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).

WHereas
divers
rude
and
disordered
Young-men
,
Apprentices
and
others
,
do
now
of
late
presume
and
take
to
themselves
a
Liberty
(
beyond
what
hath
ever
been
in
former
times
)
to
throw
about
Squibs
and
Fire-works
in
the
Streets
and
Publick
Passages
of
this
City
,
and
especially
in
Places
and
at
Times
of
greatest
Resort
;
whereby
great
and
intolerable
Mischiefs
are
continually
done
,
proceeding
sometimes
even
to
Murder
itself
,
(
as
is
too
too
evident
by
a
late
sad
Example
)
and
very
many
Persons
,
especially
Women
and
Children
are
terrified
and
affrighted
,
not
daring
to
adventure
themselves
in
the
Streets
for
fear
of
such
rude
and
barbarous
Usage
,
which
is
no
where
else
to
be
parallelled
in
the
whole
World
;
and
almost
all
Persons
of
Quality
(
upon
whom
the
Trade
of
this
City
does
very
much
depend
)
being
so
frequently
assaulted
in
their
Coaches
in
that
rude
manner
,
are
driven
and
kept
out
from
the
City
,
to
secure
themselves
from
those
dangers
.
Which
disordered
Practices
,
although
they
have
been
constantly
disowned
and
prohibited
by
the
Authority
of
this
City
,
yet
nothing
hitherto
hath
been
sufficient
to
prevent
them
,
to
the
great
Dishonour
of
the
Magistracy
of
this
City
,
the
great
Prejudice
and
Hindrance
of
the
Trade
thereof
,
and
the
Scandal
of
this
once
renowned
City
in
all
civilized
parts
of
the
World.
The
Right
Honorable
the
Lord
Maior
of
this
City
doth
therefore
think
it
fitting
,
and
necessary
,
and
highly
incumbent
upon
him
to
take
all
possible
care
to
obviate
and
prevent
so
rude
and
disordered
a
Practice
,
and
he
doth
hereby
streightly
charge
and
command
,
that
all
Persons
do
for
the
future
altogether
forbear
to
throw
about
any
Squibs
,
Fire-brands
or
Fire-works
at
any
time
,
or
upon
any
occasion
,
in
any
the
Streets
or
Publick
Passages
of
this
City
:
And
that
all
Masters
of
Families
within
the
same
be
very
diligent
and
careful
,
and
use
their
utmost
endeavours
to
keep
in
and
restrain
their
Children
and
Servants
from
doing
the
same
:
In
default
whereof
his
Lordship
is
resolved
,
and
he
doth
hereby
publish
and
declare
,
that
he
will
certainly
inflict
the
utmost
and
severest
Punishment
,
with
all
possible
rigor
,
upon
all
such
who
shall
hereafter
be
found
to
transgress
herein
.
And
wherever
any
person
shall
be
so
apprehended
,
besides
their
personal
Punishment
,
their
Parents
or
Masters
for
neglecting
the
Government
,
and
their
Remisness
to
contribute
their
Endeavours
to
the
Weal
and
Publick
Benefit
of
this
City
in
the
restraint
of
such
Rudeness
and
Abuses
,
shall
also
have
marks
of
his
Lordships
Displeasure
inflicted
on
them
.
Given

in
the
six
and

of
His
Majesties
Reign
