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).

To the right Honourable the Lords and COMMONS aſſembled in the high Court of PARLIAMENT. The humble Repromiſſion and Reſolution, of the Captaines and Souldiers of the Trained Bands, and other Inhabitants of the County of ESSEX. Humbly ſheweth;

THAT we having with joy and admiration, obſerved the wiſe and gratious Paſſages and Proceeding of this Parliament: and the pious, tender, and affectionate care of your Honours, for the preſervation of the Peace and Honour of his moſt excellent Majeſtie, and theſe three thrice happily united Kingdomes; repreſented to the World in your ſeverall Ordinances, Declarations, Votes and Remonſtrances, ſufficient to ſtop the mouth (if it were poſſible) of envy and malignity it ſelf) cannot but with grief and indignation wonder to heare, that there ſhould yet be found, & that even about the Regal Throne, ſuch unnaturall & evil affected ſpirits, and malignant Councellors, who, deſirous to ſwimme to the haven of their ambitious hopes, in the blood of their deareſt Friends and Country-men, doe continually inſtill into his Majeſties Royall breaſt, a ſiniſter conceit, and miſ-interpretation of your moſt Humble and Loyall Affections, and noble Actions, and Vndertakings.

Wherefore we underſtanding (not by miſ-information of flying reports, but) by the late Votes and Declarations of both your Honourable Houſes.

That his Majeſtie ſeduced by wicked Councell, intends to make Warre againſt the Parliament: That ſo to doe is a breach of the truſt repoſed in him by his People, contrary to his Oath: And that whoſoever ſhall ſerve, or aſsiſt him in ſuch Warres, are Traytors by the Fundamentall Laws of this Kingdome.

And withall perceiving your moſt Chriſtian & Heroical Reſolutions to perſiſt in your Honourable Endeavours: for the publique ſafety, though you ſhould (which God avert) periſh in the worke.

Wee thought it our duties moſt humbly to repreſent to your Honours, the faithfull affections and inviolable reſolutions of our ſoules to Stand or Fall, Live or Die, together with you: According to our PROTESTATION.

Thus with our hands upon our Swords, wee ſtand ready at your command, to performe our Vows to God and Oathes of fidelity to his Majeſtie, In taking up Arms againſt thoſe falſe Flatterers, and Traytors: who abuſe his Royall Favour, intending under the glorious Title of his Name and Standard, to fight againſt the Peace and Honour of their Soveraigne, againſt Religion, and the Lawes: and to make a prey and ſpoyle, of three flouriſhing Kingdomes at once: And to ſpend our deareſt blood in the defence of the lives, & liberties of our Country men; the Lawes which are the life of our liberty, and Peace; Religion more precious then both; and the King & Parliament: In whoſe lives lies bound up the life of all the reſt. VVhoſoever is otherwiſe affected, wee hold him not worthy the name of a Souldier but a Proditor of his King and Country to all Poſterity.

Laſtly, finding a multitude of well affected People, whoſe hearts are good to joyne with us but want Arms we moſt humbly crave, That Reſtitution may be made of thoſe Armes, which weretaken out of their County; either out of the ſtore lately arrived from HVLL; or otherwiſe as to your moſt excellent Wiſdome ſhall ſeem beſt.

And wee ſhall ever Pray.

This Reſolution was preſented to the Trained Bands, and Companies of Ʋoluntiers, who appeared at Dunmow: Jun. 10. 1642. And was received with univerſall Approbation, by holding up of Hands, throwing up of Hatts, and Acclamations: profeſſing, That they held them unworthy to live, that ſhould diſlike it. And it was within three dayes after, ſubſcribed with ten Thouſand Hands.
