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.

BY THE KING. ¶ A Proclamation for the free and safe resort to the Markets of the Town of Cyrencester in the County of Glocester, and for the Indempnity and safety of His Majesties Subjects of that County.

WHEREAS by the late disorderly, and tumultuous proceedings of diverse Rebellious Persons heretofore assembled in the said Town of Cyrencester, Our good Subjects of the parts neere adjoyning, were hindered in their free recourse to the weekly Markets of the said Town, many of them being robbed, and spoyled of their Horses, Provisions, and Goods, in their resort to the said Markets, and Our good Subjects of that County, being generally threatned to be Plundered, if they would not contribute to the said Rebellion; so as for the Protection and releife of Our said Subjects of that County, We have been compelled at Our great charge to send a considerable part of Our Army to reduce that Town, the which, by the blessing of God, We have done, but are still necessitated to keep and continue a Garrison there, to preserve the Peace of that County, and to defend Our good Subjects from the violence of their Neighbours, who have associated themselves in this Rebellion; In consideration whereof, Our loyall and well-affected Subjects of that County, well knowing how unable We are to give them that Protection, without their mutuall Aid & Assistance for Our Support, and the maintenance of Our Army, have freely and voluntarily consented to a monethly Contribution for the purposes aforesaid; And for the supply of the said Garrison with necessary and competent Provisions, and for upholding of Commerce in those Parts, and for releife of the Inhabitants of the same Town, it is expedient to uphold the Markets in the same, and to give all encouragement and security to Our Subjects of that County. Our will and Pleasure therefore is, That three Markets shall be weekly held in the said town, on Munday, Wednesday, and Friday. And that it shall, and may be lawfull to, and for all Our louing Subjects of what condition soever, to resort thither, and to any other Markets within that Our County, with all their Provisions and Goods which they are desirous to put to sale there; And that there shall be free buying and selling in the said Markets. And We further Will and Command, That no Souldier or Person whatsoever presume, on pain of death, to hinder or molest any of Our Subjects in their free recourse or accesse to the said Markets, or to the said Town, vpon any other lawfull occasion, or to take away any of the Horses, Goods, or Provisions of any Person or Persons that shall resort to the said Markets, without payment of such prize for such Goods as shall be agreed upon between the owner and them. And We do hereby straitly inhibit and forbid all Our Officers and Souldiers to commit or use any trespasse or violence to any of Our Subjects of that County, upon pretence of disaffection to Our Service or any other pretence whatsoever, but require that their demeanor be such, that the Peace of the County may be preserved, and all offences and misdemeanors left to be examined and punished according to the Rules of the known Lawes of the Land, which, as much as in Us lies, shall be alwaies the rule and measure of punishment to Our Subjects.

¶ Given at Our Court at Oxford, this Tenth day of February, in the Eighteenth yeare of Our Reigne. God save the King.
