THE CASE OF Robert Weston, NOMINATED By the Committe, as Register and Clerk of the Court of Conscience, for the Division of the Burrough of Southwark, and Parishes adjacent.

Robert Weston an Inhabitant within the Burrough of Southwark, being a Person well known to Sir Peter Rich, Kt. and John Arnald, Esq Burgesses for the said Burrough, to be fitly qualified for Register and Clerk of the Court of Conscience, for the Division of the said Burrough and Parishes adjacent: And he being recommended for that purpose by several Hundred of the Inhabitants there (some of whom did formerly Expend considerable Sums of Money, in order to the obtaining a Court of Conscience there;) and he having prepared a Bill for a Court of Conscience there only; and since this Bill brought in by another Hand, for the setling Courts of Conscience in the City of Westminster, and other Out Parts of the City of London (and in which, to ease the Charge, a Court of Conscience for the said Burrough was included.) The said Robert Weston having attended this Honorable House, and the Committee, on behalf of the Inhabitants of the said Burrough, in order to procure some Alterations and Amendments in the said Bill, which the Committee judged reasonable, and agreed to. Sir Peter Rich and Mr. Arnold, together with rest of the Committee, to whom the Bill was committed, have Named him therein as Register and Clerk of the said Court of Conscience.

It is now Humbly requested, That you will be pleased to agree to the Bill, as to that particular; and continue him therein, he being capable of Executing the said Place of Register and Clerk, being brought up to the Law, and having so behaved himself from his very first beginning, that not only his Clients and Neighbours, but others, to whom he is known, will give this Honroable House as ample a Testimony for him (if it shall be required) as ever any Man of his Age, or Profession yet had.

He will likewise, to avoid any Colour of Clamor, Pay a proportionable Part of all such Charges as have been truly Expended in the procuring this Act.

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).
