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).

have
the
Right
of

That
makes
nothing

Us
,
every

a
Burgess
by

Charter
of

,
and
most
Returns

there

under

the

,
tho'
they
Chuse

.

OBJ.
2.

That
Two
Judgments
of
Parliament
,
viz.
in
the
Years
1660
and
1688
,
are
in
favour
of
the
Mayor
and
Select
Burgesses
.

Answer

To
the
First
of
these
Judgments
we
Answer
,
That
the
Resolution
in
the
Year
1660
;
was
occasioned
by
one

Starkey's
mislaying
the
Records
of
those
Returns
abovementioned
,
as
appears
by
the
Report
of
the
Committee
,
1679.

As
to
the
Second
,
We
conceive
the
Case
in
1688.
was
grounded
upon
Necessity
,
the
Person
that
contested
the
Right
then
being
Speaker
of
the
House
,
and
hope
neither
of
these
Judgments
shall
be
able
to
set
aside
an
undoubted
Right
,
proved
by
so
many
Ancient
Returns
,
and
setled
further
by
Three
Resolutions
,
against
which
there
can
be
no
Objection
.

NOTE
1.

They
were
not
form'd
into
a
Select
Number
not
exceeding
Thirty
,
till
King
James
the
First
's
Reign
,
which
shews
the
Ancient
Right
of
Election
cannot
possibly
be
in
them
.

NOTE
2.

That
if
the
Select
Burgesses
should
be
admitted
to
have
the
sole
Right
,
then
in
Case
their
Corporation
were
Dissolved
,
either
by
Surrender
or
Forfeiture
of
their
Charter
;
the
Town
of
Windsor
could
send
no
Burgesses
to
Parliament
,
which
would
be
against
all
Reason
.
