  Yet that the Blind World may see our Skill , either in Astrology , or Coskinomancy ( that more Mysterious Art of the Sieve and Shears ) is not a whit inferiour to the busiest of our fellow-Students , we have resolved on the Question to oblige the Publique ( we mean Hawkers , and Coffee - Houses ) by delivering our Sentiments on the present Conjuncture of Affairs , induced hereunto ; for that not only our Brother , the Apollo of Clerkenwel Green , hath for some time disappeared to Mortals , being ( as we are credibly informed ) gone to Visit his Nurse at the Antipodes , but also because the heretofore active G●osequil of our beloved Pupil , the renowned Poor R●bin , is of late grown Dry and Stubbed , yielding little more than the Dregs of Red-Lettice Wit , or nauseous Repetitions .

  A vindication of The character of a popish successor, in a reply to two pretended ansvvers to it by the author of the character.

summary:
  And all this lyes again at the Parliaments door , because they have endeavoured for the good of the Kingdom to disinherit a Popish Successor , and have not supplied the King with moneys , tho' at the same time they have declared , if his Majesty will be graciously pleased to join with them , and bar all the pretence of Papists to this English Diadem , secure their fears by passing that one Bill against that Prince , whose succession is the terror and distraction of this Nation ; an Act in which consists the peace , the safety , and the glory of three Kingdoms ; let him but be removed from all pretensions to this Crown , which justly may be done by King and Parliament , and they will open their purses so wide to Him , give Him that Mass of Wealth , as will make Him both fear'd abroad , and beloved at home . Truly 't is hard indeed ; but the circumstances of this Nation considered , not at all to be wondred at : for I believe all men of sense , as well as Sir Poll , as he calls him , will take it for granted , that if this Popish Heir comes to the Crown , he will by the dictates of that Religion , in spight of Vows and Covenants , promote the Romish Interest with all the severity , injustice , and tyranny , that most religious Cruelty can invent .

  The character of a popish successour compleat in defence of the first part, against two answers, one written by Mr. L'Estrange, called The papist in masquerade, &c., and another by an unknown hand.

summary:
  Now one Remark I would make upon this Sigismond , to continue the parallel to our Case : He was a Prince in his nature as Heroick as we have or can have a Popish Heir , worthy of all those praises that either of these two Answerers have given the last ; and in short , to use one of their own words , A Prince for every thing else , bating his Perswasion , brave to admiration : Which one thing must more particularly witness for him , his being elected King of Poland , a Nation which we all know make their choice for a King out of the gallant , famous , and illustrious Worthies of all the Princes and Nobility through the whole Christian world . If so , and the King is Supreme Governor Ecclesiastick and Civil , and a Popish King notwithstanding shall alienate half his Supremacy to the Pope , then the Pope is co-King with him ; and that it may not be objected that Supream Ecclesiastick Power is not Kingly Power , where the Highest and last Appeal lyes , there lyes Royal Power , and therefore whilst the highest and last appeal in all causes Ecclesiastick , in such a Government is lodged in the Pope his Power is Royal.

Besides , Sir Walter Rawleigh did mediate his Favour , by a Discourse he sent him , proving no War could be so necessary or advantageous for England , as one with Spain ; alledging many Reasons and Examples , as well out of the Practice of Queen Elizabeth , as his own Experience ; no Prince else then , being able to pay for , or bear the Expence of a Royal Navy , which once in a Year he would without question accomplish by our intercepting some or most of the Plate-Fleet , all Nations besides ( at that time ) being but Sea-Pedlars : Wherefore , if Philip the Second cut off his own hopeful and only Son Charles , for but pittying the People of Flanders ; it can be no wonder , He should promote the destruction of a Stranger , that did so far applaud the advice of Rawleigh , as to say , No King but his Father , would keep such a Bird in a Cage .

summary:
  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. 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).
