all occasions, to acknowledg Gods blessing upon us by the Parliament. And in particular (we being informed of a Remonstrance or Petition, about to be presented to them, by this Honourable Court) that you would therein renew the testimony of your affections to them, and incourage them now in the end of their Work: And that nothing may be presented by you, which may tend to their disturbance, or declare this City short in thankfulnesse, or submission to them; who have oft declared, and hitherto really performed, to venture their lives, and fortunes, for our good, and the Kingdomes safety, &c.

This Petition was delivered May 22. 1646. Subscribed by many Citizens, and assented unto by many more.

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).
