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).

WILLIAM
By
the
Grace
of
GOD
,
King
of
Great
Britain
,
France
and
Ireland
,
Defender
of
the
Faith
;
To
Macers
of
Our
Privy
Council
Messengers
at
Arms
,
Our
Sheriffs
in
that
Part
Conjunctly
and
Severally
Specially
Constitute
Greeting
;
Forasmuch
,
as
We
,
by
Our
Letter
,
under
Our
Royall
hand
,
dated
at
Kensingteun
,
the
twelfth
of
December
instant
,
have
signified
to
the
Lords
of
Our
Privy
Council
,
That
whereas
We
are
Informed
,
that
notwithstanding
of
Our
Answer
to
the
late
Petition
of
the
Councill
Generall
of
the
Company
of
that
Our
Kingdom
,
Trading
to
Affrica
and
the
Indies
,
which
We
think
ought
to
have
given
intire
Satisfaction
to
all
Our
Good
Subjects
;
Yet
there
is
on
foot
a
Design
of
Addressing
Us
of
New
,
on
the
same
heads
,
carryed
on
after
such
a
Manner
,
and
with
so
little
respect
to
Our
Government
,
as
gives
Us
too
just
Grounds
to
apprehend
the
Consequences
,
that
We
have
never
hitherto
denyed
Our
Subjects
their
just
Priviledges
,
nor
will
We
ever
discourage
the
Liberty
of
Petitioning
,
when
the
same
is
done
in
ane
Orderly
and
Dutiful
manner
,
But
that
having
fully
declared
Our
Mind
,
as
to
the
Subject
of
the
last
Addresse
,
We
cannot
but
take
particular
Notice
of
that
unusual
Method
that
is
taken
to
procure
Subscriptions
to
ane
new
one
,
And
that
some
Persons
,
who
signalize
themselves
in
carrying
on
the
same
,
have
given
no
Evidence
of
their
good
affection
to
Our
Government
.
And
make
it
their
Indeavour
to
lodge
the
late
misfortune
of
the
Company
,
on
Proclamations
emitted
in
the
West
Indies
,
tho
they
cannot
but
be
sensible
,
that
the
same
did
proceed
from
other
Causes
.
And
being
convinced
,
that
such
Practises
may
tend
to
Alienat
from
Us
the
Hearts
of
Our
good
Subjects
,
and
that
it
is
necessar
,
for
the
Support
of
Our
Government
,
and
preserving
the
publick
Peace
of
the
Nation
,
that
they
be
discouraged
and
prevented
,
We
did
therefore
Recomend
to
the
saids
Lords
of
Our
Privy
Council
,
to
signifie
and
make
known
Our
Displeasure
,
and
Dis-satisfaction
with
such
proceedings
,
and
to
take
the
most
effectuall
Methods
consistent
with
Law
,
for
discouraging
the
same
:
And
for
preventing
these
that
are
well
inclined
to
Our
Government
,
from
Joyning
with
them
,
Wherefore
,
We
,
with
advice
of
the
Lords
of
Our
Privy
Councill
,
have
thought
fit
,
that
publick
Intimation
be
made
in
manner
underwritten
,
of
Our
Displeasure
,
and
Dis-satisfation
with
the
foresaid
Proceedings
,
And
that
We
will
take
the
most
effectuall
Methods
consistent
with
Law
,
for
Discouraging
the
same
,
and
for
preventing
these
that
are
well
inclined
to
Our
Goverment
from
Joyning
with
them
,
OUR
WILL
IS
HEREFORE
,
And
We
Charge
you
strictly
