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).

and
Adam
Felton
,
Esq
;
by
the
New
One.
In
the
16th
.
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
The
Burrough
of
Thetford
was
incorporated
by
the
name
of
the
Mayor
,
Ten
Principal
Burgesses
and
Twenty
Commoners
.
It
was
directed
in
the
said
Charter
,
That
the
Mayor
and
Commoners
should
,
the
Wednesday
next
before
Michaelmas
day
in
every
Year
,
between
Nine
and

in

Chief
Burgesses
to
the
Inhabitants
,
who
are
to
Elect
one
of
them
to
be
Mayor
for
the
year
ensuing
.
NOTE
,
Under
this
Constitution
it
continued
till
1681.
at
which
time
John
Mendham
was
Mayor
,
who
having
got
an
Acquaintance
with
Sir
Lionel
Jenkins
,
then
Principal
Secretary
of
State
to
King
Charles
the
Second
,
did
in
the
same
time
of
his
Mayoralty
,
endeavour
to
incline
the
Corporation
,
to
chuse
such
Men
to
represent
them
as
would
serve
the
Designs
then
on
foot
;
but
finding
he
could
have
no
influence
over
them
,
and
that
the
time
of
his
Mayoralty
was
almost
expired
;
did
on
the
Election
Day
,
being
Wednesday
before
Michaelmas
,
absent
himself
till
he
thought
the
time
of
Election
was
over
,
thinking
thereby
to
make
void
the
Election
.
Yet
notwithstanding
,
the
Commonalty
did
assemble
themselves
,
and
did
name
two
of
the
Principal
Burgesses
to
be
Mayor
for
the
year
ensuing
,
of
whom
Wormly
Hethersett
(
being
one
)
was
elected
and
declared
Mayor
.
About
Eleven
of
the
Clock
,
Mendham
(
who
had
absconded
himself
)
came
and
appeared
,
and
being
told
they
had
made
choise
of
Hethersett
,
seemingly
approved
of
it
,
and
made
an
excuse
that
he
did
not
come
sooner
.
Nevertheless
Mendham
(
although
Hethersett
had
often
applied
himself
to
him
)
refused
to
swear
him
Mayor
as
he
ought
to
have
done
;
and
although
several
Mandamus's
were
sent
to
him
(
out
of
the
King's
Bench
)
injoyning
him
to
do
the
same
,
yet
he
disobeyed
them
all
.
Whereupon
he
was
brought
up
the
next
Term
by
a
Tipstaff
to
answer
his
contempt
,
and
was
committed
in
Custody
to
the
Tipstaff
,
from
whom
he
got
away
and
rid
down
Post
to
Thetford
,
and
there
called
together
such
of
the
Burgesses
,
as
were
of
his
Party
,
who
Disfranchized
two
of
the
Members
that
were
not
of
their
stamp
,
and
swore
two
new
ones
in
their
places
,
the
one
of
whom
stood
at
that
time
Excommunicated
,
and
the
other
Mendham's
Son
,
who
was
not
above
sixteen
years
of
age
,
and
who
did
immediately
vote
a
Surrender
of
the
Charter
,
which
they
but
just
before
swore
to
maintain
,
and
it
was
accordingly
Surrendred
and
Inrolled
in
Chancery
.
Afterwards
Mendham
Solicites
and
gets
a
New
Charter
,
wherein
himself
is
made
Mayor
,
and
such
others
added
to
him
,
as
would
serve
the
intent
of
a
Surrender
.
NOTE
,

at
thelast
Session
of
Parliament
,
in
a
hearing
before
the
Committee
of
Elections
