Petition to remove Sir George Jefferies from position of recorder of the city of London.
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).

To
the
Right
Honourable
,
Sir
ROBERT
CLAYTON
,
LORD-MAYOR
of
the
City
of
London
.
The
Humble
PETITION
of
the
Common-Hall
Assembled
.
May
it
please
your
Honour
,
WE
the
Commons
of
London
,
in
Common-Hall
Assembled
,
being
deeply
sensible
,
that
many
of
the
Mischiefs
and
Grievances
that
we
at
present
groan
under
,
are
occasioned
by
the
Misbehaviour
,
and
irregular
Carriages
of
some
of
the
principal
Officers
of
this
City
,
particularly
of
Sir
George
Jefferies
,
Knight
,
our
present
Recorder
,
who
,
by
very
confident
but
false
Affirmations
,
hath
endeavoured
to
mislead
the
Common-Council
,
in
Matters
of
highest
Moment
:
And
also
,
contrary
to
the
Duty
of
his
Place
,
and
the
greatest
Trust
reposed
in
him
,
hath
,
as
we
have
just
reason
to
believe
,
frequently
made
other
false
Suggestions
and
Misrepresentations
to
his
Majesty
,
of
our
most
Loyal
and
Dutiful
Actions
and
Demeanours
.
And
finding
that
he
hath
maliciously
contrived
,
to
subvert
one
of
the
great
Foundations
of
our
English
Liberties
,
by
menacing
and
threatning
Juries
,
thereby
to
make
them
bring
in
Verdicts
,
not
according
to
their
Conscience
,
but
his
own
Will
and
Pleasure
;
and
discharging
others
contrary
to
Law
,
before
they
had
compleated
all
the
Business
for
which
they
were
sworn
:
as
doth
notoriously
appear
,
by
his
late
and
terrible
Usage
of
the
Grand-Inquest
of
this
City
,
at
the
Sessions
of
Peace
holden
in
Guild-Hall
.
And
lastly
;
That
he
doth
frequently
affront
,
and
most
scurrilously
intreat
Witnesses
,
appearing
to
give
their
Testimonies
in
the
several
Judicatures
,
whereby
they
many
times
become
affrighted
and
confounded
:
Tending
to
the
great
Oppression
of
his
Majesty's
Subjects
,
to
the
Scandal
and
Dishonour
of
the
City
,
and
to
the
disquieting
of
the
Peace
and
Unity
thereof
;
to
the
perversion
of
Justice
,
and
dangerous
Prejudice
of
the
Publick-Weal
of
this
Kingdom
.
By
which
ill
Carriages
,
and
most
insolent
Behaviour
,
he
hath
rendred
himself
most
obnoxious
,
and
insupportably
burdensom
in
that
Office.
We
do
therefore
most
humbly
pray
your
Lordship
,
to
consider
with
your
Worshipful
Brethren
the
Aldermen
,
of
the
most
speedy
and
effectual
Way
that
can
be
taken
,
for
the
immediate
removing
of
the
said
Sir
Geo.
Jefferies
,
from
the
Place
of
Recorder
of
this
City
,
as
a
Person
dangerous
and
destructive
to
the
Publick
Peace
,
Vnity
,
and
Prosperity
thereof
:
To
the
end
that
some
other
more
fit
and
honest
Person
,
learned
in
the
Laws
,
of
known
Loyalty
,
Modesty
,
Integrity
,
and
undoubted
Zeal
for
the
true
Protestant
Religion
,
may
be
Elected
into
the
same
:
Which
,
We
humbly
conceived
,
may
be
the
best
and
most
expedient
Means
,
conducing
to
the
Remedy
of
these
Mischiefs
,
and
Preservation
of
the
good
Government
of
this
renowned
City
.
And
your
Petitioners
shall
ever
pray
,
&c.
