THE COPPY OF A LETTER SENT FROM GENERALL LEISHLEY, to the Lord GENERALL the Earle of HOLLAND, and read in the Houſe of Commons,the 7th. of Iuly, 1641.
Printed in the yeare 1641.
I Give your Lordſhip hearty thanks that you have been pleaſed to acquaint me with your arrivall at Yorke, I had ſome notice given me before by our Commiſſioners of his Majeſties Commands, and the deſire of the Parliament, for that happy and peaceable ſervice your Lordſhip is now about. I am glad that I am at Darrington by accident, in that place where I may give the more ſpeed and incouragement, which your Lordſhip deſireth and expects from me. This ſhall be done with all poſſible diligence: For as at the firſt, the reaſon of ſending any Troops towards the Tees, was for inlargement of their Quarter, and the great eaſe of the reſt of the Biſhoprick; ſo now, the retyring ſhalbe to take away al jealouſy from the Army of our aboade in this part of the County: For although the ſtreightning of our Quarter wilbe both prejudiciall to the Countrey and us, yet God forbid it ſhould be2 made a pretext to make the leaſt ſtay to the good worke your Lordſhip hath in hand; and the further we remove from other in this end, we are the nearer to be joyned in all hearty affection for the ſervice of the King: Wherfore ſo ſure grounds of Hope are now layd, that all his Majeſties Three Kingdomes Enemies will have as much cauſe to feare the ill effects of our Union, as they had matter of rejoyceing at the too long laſting diſcord between us: And it may be ſo in all ages to come; which is the hearty wiſh and Prayer of

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).
Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.
