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).

AS
the

And

So
are

likewise
thought

,
that

,
and

TO
THE
KINGS
MOST
EXCELLENT
MAIESTIE
.
WHereas
it
hath
pleased
your
MAIESTIE
,
out
of
your
Royall
care
of
the
safety
and
welfare
of
your
Subiects
,
by
your
speciall
Command
,
as
also
by
Order
from
the
Lords
of
your
MAIESTIES
most
Honourable
Priuie
Councell
to
enioyne
the
Colledge
of
Physicians
to
renew
their
former
book
touching
their
medicins
against
the
infection
,
and
to
adde
vnto
and
alter
the
same
,
as
they
finde
the
present
times
and
occasion
to
require
:
Wee
,
the
President
and
Colledge
of
Physicians
,
in
all
obedience
to
your
Royal
Command
,
haue
often
met
and
maturely
considered
of
the
premisses
,
and
vpon
serious
reuiew
of
our
former
booke
,
haue
made
such
additions
and
alterations
as
wee
iudged
most
requisite
for
the
present
occasion
;
which
we
haue
caused
to
be
printed
,
and
now
most
humbly
present
vnto
your
most
Gracious
MAIESTIE
.
An
aduice
set
downe
by
the
Colledge
of
Physicians
,
by
his
MAIESTIES
speciall
Command
,
containing
certaine
necessary
Directions
,
as
well
for
the
cure
of
the
Plague
,
as
for
preuenting
the
Infection
;
with
many
easie
Medicines
and
of
small
charge
,
the
vse
wherof
may
be
very
profitable
to
his
MAIESTIES
Subiects
.
Doctors
,
Apothecaries
and
Chirurgions
.
THe
Church
orders
for
praiers
being
first
obserued
as
in
former
times
,
it
is
thought
necessary
that
by
the
gouernment
of
the
City
there
be
appointed
sixe
or
fowre
Doctors
at
least
,
who
may
apply
themselues
to
the
cure
of
the
Infected
:
and
that
these
Doctors
bee
stipendiaries
to
the
City
for
their
liues
:
and
that
to
each
Doctor
there
be
assigned
two
Apothecaries
and
three
Chirurgions
,
who
are
also
to
be
stipended
by
the
City
,
that
so
due
and
true
care
may
be
taken
in
all
things
,
that
the
people
perish
not
without
helpe
,
and
that
the
Infection
spread
not
,
while
none
take
particular
care
to
resist
it
,
as
in
Paris
,
Venice
,
and
Padua
,
and
many
other
Cities
.
And
if
any
Doctor
,
Apothecary
or
Chirurgion
stipended
by
the
City
shall
happen
to
die
in
the
seruice
of
the
attendance
of
the
Plague
,
then
their
widowes
suruiuing
shall
haue
their
pensions
during
their
liues
.
Men
or
goods
from
forreigne
infected
places
.
IT
is
likewise
necessary
that
there
be
care
taken
that
neither
men
nor
goods
may
come
from
any
suspected
places
beyond
the
seas
or
in
the
land
,
without
certificate
of
health
,
or
else
either
to
bee
sent
suddainely
away
,
or
to
be
put
to
the
Pest-house
or
some
such
like
place
for
forty
daies
(
according
to
the
custome
of
Italy
,
)
till
the
certainty
of
their
soundnesse
may
bee
discouered
.
Two
places
for
entertainement
are
to
bee
prouided
;
one
for
the
sound
and
another
for
those
who
are
infected
.
That
all
established
good
orders
bee
reuiued
.
THat
the
Statutes
and
good
Orders
made
and
formerly
published
against
common
Beggars
,
against
all
manner
of
Plaies
,
Bowling-allies
,
Inmates
,
Tipling-houses
,
Lestalls
,
against
the
sale
of
corrupt
flesh
or
fish
,
may
be
reuiued
and
strictly
executed
,
and
that
the
Skauengers
in
generall
,
and
euery
particular
housholder
take
care
for
the
due
and
orderly
cleansing
of
the
streets
and
priuate
houses
,
which
will
auaile
much
in
this
case
.
That
Dogges
,
Catts
,
Conies
and
tame
Pidgeons
be
destroyed
about
the
Towne
,
or
to
bee
kept
so
sparingly
that
no
offence
may
come
by
them
,
and
that
no
Swine
be
permitted
to
range
vp
and
down
the
Streets
,
as
they
frequently
doe
,
or
rather
not
to
keepe
any
at
all
.
It
were
also
to
bee
wished
that
the
Slaughter-houses
were
vtterly
put
from
out
the
liberties
of
the
City
,
being
in
themselues
very
offensiue
,
And
that
tunnells
in
Church-vaults
be
considered
of
,
and
the
depth
of
graues
.
To
be
ca●tolous
vpon
any
suspition
.
IT
is
to
be
feared
,
because
every
one
desireth
his
owne
liberty
,
that
none
will
giue
notice
of
any
suspition
of
the
Plague
against
themselues
;
wherefore
that
must
be
the
Ouerseers
care
,
vpon
any
notice
or
suspition
of
Infection
,
by
the
helpe
of
the
Doctors
,
Chirurgions
,
Keepers
or
Searchers
,
to
finde
out
the
truth
thereof
,
and
so
to
proceed
accordingly
,
but
not
to
depend
vpon
the
Testimony
of
women
Searchers
alone
.
The
care
to
be
taken
when
a
house
is
visited
.
THat
vpon
the
discouery
of
the
Infection
in
any
house
,
there
bee
present
meanes
vsed
to
preserue
the
whole
,
as
well
as
to
cure
the
infectted
.
And
that
no
sick
person
be
remoued
out
of
any
house
,
though
to
another
of
his
owne
,
without
notice
thereof
to
be
giuen
to
the
Ouerseers
and
to
be
by
them
approued
:
or
if
the
whole
be
to
be
remoued
,
that
notice
be
giuen
to
the
Ouerseers
of
their
remoue
,
and
that
caution
be
giuen
that
they
shall
not
wander
about
till
they
be
sound
.
The
house
that
is
known
to
be
infected
,
though
none
be
dead
therein
,
to
be
shut
vp
,
and
carefully
kept
watched
by
more
trusty
men
then
ordinary
warders
,
till
a
time
after
the
partie
be
well
recouered
,
and
that
time
to
be
forty
dayes
at
the
least
.
Caution
concerning
flying
into
the
Countrey
.
BEcause
many
masters
of
families
,
presently
vpon
the
visiting
of
their
houses
before
any
be
dead
,
fly
into
the
countrey
to
their
friends
,
by
which
meanes
the
plague
is
often
carried
into
the
countrey
:
That
no
man
shall
depart
his
house
except
it
be
to
an
house
not
inhabited
,
and
that
it
be
to
an
house
of
such
distance
as
that
he
may
conueniently
trauell
thither
without
lying
by
the
way
,
much
lesse
that
hee
send
his
children
or
seruants
and
this
to
be
done
,
by
the
approbation
of
the
Ouerseers
vnder
their
hands
.
That
such
also
as
remooue
into
the
Countrey
before
their
houses
bee
visited
,
haue
a
certificate
from
the
Ouerseers
of
their
parish
,
vnder
their
hands
and
seales
,
testifying
,
that
such
persons
were
not
visited
before
their
remoue
,
that
by
vertue
thereof
they
may
the
freeli●r
trauell
in
the
Countrey
,
and
be
more
readily
entertained
.
That
no
infected
person
be
secretly
conueied
out
of
any
house
:
and
in
any
such
misdemeanour
the
master
of
the
house
,
both
from
which
the
sicke
party
is
sent
,
as
also
the
master
of
the
house
into
which
the
partie
shall
be
receiued
without
the
licence
of
the
Ouerseers
of
both
parishes
respectiuely
,
shall
be
seuerally
punished
at
the
discretion
of
the
Ouerseers
.
Because
it
is
likely
that
the
better
sort
will
not
call
to
them
such
Doctors
as
are
deputed
to
the
Care
of
the
plague
,
vpon
the
first
fulling
sick
of
any
in
their
houses
,
lest
thereby
they
might
draw
greater
infection
vpon
themselues
▪
if
therefore
any
house
so
bring
other
Doctors
shall
happen
to
be
visited
,
that
then
the
Doctor
,
who
shall
ordinarily
take
the
care
of
that
house
,
shall
presently
cause
notice
of
the
said
infection
to
be
giuen
to
the
Ouerseers
,
that
care
may
be
had
thereof
by
the
Physicians
deputed
.
Buriall
of
the
dead
.
THat
one
being
dead
in
any
house
of
the
Plague
,
notice
be
giuen
to
the
Ouerseers
,
and
that
the
dead
party
be
buried
by
night
in
priuate
manner
;
yet
not
without

A
Proclamation
for
quickning
the
Lawes
made
for
the
reliefe
of
the
poore
,
and
the
suppressing
,
punishing
,
and
setling
of
the
sturdy
Rogues
and
Vagabonds
.
WHereas
many
excellent
Lawes
and
Statutes
with
great
iudgement
and
prouidence
haue
been
made
in
the
times
of
Our
late
deare
and
Royall
Father
,
and
of
the
late
Queene
Elizabeth
,
for
the
reliefe
of
the
impotent
and
indigent
Poore
,
and
for
the
punishing
,
suppressing
,
and
setling
of
the
sturdy
Rogues
and
Vagabonds
,
which
Lawes
and
Statutes
,
if
they
were
duely
obserued
,
would
be
of
exceeding
great
vse
for
the
peace
and
plenty
of
this
Realme
,
but
the
neglect
thereof
is
the
occasion
of
much
disorder
,
and
many
insufferable
abuses
.
And
whereas
it
is
fit
at
all
times
to
put
in
execution
those
Lawes
which
are
of
so
necessary
,
and
so
continuall
vse
:
yet
the
apparant
aud
visible
danger
of
the
Pestilence
,
(
vnlesse
the
same
by
Gods
gracious
mercie
,
and
Our
prouident
endeuours
be
preuented
)
doth
much
more
require
the

We

sicknesse
,
to

and
put
in
due
execution
,
all
the
said
Lawes
made

prouided
against
Rogues
and

And
