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).

By the Lord Lieutenant AND COUNCIL . ORMONDE ,

WHEREAS the sins of prophane swearing and cursing are offenses forbidden by the word of God , and do highly provoke his wrath , not onely against the persons that are guilty thereof , but also against the place where such crimes are permitted to pass unpunished ; And although there be a good provision made for punishing the said crimes , by An Act of Parliament made in this Kingdom , in the tenth year of the Reign of his late Majesty King CHARLES the first , entituled , An Act to prevent , and reform prohane Swearing and Cursing ; which if it were duely put in execution would quickly suppress , and restrain the liberty that wicked persons take to themselves to transgress the said Law , as now they do without fear of punishment ; & for that the Justices of the Peace , and such others as are intrusted with the punishment of these offenses , do in a manner totally neglect their duty herein , whereby the said offenses do daily increase to the offense of Almightly God , and scandal of the Government , and doth endanger the drawing down the wrath of God on this people , if Speedy course be not taken for the punishing of so great and crying offenses : We therefore the Lord Lieutenant and Council do by this our Proclamation require and command all Justices of the Peace , Mayors , Bayliffs , Head-officers , and all and every other person and persons intrusted by the said Act , to see the same put in Execution with all diligence and impartiality . And to the end the same may be the more duely effected , We the Lord Lieutenant will Nominate such persons , as We shall think fit in every County of this Kingdom to inform against , apprehend , and bring before the said Justi●●s of Peace , Head-Officers , and other persons by the said Act authorized to see the same put in Execution , the persons of all , and every such person and persons who shall offend contrary to the said Act , And assign them such allowances out of the forfeitures as shall be fit . And whereas by the said Act it is provided that the same shall be read in every Parish Church by the Minister thereof upon the Sunday after the Evening Prayer twice every year , which hath been of late neglected ; We do therefore by this Proclamation require and Command the Ministers of all and every the respective Parishes in this Kingdom , that they cause the said Act to be publicquely read as by the Statute is required , on the first Sunday after the publication hereof , and after publicquely to read the same yearly in such manner as by the said Act is prescribed .
