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).

His
Imperial
Majesty's
Letter
to
the
Pope
;
wherein
is
offered
,
his
Reasons
why
he
cannot
accept
of
any
Offers
of
Peace
with
France
.
Translated

Most
Holy
Father
,
WHat
deep
and
sorrowful
Impressions
the
great
Calamities
and
Miseries
of
the
present
War
,
which
all
Christendom
groans
under
,
have
made
on
your
Mind
,
as
also
the
great
and
special
Care
your
Holiness
takes
to
reconcile
the
exasperated
Minds
of
all
Christian
Princes
,
in
order
to
the
promoting
of
an
universal
Peace
,
has
been
given
us
to
understand
at
large
by
your
Holiness
Letter
,
from
the
8th
of
the
last
Month.
And
truly
the
great
and
increasing
Mischiefs
,
attending
a
War
that
has
been
rais'd
under
so
frivolous
pretences
,
moves
no
less
ours
,
than
your
Holiness
Fatherly
Heart
.
Yet
since
We
did
not
take
up
Arms
till
We
were
forc'd
to
it
by
an
unavoidable
Necessity
,
We
have
this
Consolation
left
us
,
that
(
calling
God
and
our
Conscience
to
Witness
)
we
are
wholly
free
from
the
Cause
of
it
:
Besides
your
Holiness
,
by
a
long
and
solid
experience
,
is
so
well
acquainted
with
the
remotest
Inclinations
of
our
Heart
,
that
you
'll
easily
conceive
,
that
We
can
suffer
nothing
with
more
Uneasiness
and
Impatience
,
than
to
see
the
effects
of
a
Natural
Tendency
to
Peace
and
Quietness
,
obstructed
by
the
ambitious
and
envious
Endeavours
of
France
.
As
yet
no
Obligations
,
Promises
,
no
not
the
most
Sacred
Oaths
could
prevail
with
that
Crown
to
keep
it
from
the
breaking
of
the
most
Solemn
Treaties
as
soon
as
they
were
made
,
for
to
pass
over
all
the
rest
,
the
Christian
World
knows
it
;
and
future
Ages
will
relate
it
with
astonishment
,
that
the
most
Christian
King
has
caused
himself
to
be
seduced
so
far
,
as
to
obstruct
the
Glorious
Course
of
Our
Victorious
Arms
over
the
Infidels
;
and
when
we
were
relying
on
his
Friendship
,
but
so
lately
renewed
,
and
consequently
not
at
all
standing
on
Our
Guards
,
to
Invade
Us
upon
a
sudden
the
second
time
with
his
Hostile
Arms
,
putting
all
to
the
Fire
and
Sword
,
before
he
had
acquainted
Us
with
his
having
the
cause
for
it
,
and
indeed
,
all
Divine
and
Humane
Laws
are
Violated
,
rather
than
France
should
let
slip
any
occasion
of
enlarging
her
Frontiers
,
or
to
hinder
Us
from
the
securing
of
Ours
,
and
to
deprive
Us
and
Christendom
of
all
Means
to
end
the
War
with
the
Turks
with
Success
and
Advantage
.
Thus
have
We
been
obliged
by
the
Most
Sacred
Ty
of
Our
high
Office
,
by
reason
of
that
most
Ignominious
League
between
the
most
Christian
King
,
and
the
Sworn
Enemy
of
the
Christian
Name
,
to
Unite
Our selves
with
Our
Friends
and
Confederates
against
France
,
to
the
Defence
of
Us
and
Our
People
;
which
Union
and
Confederacy
is
of
so
high
a
Nature
,
that
we
can
do
nothing
towards
the
Conclusion
of
a
Peace
,
without
their
Advice
and
Counsel
.
But
since
We
are
wholly
convinc'd
that
their
Inclinations
are
no
less
tending
than
ours
to
such
a
Peace
,
by
which
all
Christendom
,
according
to
the
Wesphalian
and
Pyrenean
Treaty
(
since
violated
by
France
)
may
be
restor'd
to
its
former
Quietness
and
Tranquillity
,
all
will
be
reduced
to
this
point
,
that
your
Holiness
will
be
pleased
to
employ
to
the
outmost
,
your
Fatherly
Care
to
prevail
with
the
French
King
as
the
sole
Author
of
this
War
,
to
restore
both
the
abovementioned
Treaties
,
which
he
himself
has
broke
.
In
Case
your
Holiness
can
obtain
from
him
these
so
just
Demands
,
there
shall
be
wanting
nothing
on
our
side
to
render
effectual
this
so
Holy
Design
of
your
Holiness
,
tending
to
the
good
of
Christendom
,
and
your
proffered
Fatherly
Service
for
the
promoting
of
a
General
Reconciliation
,
so
acceptable
to
Us
,
and
so
much
wish'd
for
by
all
the
rest
of
our
Confederates
.
This
We
have
thought
fit
to
reply
to
your
Holiness's
Letter
,
according
to
our
Zeal
for
your
Person
,
Praying
God
Almighty
long
to
preserve
your
Holiness
to
the
benefit
of
Us
and
the
Church
.
