A PROCLAMATION, Commanding all Persons being Popish Recusants, or so reputed, to depart from the Cities of London and Westminster, and all other Places within Ten miles of the same.

CHARLES R.

WHereas the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons in Parliament Assembled, having taken into their serious Consideration the Bloudy and Traiterous Designs of Popish Recusants against His Majesties Sacred Person and Government, and the Protestant Religion, have (for prevention thereof) most humbly besought His Majesty to issue forth His Royal Proclamation, to the effect, and for the purposes hereafter mentioned: The Kings most Excellent Majesty hath been Graciously pleased readily to condescend thereunto; And doth by this His Royal Proclamation straitly Charge and Command all persons being Popish Recusants, or so reputed, that they do on or before the Seventh day of November next ensuing (under pain of His Majesties highest Displeasure, and of the severest Execution of the Laws against them) depart and retire themselves and their Families from His Majesties Royal Palaces of Whitehall, Somerset House, and St. James, the Cities of London and Westminster, and from all other Places within Ten miles distance of the same: And that no Person being a Popish Recusant, or so reputed, do presume at any time hereafter to repair or return to His Majesties said Palaces, or any of them, or to the said Cities, or either of them, or within Ten miles of the same.

Provided, That nothing before contained, shall extend to such Housholders dwelling within the said Cities, or either of them, or in any Place within Ten miles of the same, who being Traders; exercising some Trade or Manual Occupation, have been there settled for the space of Twelve Months last past, in Houses of their Own, and have not an Habitation elsewhere, and who shall give in their Names, and the Names of all other Persons in their Families, to the two next Justices of the Peace. And His Majesty doth strictly Charge and Command, That immediately after the said Seventh day of November, the Constables, Church-wardens, and other Parish Officers within the said Cities, and either of them, and within Ten miles of the same, do go from House to House in their several Parishes, Hamlets, Constabularies, and Divisions respectively, and there take an Account of the Names and Surnames of all such Persons as are Popish Recusants, or reputed so to be, as well Housholders as Lodgers, or Servants, and to carry a List of their Names to the two next Justices of the Peace, who are hereby Required and Enjoyned to send for them, and every of them, and to tender to them and every of them, the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy, and to commit to Prison till the next succeeding Sessions of the Peace, all such Persons as shall refuse the said Oaths, and at the said next Sessions to proceed against them according to Law: His Majesty hereby giving the said Justices to understand, That the better to enable them to tender the said Oaths, His Majesty hath Commanded respective Commissions to be issued under His Great Seal of England, to the Justices of Peace within the said Cities of London and Westminster, and the Places within Ten miles of the same, to Authorize and Require them, or any two of them respectively, to administer the said Oaths accordingly.

Given at Our Court at Whitehall, the Thirtieth day of October, 1678. in the Thirtieth year of Our Reign.

GOD Save the KING.

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).
