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).

AMongst
other
the
advantages
of
these
Our
Kingdoms
,
the
Staple
Commodities
of
Wooll
and
Cloth
are
peculiar
thereunto
,
and
the
Manufacture
of
the
same
under
several
good
and
wholsome
Laws
made
and
Provided
by
the
Wisdom
of
Our
Royal
Ancestors
for
the
better
Regulation
and
Improvement
thereof
,
hath
justly
been
esteemed
a
principal
Happiness
of
this
Our
Realm
,
and
long
been
the
Envy
of
others
Nations
;
And
We
(
who
equally
desire
to
promote
the
Good
and
Welfare
of
Our
Kingdoms
with
any
of
Our
Royal
Predecessors
and
Ancestors
)
considering
that
nothing
can
prove
more
destructive
to
the
said
Manufacture
,
then
the
Exportation
of
Wooll
into
Foreign
parts
,
have
as
well
by
Our
several
Royal
Proclamations
,
as
by
a
Considerable
Charge
of
Our
own
expended
therein
,
shewn
Our
Gracious
Inclinations
and
Purposes
for
the
Maintenance
and
Encouragement
of
the
said
Manufacture
,
and
for
the
effectual
putting
in
Execution
the
Laws
already
made
against
such
Exportation
,
And
yet
the
Methods
taken
for
Prevention
of
the
great
Abuses
therein
,
have
not
hitherto
met
with
answerable
Success
;
But
the
said
Offence
is
now
become
a
most
notorious
and
common
Nusance
by
the
practices
of
divers
evil
disposed
Persons
,
who
being
neither
terrified
with
the
Severity
of
the
Laws
,
nor
yet
regarding
Our
Iust
Displeasure
conceived
against
them
,
do
Combine
among
themselves
,
and
together
with
others
,
Aliens
and
Foreigners
,
sometimes
by
Stealth
,
sometimes
by
open
Force
and
Violence
,
to
Export
and
Carry
out
of
Our
Kingdoms
of
England
and
Ireland
divers
great
quantities
of
Wooll
,
Wooll-fells
,
Mortlings
,
Shorlings
,
Yarn
made
of
Wooll
,
Wooll-flocks
,
Fullers
Earth
,
Fulling
Clay
,
and
Tobacco-pipe
Clay
,
wherein
they
are
also
Assisted
by
many
dissolute
and
desperate
Persons
in
great
numbers
,
insomuch
that
Our
Officers
and
others
duly
Impowered
,
and
endeavouring
to
resist
and
prevent
them
therein
,
are
often
in
peril
even
of
their
Lives
,
and
by
the
number
of
Offenders
are
much
discouraged
from
doing
their
Duty
.
And
whereas
divers
of
Our
Loving
Subjects
from
divers
parts
of
this
Kingdom
,
being
Traders
and
Dealers
in
the
Woollen
Manufacture
,
by
their
humble
Petition
have
proposed
to
Vs
,
That
they
are
willing
to
make
a
voluntary
Contribution
among
themselves
as
a
farther
means
to
Suppress
the
said
Offenders
,
and
for
that
purpose
have
humbly
besought
Vs
to
grant
them
Our
Royal
Licence
and
Authority
to
make
a
Collection
of
Moneys
to
defray
the
Charge
of
Prosecuting
and
Preventing
the
said
Offences
and
Mischiefs
,
which
Charge
will
be
very
considerable
in
regard
of
the
great
number
of
Offenders
throughout
Our
said
Kingdoms
;
We
therefore
out
of
Our
Gracious
and
Princely
Care
of
the
