Die Veneris April. 17. 1691.

UPON further Consideration of the Petition presented to this House by many of the Freeholders and the Inhabitants within this City and Province,

Resolved, Nemine Contradicente, That Jacob Leister, Samuel Edsall, and divers others, Aiding, Assisting, and Abetting him, in Dissolving the Convention that was convened at the City of New-York for the Preservation of the Peace, the Execution of Justice, and the Security of this Province for Their Majesties Service, King William and Queen Mary, King and Queen of England, &c. was Tumultuous, Illegal, and against Their Majesties Right over this Their Province, being a Dominion of Their Crown of England.

Resolved,That the Imprisoning of Their Majesties Protestant Subjects into Doleful and Nauseous Prisons, and there keeping them by Force and Violence without any Commitment, or the Assigment of any Legal Cause, was Arbitrary, Illegal, and against the Peace and Dignity of Their Majesties Crown of England; and also a Violation of the Rights and Priviledges of Their Majesties Subjects inhabiting within this Province.

Resolved,That the proscribing, and the forcing Their Majesties Protestant Subjects to fly their Habitations, and forsake the Care of their Families, by which the Strength of this Province was much weakened, was also Arbitrary, Illegal, and Destructive to Their Majesties Interest in this Province.

Resolved,That the Depredations made by the French and Indians upon Schenectada, and other Plantations in the County of Albany, by which many of Their Majesties Protestant Subjects were Slain, their Houses burned, and several carried into Captivity, which severe Loss is only to be attributed to the Disorders and Disturbances that were raised by those who had usurped a Power contrary to Their Majesties Authority and Right of Government over this Province.

Resolved,That the seizing, and forceable taking away the Goods and Merchandizes from the Merchants and Persons inhabiting within this City and Province, was a Violation of Their Majesties Peace, and the Destruction of their Laws, and to the manifest Ruin of many of Their Majesties good Protestant Subjects within this City and Province.

Resolved.That the Levying and Raising of Money upon Their Majesties Subjects without Lawful Authority, is Arbitrary and Illegal, and against the Rights and Priviledges of Their Majesties Subjects inhabiting within this Province.

Resolved,That the Raising of Force, and keeping Their Majesties Fort of New-York against Their Majesties Officers and Soldiers lately arrived, was Rebellious, and in Prejudice to Their Majesties Right and Dominion of this Province.

Resolved,That the denying the Surrender of Their Majesties Fort to His Excellency after his Arrival, and the Publication of Their Majesties Commission to him, was Rebellious, and against the Dignity and Authority of Their Majesties Crown of England.

Ordered,For the Prevention of the like Mistakes and Disorders amongst Their Majesties Subjects in this Province for the time to come, that these Resolves be sent to the Governor and Council, with the Desire of this House, that they would be pleased to give the Concurrence of their Board thereunto.

Ordered,That an Address be made to His Excellency, of the Resolutions of this House to Support and Defend Their Majesties Right and Dominion over this Their Province, as it is now Established by Their Majesties Authority, in the Administration of His Excellency, with our Lives and Fortunes, against all Their Majesties Enemies.

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).
