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 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).

MOst Reverend Father in God , Our Right Trusty and Entirely Beloved Counsellor , We greet you well . The continuance of this extreme hard Weather , exciting Our gracious compassion towards the poorer sort of Our Subjects , so much the more as that We find in Our Cities of London and Westminster , and in the Parishes within the Bills of Mortality , that the very great number of such as by reason of the Weather cannot Work at their Trades and usual Employments , hath in a manner exhausted all Provisions and Charities that have been hitherto made for them ; We have therefore thought it necessary at this time heartily to recommend unto you , and We do hereby expresly will and require you to take care , that as soon as it is possible a Collection be made of the Alms and Benevolence of all charitable and well disposed People within your Diocess of Canterbury ; And that all the Moneys that shall be so Collected , being returned to your hands , be by you distributed ( taking along with you the Notices that Our Right Trusty and Welbeloved Counsellor the Bishop of London will be able to give you , he having already distributed great Sums of Money upon this Charity ) among such Poor as live within Our Cities of London and Westminster , and the Parishes within the Bills of Mortality ; And that among them a special regard be had ( as We have already directed the said Bishop of London ) to poor Seamen , Watermen , and indigent House-keepers . We doubt not but upon this occasion you will call earnestly upon the Clergy of your Diocess , to do their part herein , with a Diligence and Zeal suitable to the Charity of the Work , and the great Exigency of the Time. And so We bid you very heartily farewel . Given at Our Court at Whitehall the second day of February 1683 , in the Six and Thirtieth Year of Our Reign .
