Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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.

Ioyfull Nevves from NORVVICH.

THe Earle of Lindsey having ever since the beginning of this Parliament, been very active in his plots and designes against the Parliament, and so consequently against the peace of the Kingdom; first, in his practises against Hull and Sir John Hothon. Secondly, against the Earle of Warwick using many many malignant endeavours to seduce the people of the County of York to make breach of their allegiance to his Majesty in perswading them to take armes against his Majesty underpretence of standing for him. Thirdly, in councelling his Majesty to ingage himselfe in a war against his Parliament, to the utter confusion of the peace of the Kingdom and the ruine, and almost inevitable destruction of his Majesty and Royall posterity. Likewise in causing them to make breach of their duties to the Parliament to whom they had resign'd al power & to whō they had promised to stand close, animating them on, severall Petitions, promising them to hazard their lives and fortunes in their defence, that by the seducement of the said Earle they are misled, and have taken armes (as is feared) to be imployed against the Parliament. And as in Yorshire, so he still persists in prosecution of his dishonorable practises for in Norfolk, he by his ministers hath endeavoured to raise a party in several eminent places of the said County as Norwich, Atleborrow, Yarmouth, Linne, Thetford, Downam and many other places in the said County.

VVhich ministers of his promised great reward to those that would be assistant to their designe, but the inhabitants of the said County that were well affected knowing the great Detriment that such actions might bee to the proceedings of Parliament, and the peace of the Kingdome they thought it best to take a speedy course to prevent such a growing danger wherefore they cald the aforesaid Officers to question, demanding whether they had Authority from the Parliament to doe what they had done: who endeavoured to put them off with faire excuses and the like, from whence they gather'd that their designe was counterfeit and not warrantable.

Wherefore they seized on them carried them before the Major, who after their examination (which was that they was impeached by the Earle of Lindsey) they were committed to custody, and a Messenger dispatched to the Perliament, to certifie of their proceedings.

Which the Lords and Commons taking into consideration, caused them to be brought before them, who having examined them sent them to the Gatehouse, where they remaine till that they shall have time to passe a censure upon them suiting their desert; likewise the Gentry and Commonalty of Norfolke are resolved to stand firme for the Parliament, against the malignant party of this Kingdome, the Kings safety, the Parliaments Security and Kingdomes future Peace, and blessed prosperity, and of the Kingdome depending on the proceedings of this Parliament.

Also the blest injoyment of the true Protestant Religion, and all that is neere or deare unto us, our wives, children, the inheritance of our Fore-fathers being all destined to utter ruine, and destruction by the malignant party of this Kingdome, who doe daily endeavour to confound this Parliament, and by that meanes to take away all possibilitie of our ever redeeming our selves from living under an arbitrary government.

Also the Lords and Commons doe declare that all their endeavours tend to the preversion of the sa • d designes, and to establish a peaceable and quiet government in this Kingdome, a true settlement of Religion, and the mainteanance of the Antient Lawes and liberties of the Subject.

Newes being brought to the High Court of Parliament, that there was great store of Ammunition at Cobham-Hall in Kent for some private designes, they appointed Serjeant Major Skipton to elect a sufficient Guard of Musketeeres and Horse, and to goe to see whether those informations given were true, who being arrived there, found five wagons of Ammunition, of all sorts, as Pikes, Musquets Pettronells, and one wagon of money, which they ceised on the keeper of Cobham▪Hall, fled to a Town three miles off, but they pursued Him and tooke him whome they have brought up to London to bee examined, what designe these. Armes were provided for.

These Waggons were brought from Cobham-Hall in Kent by Serjeant Major Skipton to Guild Hall on Monday the 15. of August 1642. there to be kept for the Parliaments use.

God grant that all those that digg pitts for the Parliament may like these conspirators fall therein themselves.
