Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
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).

THE
Prince
of
Orange's
Letter
TO
THE
ENGLISH-FLEET
,
AND
THE
Form
of
Prayer
Used
in
the
DUTCH-FLEET
.
Translated
from
the
Dutch.
To
all
the
Officers
and
Seamen
of
the
English-Fleet
.
Gentlemen
and
Friends
,
WHEREAS
we
have
fully
Impower'd
our
Truly
and
Well-beloved
Admiral
Herbert
;
we
hope
that
you
will
give
an
entire
Belief
to
whatever
he
shall
tell
you
from
us
.
We
have
publish'd
a
Declaration
containing
a
a
full
and
true
Account
of
our
Intentions
in
this
Expedition
;
since
it
is
evident
that
the
Papists
have
resolv'd
the
total
Extirpation
of
the
Protestant
Religion
in
Great
Britain
,
and
will
infallibly
reduce
you
to
the
same
Condition
in
which
you
see
France
,
if
they
can
once
get
the
upper
hand
.
You
are
now
at
last
sensible
,
that
you
are
made
use
of
only
as
Instruments
to
bring
this
Nation
under
Popery
and
Slavery
,
by
means
of
the
Irish
,
and
other
Foreigners
,
that
are
assembling
for
your
Destruction
.
Therefore
we
hope
that
Almighty
God
will
inspire
you
with
such
Thoughts
as
may
facilitate
your
Deliverance
,
and
preserve
You
,
your
Country
and
Religion
from
all
these
impending
Miseries
.
And
whereas
(
in
all
probability
)
this
can
never
be
effected
,
unless
You
joyn
with
Us
(
who
labour
for
your
Deliverance
,
)
we
do
expect
your
Assistance
herein
:
And
shall
always
remember
,
&c.
HVYGENS
.

ALmighty

,
and
for
the
Advantage
of
thy
People
.
Let
not
our
Sins
provoke
thy
Wrath
so
far
,
as
to
deny
thy
Servant
,
the
Prince
,
thy
Holy
Blessing
,
but
cover
him
with
thy
Grace
as
with
a
Buckler
;
direct
him
in
all
his
Counsels
,
to
the
end
,
that
being
blessed
with
Success
in
this
great
Design
,
he
may
employ
all
that
groat
Power
which
thy
Blessed
Majesty
shall
entrust
him
with
,
to
the
Honour
of
thy
Great
Name
,
the
Establishment
and
Advancement
of
the
True
Religion
,
and
to
the
Peace
and
Happiness
of
thy
People
.
Let
thy
Blessing
accompany
this
Fleet
;
Give
propitious
Success
to
our
Vndertakings
.
Vouchsafe
us
,
O
God
,
the
Father
of
Mercies
,
thy
Grace
,
that
every
one
of
us
in
particular
,
may
turn
unto
thee
with
our
whole
Hearts
;
that
we
may
sincerely
repent
to
all
our
Offences
hither
to
committed
against
thy
Holy
Majesty
;
and
that
they
may
solemnly
Vow
,
as
we
,
who
are
at
present
assembled
before
thee
,
do
,
to
use
their
utmost
Endeavour
,
that
our
Practice
may
be
such
as
becomes
the
Christian
Reformed
Name
,
and
that
our
Zeal
may
be
answerable
to
our
Holy
Religion
,
and
that
those
Holy
Principles
may
be
the
Rule
of
our
Life
.
Hear
us
,
O
Lord
,
in
and
for
the
Sake
of
thy
Son
,
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
,
in
whose
Words
we
further
call
upon
thee
:
