The Julian calendar, in use in the British Empire until September 1752. This calendar is used for dates where the date of the beginning of the year is ambigious.

The Julian calendar with the calendar year regularized to beginning on 1 January.

The Julian calendar with the calendar year beginning on 25 March. This was the calendar used in the British Empire until September 1752.

The Gregorian calendar, used in the British Empire from September 1752. Sometimes referred to as New Style (NS). Years run from January 1 through December 31.

The Anno Mundi (year of the world) calendar is based on the supposed date of the creation of the world, which is calculated from Biblical sources. At least two different creation dates are in common use. See Anno Mundi (Wikipedia).

Regnal dates are given as the number of years into the reign of a particular monarch. Our practice is to tag such dates with @calendar="regnal", and provide an equivalent date using a more systematic calendar (usually Julian) in a custom dating attribute.

Most MoEML documents, or significant fragments with @xml:id attributes, can be addressed using the mol: prefix and accessed through the web application with their id + .xml.

The molagas prefix points to the shape representation of a location on MoEML’s OpenLayers3-based rendering of the Agas Map.

Links to page-images in the Chadwyck-Healey Early English Books Online (EEBO) repository. Note that this is a subscription service, and may not be accessible to those accessing it from locations outside member institutions.

Links to page-images in the English Broadside Ballad Archive (EBBA).

The mdt (MoEML Document Type) prefix used on <catRef>/@target points to a central taxonomy in the includes file.

The mdtlist (MoEML Document Type listing) prefix used in linking attributes points to a listings page constructed from a category in the central MDT taxonomy in the includes file. There are two variants, one with the plain @xml:id of the category, meaning all documents in the specified category, and one with the suffix _subcategories, meaning all subcategories of the category.

The molgls (MoEML gloss) prefix used on <term>/@corresp points to a a glossary entry in the GLOSS1.xml file.

This molvariant prefix is used on <ref>/@target attributes during automated generation of gazetteer index files. It points to an element in the generated variant spellings listing file which lists all documents which contain a particular spelling variant for a location.

This molajax prefix is used on <ref>/@target attributes during the static build process, to specify links which point to MoEML resources which should not be loaded into the source page during standalone processing; instead, these should be turned into links to the XML source documents, and at HTML page load time, these should be turned into AJAX calls. This is to handle the scenario in which a page such as an A-Z index of the whole site would end up containing virtually the whole site inside itself.

The molstow prefix is used on @facs attributes to link to the HCMC verison of the Stow facsimiles. Usually the first group is the year (1633) and then last is the image number (0001).

The molshows prefix is used on @facs attributes to link to the copies of page-images from mayoral shows stored in the london account on the HCMC server. The first group is the year (1633), the second is the source repository, and then last is the image file name.

The sb prefix is used on <ref>/@target attributes to link to Stow’s Books URLs at UToronto.

Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.

Author A person or organization chiefly responsible for the intellectual or artistic content of a work, usually printed text. This term may also be used when more than one person or body bears such responsibility. MoEML uses the term author to designate a contributor who is wholly or partly responsible for the original content of either a born-digital document, such as an encyclopedia entry, or a primary source document, such as a MoEML Library text. Data manager A person or organization responsible for managing databases or other data sources. MoEML uses the term data manager to designate contributors who maintain and manage our databases. They add and update the data sent to us by external contributors or found by MoEML team members. They also monitor journals and sources regularly to ensure that our databases are current. Markup editor A person or organization performing the coding of SGML, HTML, or XML markup of metadata, text, etc. MoEML uses the code mrk both for the primary encoder(s) and for the person who edits the encoding. MoEML’s normal workflow includes a step whereby encoders check each other’s work. We use the term encoder to designate the principal encoder, and markup editor to designate the person who checks the encoding. Project director A person or organization with primary responsibility for all essential aspects of a project, or that manages a very large project that demands senior level responsibility, or that has overall responsibility for managing projects, or provides overall direction to a project manager. MoEML’s Project Director directs the intellectual and scholarly aspects of the project, consults with the Advisory and Editorial Boards, and ensures the ongoing funding of the project. Proofreader A person who corrects printed matter. MoEML uses the term proofreader to designate a contributor who checks a transcription against an original document, or a person who corrects formatting and typographical errors in a born-digital article. Note that we use the term markup editor to designate a person who proofreads and corrects encoding. Programmer A person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. MoEML uses the term programmer to designate a person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. Research team head A person who directed or managed a research project. MoEML uses the terms research term head and assistant project manager interchangeably. Transcriber A person who prepares a handwritten or typewritten copy from original material, including from dictated or orally recorded material. MoEML uses the term transcriber to designate the person or organization that transcribes a primary source. In the case of EEBO-TCP transcribers, we do not know the names of the transcribers. Acceptable names for this role are transcriber, first transcriber (often the EEBO-TCP transcriber), or MoEML transcriber. Toponymist MoEML uses the term toponymist to designate the person who identifies the place references in a text and points them to the right place in our locations database. The toponymist does not necessarily encode the toponyms. In most cases, the author of a born-digital article or the editor of a primary-source document will also be the toponymist. CSS editor MoEML uses the term CSS Editor for a person who adds CSS styling to the transcription of a primary source. We use CSS styling to describe the bibliographic features of the texts we transcribe. For further information, see our page on CSS styling. Guest editor MoEML uses the term Guest Editor in two ways: (1) an instructor who participates in our Pedagogical Partnership and edits content generated by their students; and (2) a contributor who solicits, coordinates, and edits a number of entries written by other contributors. Standardized renditions and fixed encoding. Transformed pb facs elements for EEBO-proquest transition. Collapsed element rendition using XSLT. Changed calendar value from "julian" to "julianSic" using XSLT. Published document. Made corrections suggested by DROU2. Finished copy-editing Drouin PPP documents. Standardized <respStmt>s for JENS1, MCFI1, and HOLM3 and added TAKE1 as Junior Programmer. Incorporated peer revisions. Added CSS styling. Copy edited encoding. Copy edited transcription. Created document. By the Master, Wardens and Assistants of the Companie of Ship-wrights.

VVHereas the remisnesse of former Gouernors in executing the ordinances established for the well gouernment of the Corporation, and their forbearance to leauy the fines imposed for breach of orders, according to his MaiestiesI.e., James VI and I. charge, and the ordinances thereupon made, makes many persons, especially of the better sort, insolent in their cariage and remisse in their duties: and notwithstanding that we who are now Gouernors, with a ioynt consent are in hand to redresse those grieuances which themselues complained of, and that many of them are eyewitnesses what good entrance we haue already made, in reforming of many disorders, and particularly for reliefe of the poore, and restraining the abuse of keeping exorbitant numbers of seruants, yet many do still persist in their obstinacie, supposing and reporting that our paines and present industrie is but a blaze which will soone vanish.

But we thinke it fit to let all men know, that forsomuch as a course is now setled by order of law for discharge and paiment of the Companies debts, which did heretofore hinder and distract all good proceedings, we do intend by Gods assistance (according to our dutie and oath) to go on in the effectuall setling of his Maiesties charge and ordinances within the riuer of Thames and Medway, and in reforming of all abuses and disorders contrary thereunto. And because the common workmen are wholy freed from paiment of the Companies debts, and are neuer henceforth to be charged or burthened with any more taxes or other impositions besides the ordinary duties of quarterage, admittance, presentments, and fines for breach of orders (according as is vsuall among all other Companies:For a full list of livery companies, see the Orgography.) we are to let them know, that from henceforth a more stricter account shall be taken of their irregular courses then hath been heretofore, and that we will proceed in managing the trust committed to vs without partialitie or sparing of any person whatsoeuer; and therefore we do hereby signifie vnto them and all others whom it concernes, that whosoeuer from the first day of May next comming, shall offend in the wilfull breach of any ordinance of the Companie, shall be sure to be censured and his fine leuied, without any fauour or conniuence; and hereof it is that we would haue euery one to take notice, for which purpose this order is printed and appointed to be set vp in euery mans Yard, that no man may pretend ignorance, especially in these six points following.

1. That whosoeuer hath formerly bound or enrolled his Apprentice at London or elsewhere, and brings not his Indenture to the Clerke of the Companie to be registred according to his Maiesties charge betwixt this and the first day of May next comming, shal be sure to pay his fine.

2. That whosoeuer from the sixt of Ianuary last (at which time it was ordered and publike notice giuen) hath retained or shall hereafter keep or retain aboue the number of two Apprentices, limited in the ordinance for that purpose, shall pay his fine of 5 l. without any further fauour.

3. That whosoeuer comes not to the Hall or place of meeting, vpon the first or second warning or summons by the Beadle or Officer of the Company, shall be sent for by a messenger, and pay his fine and the messengers fees before he be discharged of his arrest.

4. That whosoeuer bindes his Apprentise any where else then at the Hall, shall pay his fine of 40š without fauour.

5. That whosoeuer goes to Sea, and comes not first to the Hall to haue his sufficiencie approued and to register his name according to the ordinance in that behalfe, shall be fined accordingly.

6. That whatsoeuer Yard keeper or other shall set any stranger to worke, contrary to the ordinance in that behalfe, or shall imploy or continue in worke any person whatsoeuer or his seruant that is refractory to the Company, after warning giuen, shall pay the fine limited for that offence.

For the better keeping of good order, it is thought fit, that whosoeuer shall be from henceforth made free of the Companie, shall take out a copie of his freedome vnder seale, without shewing whereof no man to set him aworke.

Also, that whosoeuer from henceforth shall take any seruant, shall haue a warrant vnder seale, limiting how many apprentises he shall keepe, and his apprentises names to be endorsed vpon the warrant, to the end we may be sure to keepe all men within compasse.

We desire the second Assistants, and euery man else that heares of any stranger set to worke, or any one that keepes aboue the number he ought to keepe, or of any man that works for himselfe and hath not serued his time, or marries before his time be expired, or of any other abuse or disorder fit to be redressed, to giue notice to the Beadle or Officer of the Companie, who for that purpose is appointed once euery fortnight to go through all the Yards in the Riuer.I.e., River Thames.

Lastly, if any persons of the Company do find themselues agrieued in any thing, let them come in an orderly fashion and present their grieuances in writing, and they shall expect we will be ready to do them all the right and iustice that can be reasonably required.

God saue the King.I.e., James VI and I.
