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).

The
True
Copy
of
a
Paper
delivered
by
the
Lord
De
—
shire
to
the
Mayor
of
Darby
,
where
he
Quarter'd
the
One
and
Twentieth
of
November
,
1688.
WE
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
of
the
Northern-Parts
of
England
,
(
whose
Names
are
here
under
written
)
being
deeply
sensible
of
the
Calamities
that
threaten
these
Kingdoms
,
do
think
it
our
Duty
as
Christians
and
good
Subjects
,
to
Endeavour
,
what
in
Us
lies
,
the
healing
of
our
present
Distractions
,
and
preventing
greater
;
And
as
with
grief
we
apprehend
the
sad
Consequences
that
may
arise
from
the
Landing
of
an
Army
in
this
Kingdom
from
Foraign
Parts
,
So
we
cannot
but
deplore
the
Occasion
given
for
it
,
by
so
many
Invasions
,
made
of
late
years
,
on
our
Religion
and
Laws
.
And
whereas
we
cannot
think
of
any
other
Expedient
to
compose
our
differences
,
and
prevent
effusion
of
Blood
,
then
that
which
procured
a
Settlement
in
these
Kingdoms
after
the
late
Civil
Wars
,
the
meeting
and
setting
of
a
Parliament
,
freely
and
duly
Chosen
,
We
think
our selves
obliged
,
(
as
far
as
in
us
lies
)
to
promote
it
;
And
the
rather
,
because
the
Prince
of
Orange
(
as
appears
by
His
Declaration
)
is
willing
to
submit
His
own
Pretensions
,
and
all
other
matters
,
to
their
Determination
:
We
heartily
wish
,
and
humbly
pray
,
That
His
Majesty
would
Consent
to
this
Expedient
,
in
order
to
a
future
Settlement
;
And
hope
that
such
a
temperament
may
be
thought
of
,
as
that
the
Army
now
on
foot
,
may
not
give
any
interruption
to
the
proceeding
of
a
Parliament
.
But
if
to
the
great
Misfortune
and
Ruine
of
these
Kingdoms
,
it
should
prove
otherwise
,
We
further
Declare
,
That
we
will
to
our
utmost
,
defend
the
Protestant
Religion
,
the
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Rights
and
Liberties
of
the
Subject
.
