WHereas Information was given to His Majesty, That by the Examinations upon Oath of several Persons taken before a Committee of both Houses of Parliament, touching the Vnlawful and Indirect Giving, Receiving and Disposing of Great Sums of Money, for Procuring Charters for the East India Company, and otherwise relating to that Company, it appeared that John Robart was not only Concerned in the Receipt, but was also able to give Evidence of the Disposal and Application of Part of the said Money: Yet to avoid Iustice, and the Manifestation of the Truth, he, the said John Robart had withdrawn himself from his usual Place of Habitation, and Absconded, intending to make his Escape into Parts beyond the Seas; and His Majesty did thereupon, and upon the humble Address of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament Assembled, Issue forth His Royal Proclamation bearing Date the Ninth Day of May last, for Securing the Person of the said John Robart. And whereas Information has beén given upon Oath, That since the said Proclamation Issued, the said John Robart hath been several times of late seén in and about the Cities of London and Westminster. We have therefore thought fit, by the Advice of His Majesties most Honourable Privy Council, to Issue this Proclamation, hereby Commanding and Requiring all His Majesties Loving Subjects whatsoever, to Discover and Apprehend the said John Robart, who is a Middle Sized Man, of a Swarthy Complexion, Aged about Fourty years, wears a Periwig, and is a Foreigner, as may be discovered by his Speech; and to cause the said John Robart to be Discovered and Apprehended, and to carry him before some of His Majesties Iustices of the Peace, or Chief Magistrate of the County, Town or Place where he shall be Apprehended, who are respectively Required to Secure him, and thereof to give speédy Notice unto His Majesties Privy Council, or one of the Principal Secretaries of State, to the end he may be forthcoming, to be dealt withal and proceéded against according to Law. And for Prevention of the said John Robarts Escape into Parts beyond the Seas, We do Require and Command all His Majesties Officers of the Customs, and other His Officers and Subjects of and in the respective Ports, Maritime Towns and Places within the Kingdom of England, Dominion of Wales, and Town of Berwick upon Tweed, that they and every of them, in their respective Places and Stations, be careful and diligent in the Examination of all Persons that shall [...]ass or endeavour to pass beyond the Seas; and if they shall discover the said John Robart, then to cause [...]im to be Apprehended and Secured, and to give notice thereof, as aforesaid. And for the Encouragement of all Persons to be diligent and careful in endeavouring to Discover and Apprehend the said [...]ohn Robart, We do hereby further Declare, That whosoever shall Discover and Apprehend the said [...]ohn Robart, and shall bring him before some Iustice of Peace or Chief Magistrate, as aforesaid, shall [...]ave and Receive as a Reward the Sum of Two hundred Pounds; which said Sum of Two hundred Pounds, the Lords Commissioners of His Majesties Treasury are hereby Required and Di [...]cted to Pay accordingly. And We do hereby strictly Charge and Command all His Majesties Loving [...]ubjects, as they will answer the contrary at their Perils, that they do not any ways Conceal, but [...] Discover the said John Robart, to the end he may be Secured and Proceeded against according to Law.

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).
