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
French
King's
Declaration
of
WAR
against
the
Crown
of
Spain
.
Translated
out
of
French.
Ordonnance
of
the
King.
THE
sincere
desire
which
the
King
hath
had
to
maintain
the
Truce
concluded
in
the
Year
1684.
induced
His
Majesty
to
dissemble
the
Conduct
of
the
Ministers
of
Spain
in
the
Courts
of
all
the
Princes
of
Europe
,
where
they
laboured
nothing
more
than
to
excite
them
to
take
up
Arms
against
France
.
His
Majesty
was
not
ignorant
,
how
far
they
were
concerned
in
the
Negotiation
of
the
League
of
Ausbourg
;
and
was
likewise
informed
of
the
part
the
Governor
of
the
Spanish
Low-Countries
had
,
in
the
Prince
of
Orange's
Enterprize
against
England
;
but
not
being
able
to
believe
,
that
he
acted
therein
by
the
Order
of
the
King
his
Master
,
who
was
obliged
by
so
many
Reasons
of
Religion
,
of
Blood
,
and
the
Safety
of
all
Kings
,
to
oppose
such
an
Usurpation
,
His
Majesty
had
hoped
,
He
should
have
been
able
to
induce
the
Catholick
King
to
joyn
with
him
for
the
Re-establishment
of
the
lawful
King
of
England
,
and
the
Preservation
of
the
Catholick
Religion
against
the
Union
of
the
Protestant
Princes
;
or
at
least
,
if
the
state
of
Affairs
in
Spain
did
not
permit
his
Catholick
Majesty
to
enter
into
the
like
Engagements
,
to
observe
an
exact
Neutrality
;
to
which
end
,
His
Majesty
hath
,
since
the
Month
of
November
last
past
,
caused
several
Proposals
to
be
made
to
him
,
which
were
well
received
,
whilst
the
Success
of
the
Prince
of
Orange's
Enterprize
seemed
doubtful
,
but
these
favourable
Dispositions
disappeared
so
soon
as
it
was
known
at
Madrid
,
that
the
King
of
England
had
left
his
Kingdom
,
and
nothing
was
then
there
talk'd
of
but
a
War
against
France
.
His
Majesty
understood
at
the
same
time
,
that
the
Spanish
Ambassador
was
daily
with
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
sollicited
him
to
have
the
English
declare
War
against
France
:
That
the
Governor
of
the
Spanish
Low-Countries
raised
Troops
with
great
diligence
;
that
he
promised
the
States-General
to
joyn
them
with
their
Forces
at
the
beginning
of
the
Campagne
,
and
sollicited
them
,
as
well
as
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
to
send
Forces
to
Flanders
,
in
order
to
put
those
Countries
into
a
posture
to
make
War
upon
France
.
All
these
Advices
made
His
Majesty
think
,
he
ought
in
prudence
to
know
,
what
he
was
to
depend
upon
.
He
therefore
gave
Order
to
the
Marquis
de
Rebenac
,
his
Ambassador
at
Madrid
,
to
demand
of
the
Ministers
of
the
Catholick
King
a
positive
Answer
,
offering
him
the
Continuance
of
the
Truce
,
upon
condition
,
He
would
oblige
himself
to
observe
an
exact
Neutrality
,
and
not
to
assist
directly
or
indirectly
His
Majesty's
Enemies
;
but
the
Evil
Councils
having
prevailed
,
His
Majesty
was
informed
,
That
the
Resolution
was
taken
,
to
favour
the
Usurper
of
England
,
and
to
joyn
with
the
Protestant
Princes
.
His
Majesty
understood
likewise
,
almost
at
the
same
time
,
That
the
Prince
of
Orange's
Agents
had
received
considerable
Sums
of
Money
at
Cadiz
and
Madrid
;
that
the
Troops
of
Holland
and
Brandenburg
were
entred
into
the
Principal
Places
of
the
Spaniards
in
Flanders
;
and
that
the
Governor
of
the
Low-Countries
for
the
King
of
Spain
,
did
sollicite
the
States-General
to
cause
their
Forces
to
advance
to
Brussels
:
All
these
Advices
added
to
the
Answer
,
which
the
Marquis
de
Rebenac
received
at
Madrid
,
leaving
His
Majesty
no
room
to
doubt
,
That
the
Intention
of
the
Catholick
King
is
to
joyn
with
his
Enemies
;
His
Majesty
hath
thought
,
He
ought
to
lose
no
time
to
prevent
his
Evil
Designs
;
and
hath
resolved
to
declare
War
against
him
,
as
well
by
Sea
as
Land
,
as
He
doth
by
these
Presents
.
His
Majesty
,
for
this
effect
,
Commands
and
Enjoyns
all
His
Subjects
,
Vassals
and
Servants
,
to
fall
upon
the
Spaniards
,
and
hath
expresly
forbidden
,
and
doth
forbid
,
their
having
henceforward
any
Communication
,
Commerce
or
Intelligence
with
them
,
upon
pain
of
Death
.
And
to
this
end
,
His
Majesty
does
revoke
all
Permissions
,
Passports
,
Safe-guards
,
and
Safe-conducts
,
that
may
have
been
granted
by
himself
,
or
his
Lieutenant-Generals
,
and
other
his
Officers
,
contrary
to
these
Presents
,
and
hath
declared
,
and
does
declare
them
to
be
Null
,
and
of
no
effect
and
force
,
forbidding
all
persons
whatsoever
to
have
any
regard
thereunto
.
