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
Kings
Majesties
Letter
to
the
Lord
Mayor
,
and
Court
of
Aldermen
,
of
the
City
of
LONDON
,
concerning
the
Choice
of
Common-Council-men
,
1661.
To
Our
Right
Trusty
and
Well-beloved
,
the
Lord
Mayor
,
and
Court
of
Aldermen
,
of
Our
City
of
LONDON
.
CHARLES
REX
.
RIGHT
Trusty
,
and
well
beloved
;
We
greet
you
well
;
Having
received
signal
testimonies
of
your
good
Affection
to
Us
and
our
Government
,
so
Antient
and
Fundamental
in
this
Our
Kingdom
,
whereby
the
Peace
and
Welfare
,
not
only
of
your selves
,
but
Posterity
is
most
highly
concerned
,
and
calling
to
mind
the
many
Contrivances
,
and
subtil
Insinuations
the
Enemies
of
our
and
your
Peace
have
formerly
set
on
foot
,
to
seduce
our
good
Subjects
,
and
thereby
cheat
them
of
that
Tranquility
which
they
enjoyed
in
a
wealthy
and
flourishing
Estate
for
many
years
together
,
under
the
Reign
of
our
Royal
Grandfather
,
and
Father
of
ever
Glorious
Memorie
;
and
to
the
end
such
horrid
Examples
,
as
of
late
have
been
used
,
the
Only
sources
of
those
unheard-of
Miseries
,
may
not
again
be
put
in
practice
in
these
our
Kingdoms
,
and
e●pecially
in
this
our
Native
City
(
for
the
good
prosperity
and
preservation
whereof
we
have
,
and
do
use
all
the
care
and
vigilance
we
can
)
We
have
thought
fit
to
let
you
know
,
we
are
not
ignorant
,
there
are
some
Active
and
Turbulent
spirits
in
that
our
City
,
who
do
not
value
,
as
they
ought
,
our
many
Acts
of
Favour
and
Grace
,
so
lately
vouchsaf'd
unto
them
,
which
we
well
hoped
might
have
reclaimed
,
and
not
hardened
them
in
their
wickedness
;
so
that
at
length
we
shall
be
forced
to
that
severer
part
of
Justice
which
we
have
hitherto
waved
:
It
were
no
hard
matter
for
us
to
paint
out
those
very
Wards
,
and
Persons
,
who
are
labouring
their
own
mischief
,
in
contriving
the
choice
of
such
to
be
of
the
next
Common
Council
,
●s
have
been
too
faulty
in
former
Transactions
,
and
are
known
Opposers
of
all
Regular
Government
,
●oth
in
Church
and
State.
We
do
therefore
hereby
Admonish
,
Require
,
and
Command
you
to
take
special
care
,
and
give
strict
Order
in
the
general
Wards
,
that
a
peaceable
and
quiet
Election
be
made
,
and
that
the
Choice
be
of
such
Persons
,
as
are
every
way
well
affected
to
the
established
Government
,
both
in
Church
and
State
;
if
otherwise
,
you
will
enforce
us
to
an
unwilling
change
of
such
Elections
;
and
We
cannot
be
blamed
,
if
We
are
thus
compelled
in
Matters
of
this
Nature
,
which
We
are
more
than
willing
to
forbear
,
and
do
still
hope
You
will
give
Us
no
cause
to
blame
You
,
or
trouble
Our self
in
that
Particular
.
We
have
thought
fit
to
give
You
this
Advertisement
,
to
the
end
our
good
Subjects
may
against
that
day
(
which
we
hear
is
not
far
off
)
bethink
themselves
who
are
the
fittest
Persons
to
preserve
Our
Peace
;
and
therein
We
will
not
omit
to
let
You
know
we
shall
esteem
it
as
a
Character
of
Your
loyaltie
to
Us
,
if
not
in
this
alone
,
but
in
the
Choice
of
all
other
Officers
,
You
appoint
such
persons
as
have
been
Asserters
of
the
Laws
established
,
or
at
the
least
,
not
Acting
Instruments
against
them
,
and
Our
just
Rights
,
and
such
You
cannot
want
in
that
populous
City
,
who
are
Free-men
thereof
.
As
to
your
choice
of
a
Bridg
master
,
We
shall
not
interpose
by
recommending
any
person
to
You
,
in
that
particular
,
but
hoping
You
will
follow
the
Directions
given
,
We
leave
it
to
Your selves
,
upon
this
Confidence
,
that
You
will
give
us
no
cause
to
repent
of
our
former
kindness
,
but
rather
,
to
repeat
new
ones
;
which
,
be
assured
We
have
a
very
great
desire
,
and
inclination
to
,
As
occasion
shall
be
offered
;
and
that
our
directions
herein
may
be
the
more
effectual
,
Our
pleasure
is
,
that
You
send
transcripts
of
this
our
Letters
,
to
the
several
Wards
of
this
Our
City
,
not
doubting
,
but
by
the
knowing
Our
desires
,
to
prevent
the
many
inconveniences
that
may
happen
by
ill
Elections
,
they
will
readily
comply
with
Our
pleasure
in
this
particular
,
and
so
we
bid
You
heartily
farewell
.
