CHARLES R.

CHARLES, by the Grace of GOD, King of Scotland, England, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith;

To all and sundry Our Lieges and Subjects whom these presents do or may concern, Greeting:

Forasmuch as it hath been alwayes Our greatest care, that Our good Subjects may live in Peace and Happiness under Our Government, So We have for that purpose been more desirous to make use of Our Mercy, to induce them to a dutiful submission to Our Laws, then to take special notice of any disorders committed by them, as the Acts of Indempnity and Grace lately granted by Vs will witness. And the same tenderness towards them still possessing us, in order to those who have been seduced and misled in the late Rebellion and Insurrection that appeared in some of the Western Shires, in the Moneth of November last, We are resolved that Our Mercy to them shall far exceed Our Iustice: And therefore, out of Our special Grace and Favour, We do by these presents grant Our full and free Pardon and Indempnity to all persons who were engaged in the said Rebellion, or who had accession thereto, from all pain or punishment, which by the Law they are lyable to for the said Rebellion, and for all deeds done by them in the same, or in relation thereto: Excepting alwayes from this Pardon, the Persons and Fortunes of Colonel James Wallace, Major Lermonth, [...] Maxwel of Montief[?] younger, [...] Macklellan of Barscob, [...] Gordoun of Parbrek, Macklellan of Balmagechan, [...] Cannon of Burnshalloch younger, [...] Cannon of Barley younger, [...] Cannon of Mordrogget younger, [...] Welsh of Skar, [...] Welsh of Cornley, [...] Gordoun of Garrery in Kells, Robert Chambers Brother to Gadgirth, Henry Grier in Balmaclelan, David Stot in Irongray, John Gordoun in Midtoun of Dalry, William Gordoun there, John Macknacht there, Robert and Gilbert Cannons there, [...] Gordoun of Bar elder in Kirkpatrick-Durham, Patrick Macknacht in Cumnock, John Macknacht his Son, [...] Gordoun of Holm younger, [...] Dempster of Carridow, [...] of Dargoner, [...] of Sundiwall, [...] Ramsay in the Mains of Arnistoun, John Hutcheson in Newbottle, Patrick Listoun in Calder, William Listoun his Son, James Wilkie in the Mains of Cliftoun-hall, the Laird of Caldwell, the Goodman of Caldwell younger, the Laird of Kersland younger, the Laird of Bedland-Canninghame, [...] Porterfield Of Quarreltoun, Alexander Porterfield his Brother, [...] Lockhart of Wicketshaw, Mr. [...] Trail, Son to Mr. Robert Trail, sometime Chaplain to Scotstarbet, David Poe in Pokelly, Mr. Gabriel Semple, John Semple, Mr. John Guthry, Mr. John Welsh, Mr. Samuel Arnot, Mr. James Smith, Mr. Alexander Pedden, Mr. [...] Orr, Mr. William Veitch, Mr. [...] Patton Preacher, Mr. [...] Cruikshanks, Mr. Gabriel Maxwel, Mr. John Carstairs, Mr. James Mitchel, Mr. William Forsyth, and of all others who are forfaulted, and who are under process of forfaulture: As also excepting all such, who, since the late Rebellion, have been accessory to the robbing of Ministers houses, and committing violences upon the persons of Ministers, and who shall be processed for the same, and found guilty thereof, betwixt and the first day of December next ensuing; But with this express condition alwayes, That this Pardon shall only extend to such, who betwixt and the first day of January next shall make their appearance before such as are authorized for that effect, and shall give Bond and Security for keeping the pubick Peace of Our Kingdom; and that such of them as shall give their Oath that they cannot find Security and Caution, give their own Bond for that purpose. And this Our Royal Favour and Grace, We appoint to be published at the Mercat-cross of Edinburgh, and other Royal Burroughs of these Shires.

Given at Our Court at Whitehall, the first day of October, one thousand six hundred and sixty seven, and of Our Reign the nineteenth year.

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).
