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).

A Worthy Panegyrick UPON MONARCHY ; Written Anno M DC L VIII . By a Learned and truly Loyal Gentleman , for Information of the miserably mis-led Commonwealths-Men ( falsely so called ) of that Deluded Age ; and now revived by One that honours the Author , and the Established Government of these Nations . I. IF wanting Wings one may ascend the Skies , And Phoebus view , without an Eagles Eyes ; Then Rouse up ( Muse ) from thy Lethargick Strains , And ( having first invok'd the God of Brains ) Let the Grand Subject of thy Measures be , No Soul to England like a Monarchy . * II. It is the Image of that Domination , By which Jehovah rules the whole Creation ; Angels nor Saints , do in his Kingdom share , God is Sole-Monarch , they , but Subjects are : Whose Laws are such , as when they did Rebel , Sequestred not , but sent them strait to Hell. III. As Old , as that Paternal Sovereignty , God plac'd in Adam , rul'd his People by ; Disown'd of None , but them whose Minds aspire , And Envy ONE should have what All desire : For be 't a Few or Many we live under , Such shall repine , still , whilst not of the Number . IIII. The Antients did a Monarchy prefer , Made all their Gods submit to Jupiter ; And ( when Affairs and Nations first began ) Princes DECREES were th' only Laws of Man ; Experience will avow it , where there 's any , One HONEST MAN is sooner found than MANY . V. The Rational Soul performs a Princes part , She rules the Body by Monarchick Art ; Poor Cranes , and silly Bees ( with shivering Wings , ) Observe their Leaders , and obey their Kings : Nature her self , disdains a Crowded Throne , The Body's Monstrous , has more Heads than ONE . VI. 〈◊〉 Monarchy's that Politick simple State , Consists in Vnity ( inseparate Pure 〈◊〉 entire ; ) a Government that stands , When others fall , touch'd but with levelling hands : So Natural and with such Skill endu'd , It makes ONE Body of a Multitude . VII . In Order ( wherein latter things depend On former ) that 's most perfect doth attend On Vnity : But this can never be The Popular State , nor Aristocracy ; For where or All , or Many bear the Sway , Such Order , to Confusion leads the way . VIII . A Monarchy more quickly doth attain The End propos'd ; for 't is the Single-Brain That ripens Councel , and concealeth best Princely Designs , 'till Deeds proclaim 'em blest . Whilst Numerous Heads are rarely of one Mind , Slow in their Motion , lowder than the Wind. IX . Treason , nor Force , so suddenly divides Th' Vnited Strength that in a Crown resides : Sedition prospers not , it seldom here , Results an Object of the Prince's Fear : Then when an Empire , Rome was ne'r so strong , Nor Triumph'd under other Rule so long . X. A Monarchy abates those Feverish Fits Of Emulation a Free-State begets : A Prince cannot his Reins so quickly slack , Or throw his Burthen on anoth●●● Back : But where so many Rulers 〈…〉 e Command , The Work 's transferr'd , and toss'd from Hand to Hand . XI . The People , or the Nobles to debate The deep Concernments of a troubled State , Set Times and Places have assign'd them , they First meet , and then adjourn from Day to Day ! Whereas a Monarch , who by Nature's ONE , Deliberates always , never's off his Throne . XII . But hold ! Me thinks I see the three Estates Conven'd ; thrown open Prison-Doors and Grates , Extinct our paltry Jealousies and Fears , Grace offer'd to All , but Cavaliers And — ! yet with Patience they abound , In Hopes of Better , now the Wheel go's round .

Britannia ab initio mundi semper fuit Regia & Regimen illius simile ille Caelorum .
