         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).

           1693.
           
        
         
           I
           Am
           always
           Glad
           to
           meet
           you
           here
           ,
           and
           I
           could
           heartily
           wish
           that
           Our
           Satisfaction
           were
           not
           lessened
           at
           present
           by
           Reflecting
           upon
           the
           Disadvantages
           We
           have
           received
           this
           Year
           at
           Land
           ,
           and
           the
           Miscarriages
           in
           Our
           Affairs
           at
           Sea.
           I
           Think
           it
           is
           Evident
           ,
           That
           the
           former
           was
           only
           occasioned
           by
           the
           great
           Number
           of
           Our
           Enemies
           ,
           which
           exceeded
           Ours
           in
           all
           Places
           ;
           For
           what
           relates
           to
           the
           latter
           ,
           which
           has
           brought
           so
           great
           a
           Disgrace
           upon
           the
           Nation
           ,
           I
           have
           Resented
           it
           extremely
           ,
           and
           as
           I
           will
           take
           Care
           ,
           that
           those
           who
           have
           not
           done
           their
           Duty
           ,
           shall
           be
           punished
           ,
           so
           I
           am
           Resolved
           to
           use
           My
           utmost
           Endeavours
           ,
           that
           Our
           Power
           at
           Sea
           may
           be
           rightly

           the
           Future

           And
           it
           will
           well
           Deserve
           your
           Consideration
           ,
           Whether
           We
           are
           not
           Defective
           both
           in
           the
           Number
           of
           Our
           Shipping
           ,

           better
           Annoying
           Our

           our
           Trade

           which
           is
           so
           Essential
           to
           the
           Welfare
           of
           this

             My
             Lords
             and
             Gentlemen
             ,
          
        
         
           I
           Am
           very
           sensible
           of
           the
           good
           Affection
           wherewith
           you
           have
           always
           assisted
           me
           ,
           to
           Support
           the
           Charges
           of
           this

           ,
           which
           have
           been
           very
           Great
           ,
           and
           yet
           I
           am
           perswaded
           that
           the
           Experience
           of
           this
           Summer
           is
           sufficient
           to
           Convince
           Us
           all
           ,
           that
           to

           good
           End

           there
           will
           be
           a

           Our

           have
           Resolved
           to

           will
           not
           Doubt
