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).

Full documentation of the original data capture process is available from the Text Creation Partnership web site. All versions of the texts are now archived and freely available for download. See the TCP Download FAQ for detailed information. The TEI P5 versions are also freely available from the TCP Github repository.

London, Printed for R. Smithurst, 1648.
Several Votes, Orders, and Ordinances, of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament for the setling the Peace of the Kingdom and the bringing to condign punishment the offenders thereof, &c.

THe House hereupon fell upon debate of the 11, Members, who were formerly put out of the House and passed these Votes, That the vote of that house of 3. January 1647. for revoking the Order of the 9th of Septemb. 1647. for disabling Commissary Lionell Copley to be a Member of the House, is of dangerous consequence, and tending to the destruction of the justice and peace of the Kingdom, and is hereby repealed.

The like vote that the receiving the other 10. Members when a charge of so high a nature lay against them, was un-parliamentory, and of dangerous consequence, and Voted null.

They likewise voted that the Vote of that house of the 30. of June 1648. whereby this house did concur with the Lords that for the opening a way to the Treaty with his Majesty for a safe and well grounded peace. That the votes of the 3. of January 1647. forbiding all addresses to be made to or from the King be taken off was highly dishonorable to the proceedings of Parliament, and apparently distructive to the good of the Kingdom.

Resolved, That the Lords and Commons do declare that they will make no further addresses or application to the King.

Resolved by the Lords and Commons assembled in Parlianent, that no application or addresse be made to the King by any person whatsoever without the leave of both houses.

Resolved that the Vote for revocation of the said votes was highly dishonorable to the proceedings of Parliament and apparently destructive to the good of the Kingdom.

Resolved that the Vote of 28 of July 1648. That a Treaty be had in the Isle of Wight with the King in person by a Committee appointed by both houses upon the Propositions presented to him at Hampton Court was highly dishonorable and apparently distructive for the good of the Kingdom.

The House then took into debate the Ordinance for setling the Militia of the whole Kingdom, and finding the Ordinance lately passed to be made upon design for distruction of this Army, and prejudiciall to the whole Kingdom, there being divers ill affected in severall Counties and some that ingaged in the last war intrusted therewith. They voted that the said Ordinance should be forhwith repealed, and that a new Ordinance be brought in for setling the Militia of the Kingdom.

They likewise voted that an Ordinace should be brought in for the repealing the Ordinance for settling the Militia of the County of Lancaster.

THe House this day according to former order had the Ordinance for repealing the former
