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).

James's and Clarendon House , by Six persons armed and mounted on Horses , who forced him out of his Coach , and then caused him to be set on Horsback , behinde one of their Company , with intent to have carâ—Źied him to some obscure place out of Town , where they might with more privacy have executed their Villainous and Bloody Conspiracy , until , at last , the said Duke endeavoring to rescue himself , by disarming and dismounting him that rode before him , was very much wounded in that conflict , and now lies languishing under those Wounds , at his Lodgings in Clarendon House ; the bold Assassinates having made shift to escape all pursuit by reason of the darkness of the night : We have thought fit by this Our Royal Proclamation , to publish and declare , That whosoever shall discover unto Vs , or any of Our Privy Council , or any other of Our Magistrates or Officers , any one of these Six Persons , or any of their Aidors , or Abettors , and shall cause him to be Arrested and Siezed upon , He shall , for such his pains and diligence in this Affair , receive from Vs a Reward of One thousand pounds Sterling ; and moreover , shall be further esteemed and considered by Vs , as one who hath done Vs , a most eminent and most acceptable Service . And if any one of these Conspirators , shall after due consideration of the horror of this Fact , be so far touched with remorse of Conscience , as to discover himself to one of Our Principal Secretaries of State , or to any one of Our Privy Council , and declare his whole knowledge of this Conspiracy , and of the Authors or Abettors thereof , The ssaid Offender shall for such his discovery , receive Our Full and Gracious Pardon ; and also shall immediately receive from Vs , as a further Reward , the full Sum of One thousand pounds Sterling . And because it may be some good Means to promote the Discovery of these Malefactors , if it could be known , to whom a Brown Bay Horse , with a white Stripe or Blaze all along his face , or a small Pocket Screwed Pistol , garnished with Silver , and marked with these Letters T. H. Did or doth belong , both which are now to be seen at Clarendon House . Therefore , whoever shall discover the true Owner or Proprietor of the said Horse or Pistol , shall for such his Discovery , receive from Vs the Reward of One hundred pounds . And We do farther require all Majors , Sheriffs , Iustices of the Peace , Constables , and all Officers , Civil , and Military , and all other Our Loving Subjects whatsoever , That they be Aiding and Assisting in the Arresting , Seizing , and Discovering of the said Malefactors , whom We resolve to pursue , and bring to Iustice , as the Enemies of Our Crown and Dignity .
