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).

A
PROCLAMATION
,
For
the
Security
of
MINISTERS
.
At
Edinburgh
,
the
thirteenth
day
of
June
,
one
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty
seven
.
CHARLES
,
By
the
Grace
of
GOD
,
King
of
Great
Britain
,
France
and
Ireland
,
Defender
of
the
Faith
:
To
Our
Lovits
,
_____
Messengers
,
Our
Sheriffs
in
that
part
,
conjunctly
and
severally
specially
constitute
,
Greeting
.
Forasmuch
as
We
,
by
divers
Acts
of
Parliaments
and
Proclamations
,
have
expressed
and
declared
Our
Royal
care
and
resolution
,
to
protect
the
Orthodox
and
well-affected
Clergy
and
Ministers
:
And
to
that
effect
and
purpose
,
a
Proclamation
was
issued
by
Us
upon
the
fifth
of
March
last
,
commanding
all
Heretors
and
Parochioners
within
the
Western
Shires
therein
mentioned
,
to
protect
and
defend
the
persons
,
families
and
goods
of
their
respective
Ministers
within
their
several
Paroches
,
from
all
affronts
and
injuries
to
be
committed
by
insolent
and
dis-affected
persons
to
the
present
Government
,
in
manner
,
with
,
and
under
the
certifications
and
pains
therein
contained
.
And
nevertheless
,
the
malice
and
rage
of
such
persons
is
so
implacable
against
loyal
Ministers
,
upon
no
other
account
,
but
that
they
are
faithful
and
obedient
to
Our
Laws
and
Authority
,
that
of
late
,
since
the
said
Proclamation
,
divers
outrages
have
been
committed
within
the
saids
western
and
other
Shires
,
by
invading
and
wounding
the
persons
of
several
Ministers
,
assaulting
them
in
their
houses
,
and
plundering
and
robbing
their
goods
,
to
the
great
scandal
of
Religion
,
contempt
of
Our
Authority
,
and
discouragement
of
the
Preachers
of
the
Gospel
,
and
is
a
great
incouragement
to
such
sacraligious
and
wicked
persons
,
that
within
the
Paroches
where
such
insolencies
are
committed
and
done
to
Ministers
,
there
is
no
wanting
persons
of
the
same
temper
and
principles
,
who
do
secretly
favour
and
comply
with
them
;
and
they
do
presume
,
that
the
Actors
with-drawing
,
the
Parochioners
will
not
be
questioned
,
and
that
they
will
not
think
themselves
concerned
to
prevent
or
repair
the
wrongs
done
to
the
Ministers
.
Therefore
We
,
with
advice
of
the
Lords
of
Our
Privy
Council
,
command
and
charge
all
Heretors
,
Life-renters
and
others
,
having
any
real
interest
and
rent
within
the
several
Paroches
of
the
Kingdom
,
whither
they
reside
within
the
same
or
not
,
their
Bailies
,
Chamberlains
and
others
having
trust
under
them
,
and
all
other
Parochioners
,
to
protect
,
defend
,
and
secure
the
persons
,
families
and
goods
of
their
Ministers
,
not
only
in
the
exercise
of
their
Ministerial
Function
,
but
in
their
dwelling-houses
,
or
being
elsewhere
within
the
Paroch
,
from
all
injuries
,
affronts
and
prejudices
which
they
may
incur
in
their
persons
and
goods
,
from
the
violence
and
invasion
of
any
phanatick
or
dis-affected
person
:
and
that
upon
the
notice
of
any
attempt
of
such
,
they
immediately
repair
to
any
place
where
they
shall
beat
such
injuries
are
offered
,
and
seize
upon
the
persons
of
the
committers
;
and
in
case
that
they
flye
out
of
the
saids
bounds
,
that
they
give
notice
to
the
Sheriff
or
any
Garrison
or
Forces
that
shall
be
nearest
to
these
places
,
that
they
may
pursue
them
till
they
be
apprehended
and
brought
to
tryal
:
With
certification
,
that
if
any
such
outrages
shall
be
committed
,
the
Actors
,
and
all
persons
who
shall
have
any
accession
to
the
same
,
and
shall
aid
,
assist
,
or
any
way
comply
with
,
or
shall
willingly
resset
and
conceal
the
delinquents
,
shall
be
proceeded
against
and
punished
with
all
severity
,
as
equally
guilty
with
the
invadors
.
And
farther
,
if
they
be
not
apprehended
and
brought
to
tryal
by
the
means
and
diligence
of
the
Parochioners
,

the
Minister
for

,
damage
and

,
such
a
