<editorialDecl>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>Keying and markup guidelines are available at the <ref target="http://www.textcreationpartnership.org/docs/.">Text Creation Partnership web site</ref>.</p>

were set upon by a great number of Cavaliers who suddenly issued out of a wood; but the Voluntiers having their muskets charged, by reason they were benighted, immediately gave fire against them, the Diers and Butchers being in the foremost ranks neere the front, who so fast sent the bullets amongst them, that the Cavaliers were glad to betake them to flight, leaving behind them twenty or thirty brave horses which were wounded.</p>
<p>Never was any Kingdom more infested with monsters then this of ours in these distempe<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>red and disasterous times, wherein (like <hi>Africa</hi>) it abound with new monsters, which viper-like even teare out the bowels of their mother-nati<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>on that first gave them being. There is scarce a day wherein some State-ruining plot or other is not detected. Their deeds of darknesse are for the most part (blessed be the Father of lights) brought to light. See an example of it in this dayes discovery: in <hi>Salisbury-Court</hi> in <hi>London</hi> the 19. of this present August, in a Lords stable under a great hay-mow was found foure cart loads of all sorts of ammunition for war, which was taken away and carried into Guild-Hall. There were also three carts loaden with ammunition powder and shot taken from the Cavaliers (and carried into <hi>Coventry</hi>) as it was carrying out of <hi>Leicestershire</hi> to <hi>Warwick,</hi> the manner wherof you may see in this ensuing Letter.</p>

<head>The true Copie of a Leter sent from Leicestershire by <hi>William Burton</hi> a Messenger of the Parli<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ament to a Gentleman in <hi>London.</hi>

<p>IN the first place give me leave in a sociable way to co<g ref="char:cmbAbbrStroke">̄</g>mmend my best respects to your selfe and your kinde wife, hoping of your peaceable quietnesse, though you intend de<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>fence, both for your selves, and us here in <hi>Leicester, Warwicke,</hi> and <hi>Northamptonshire.</hi> All which Counties are now in such distra<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ctions as they despaire for want of reliefe and aid from you, I meane the Head at <hi>Westmin<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ster,</hi> on whom our shoulders relied to stand, for want whereof many are revolted: some stand still, and more in desperate feare for want of encouragement: So that upon Friday last when I was at <hi>Daventry,</hi> I understood that many Ca<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>valiers were come to <hi>Warwick,</hi> and there assaul<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ted the Castle so farre, as two men within the Castle were slaine, presuming to do more mis<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>chiefe with the foure peeces they got from my Lord <hi>Brook</hi> at <hi>Banbury</hi>: but (as God would have it) by overcharging two of them broke, and the third (as is supposed) was poysoned, so they did no more hurt: the fourth, being so little, could not reach the Castle, though they had before the overcharging shot down one of the Church pinacles. Againe, the Cavaliers the same day came to two or three little villa<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ges neere <hi>Rugby</hi> in <hi>Warwick</hi> shire, and disarmed
