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).

to
whom
these

Whereas
we
are
credibly
giuen
to
vnderstand
,
that
by
reason
of
grieuous
visitation
in
this
time
of
the
great
Contagion
of
the

amongst
Our
poore
Subiects
,
in
the
Cities
of
London

,
and
Borough
of
Southwarke
,
and
parts
adioyning
,
the
inhabitants
of
some

are
brought
into
such
distresse
,
as
that
the
Parishes
are
not
able
of
themselues
to
support

relieue
the
poore
of
the

,
and
to
prouide
for
the

for
the
necessary
watching

And

,
the
Justices

haue
done
their
best
endeauours
,
by
taxing
the
Parishes
and
Townes
adiacent

to

so
many
difficulties
haue
occurred

that
although
for

time
past
they
haue
prouided
in

competent
measure
,
yet
by
the
continuance
of
the
Infection
,
they
finde
the
burden
to
grow
euery
day
more

more
heauy
:
Whereof
Our selfe
being

twenty
fifth

last
,
haue
with

,
thought
fit

,
Villages
,
and
Priuiledged
places
within
the
said
Counties
,
not
extending
the
same
further
for
the
present
;
because
it
is
hoped
,
that
by
Gods
goodnesse
,
the
Infection
will
abate
(
the
Winter
season
,
and
cold
weather
now
approaching
)
before
it
shall
be
needfull
to
pray
the
ayde
of
more
remote
Counties
;
Not
doubting
,
but
that
all
good
Christians
,
duely
considering
the
misery
,
and
pitifull
calamity
,
which
so
many
poore
distressed
