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).

And whereas Complaint hath been made to His Majesty by several persons using the Trade of Potters in and about the City of London , and Suburbs thereof ; That notwithstanding the said Statute , several persons , as well Subjects of this Kingdom , as Foreigners , have presumed to Import , and daily do bring several great quantities of Painted Earthen Wares privately into the Port of London , and publickly into the Out-Ports ( where there is little or no care taken to prevent it ) to the inevitable ruine of many hundred of His Majesties poor Subjects , who get their Subsistance and Livelihood by the said Trade , and to the great hazard of losing the said Manufacture within this Realm ; the said Manufacture being made to as great perfection by His Majesties said Subjects , as by any Foreigners , and that for the most part with Materials of English growth : His Majesty therefore ( with the Advice of His Privy Council ) out of His Princely care of the Artificers of this His Kingdom ( to whom He resolves to give all good Encouragement ) and for prevention of like mischiefs for the time to come , hath thought fit by this His Royal Proclamation , particularly to take notice of the said Statute , and the Penalties therein mentioned , to the end that all persons concerned , may not for the time to come pretend ignorance thereof : And His Majesty doth also ( by like Advice ) by this His Royal Proclamation straitly Charge and Command all Merchants , as well Natives , Denizens , as Strangers , and all other persons whatever , not to presume at any time hereafter , to bring , send , or convey into the Kingdom of England , or Dominion of Wales , from any part beyond the Seas , any Painted Earthen Wares , be the same Painted with White , Blew , or any other Colours , by way of Merchandise , or to be Sold , Bartered or Exchanged , contrary to the said Statute , upon the Pain and Penalties therein expressed , and such others as can or may be inflicted upon the Offenders , according to the utmost severity of Law and Iustice . And for that end His Majesty doth hereby strictly Charge and Command all Searchers , Waiters , and other Officers of His Customs whatsoever , to use their utmost care and diligence to discover the Wares abovesaid which shall be Imported contrary to the said Statute , and to Seize the same , to the end such proceedings may be thereupon had , as shall be agreeable to Law , and as they will answer the contrary at their utmost peril .
