"Given at our court of Greenwich, the twentie eyght day of June, and of our reygne the thirteenth yeare. 1638."
Reproduction of original in the Town House (Aberdeen, Scotland). Charter Room.
Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
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).

FOR-SA-MEIKLE
as
We
are
not
ignorant
of
the
Great
Disorders
,
which
haue
happened
of
late
within
this
Our
ancient
Kingdome
of
SCOTLAND
,
occasioned
,
as
is
pretended
,
vpon
the
introduction
of
the
Service
Booke
,
Booke
of
Canons
,
and
High
Commission
,
thereby
fearing
innovation
of
Religion
and
Laws
.
For
satisfaction
of
which
feares
,
We
well
hoped
,
that
the
two
proclamations
of
the
eleventh
of
December
,
and
nineteenth
of
Februarie
,
had
beene
aboundantlie
fufficient
:
Neverthelesse
,
finding
that
disorders
haue
daylie
so
increased
,
that
a
powerfull
rather
than
perswasiue
way
,
might
haue
beene
justlie
expected
from
Us
:
Yet
Wee
out
of
Our
innatiue
indulgence
to
Our
People
,
grieving
to
see
them
run
themselues
so
headlong
into
ruine
,
are
graciouslie
pleased
to
trye
,
if
by
a
fayre
way
Wee
can
reclayme
them
from
their
faults
,
rather
than
to
let
them
perish
in
the
same
.
And
therefore
,
once
for
all
,
Wee
haue
thought
fit
to
declare
,
and
hereby
to
assure
all
our
good
people
,
that
We
neyther
were
,
are
,
nor
by
the
Grace
of
GOD
ever
shall
bee
stained
with
Popish
superstition
:
But
by
the
contrarie
,
are
resolved
to
maintaine
the
true
Protestant
Christian
Religion
alreadie
profest
within
this
Our
ancient
Kingdome
.
And
for
farther
clearing
of
scruples
,
Wee
doe
heereby
assure
all
men
,
that
Wee
will
neither
now
nor
heereafter
presse
the
practice
of
the
foresayde
Canons
and
Service
Booke
,
nor
anie
thing
of
that
nature
,
but
in
such
a
faire
and
legall
way
,
as
shall
satisfie
all
Our
loving
subjects
,
that
wee
neyther
intende
innovation
in
Religion
or
Laws
.
And
to
this
effect
haue
given
order
,
to
discharge
all
Acts
of
Counsell
made
thereanent
.
And
for
the
high
Commission
,
We
shall
so
rectifie
it
with
the
helpe
of
advice
of
our
privie
Counsell
,
that
it
shall
never
impugne
the
Lawes
,
nor
bee
a
just
grievance
to
Our
loyall
Subjects
.
And
what
is
farder
fitting
to
be
agitate
in
generall
Assemblies
and
Parliament
,
for
the
good
and
peace
of
the
Kirke
,
and
peaceable
government
of
the
same
,
in
establishing
of
the
Religion
presently
profest
,
shall
likewise
be
taken
into
Our
Royal
consideration
,
in
a
free
assemblie
&
Parliament
,
which
shall
be
indicted
&
called
with
Our
best
conveniencie
.
And
We
hereby
take
GOD
to
witnesse
,
that
Our
true
meaning
and
intention
is
,
not
to
admit
of
anie
innovations
eyther
in
Religion
or
Lawes
,
but
carefullie
to
mayntayne
the
puritie
of
Religion
alreadie
profest
and
established
,
and
nowayes
to
suffer
Our
Lawes
to
be
infrindged
.
And
although
We
cannot
bee
ignorant
,
that
there
may
be
some
disaffected
persons
,
who
will
stryue
to
possesse
the
hearts
of
Our
good
Subjects
,
that
this
Our
Gracious
Declaration
is
not
to
be
regarded
:
Yet
We
doe
expect
,
that
the
behaviour
of
all
our
good
and
loyall
Subjects
will
be
such
,
as
may
giue
testimonie
of
their
obedience
,
and
how
sensible
they
are
of
Our
Grace
and
Favour
,
that
thus
passeth
over
their
misdemeanors
;
and
,
by
their
future
carriage
,
make
appeare
,
That
it
was
onlie
feare
of
INNOVATION
,
that
hath
caused
the
disorders
which
haue
happened
of
late
within
this
Our
ancient
Kingdome
:
And
are
confident
,
That
they
will
not
suffer
themselues
to
bee
seduced
,
and
missled
,
to
misconstrue
Us
,
or
OUr
Actions
;
but
rest
heartilie
satisfied
with
Our
pious
and
reall
Intentions
,
for
mayntenance
of
the
TRVE

WHEREFORE
,
Wee
requyre
,
and
heartilie
wish
all
Our

,
carefullie

advert

these
dangerous
Suggestions
;
and
not

permit
themselues

blindlie
,
vnder
pretext
of

,
to
be
led
in
disobedience
,
and
draw

infinitelie

Our
griefe

their

which
Wee
haue
,
and
still
shall
stryue
,
to
saue
them
from

so
long
as
We
see
not
Royall

And
