The Kings Majesties PROCLAMATION For calling of His PARLIAMENT in SCOTLAND.

CHARLES R.

CHARLES by the grace of GOD, King of Scotland, England, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, To all, and sundry, whom these do, or may concern, greeting. The confusions and troubles, by which Our good Subjects of this Our ancient Kingdom of Scotland, have these late years been deprived of that Peace and Happiness, they justly might have expected, in the administration of Our Royal Government among them; being now by the special blessing of Almighty GOD, happily removed: We have thought fit to let them know, That We still retain the same tenderness and good affection towards them: And as We will chearfully interpose Our Authority, in what may be for their good and welfare, and for securing the just Priviledges and Liberties of Our People; So We do expect from them, those dutifull returns of Obedience and Subjection to Our Person and Authority, which are suteable to their obligations and the duty of Loyal Subjects. And, conceiving that a Parliament, in its right constitution, will, at this time, be a ready mean for establishing a firm Peace to Our People, and for settling all Religious and Civill, all publick and private Interests. We have therefore thought fit to call a Meeting of Our Estates of Parliament, to be kept at Edinburgh upon the twelfth day of December, next to come. Our will is herefore, and We charge and command Our Heraulds, Pursevants and Messengers of Armes, to passe and make publication hereof at the Mercat Crosses of Our Royal Burroughs; And in Our Name and Authority, to warne all Our Nobility by themselves, and the Heritors of Shires (according as after publication hereof, they shall receive advertisement fra the persons contained in the List hereunto subjoyned) and Our Royall Burroughs to meet; and according to the Laws of Our Kingdom, to make choice of fit persons to be their Commissioners to this ensuing Parliament; and that Our Nobility, Commissioners of Shires and Burroughs, and all others having interest, do precisly keep this Meeting of Our Parliament, under the paines prescribed by Our Laws thereanent.

Given at Whitehall the tenth day of October, and in the twelfth year of Our Reign, 1660.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).
