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).

THis
sudden
news
of
my
Execution
[
after
my
Reprieve
,
]
coming
so
unexpectedly
,
made
me
fear
I
should
have
more
severity
shew'd
Me
than
has
been
to
others
;
and
consequently
,
that
I
should
not
have
my
full
liberty
to
declare
my
mind
in
the
place
of
my
Execution
,
Therefore
I
have
briefly
exprest
my self
in
Writing
as
followeth
.
First
,
As
I
hope
for
Salvation
,
and
Benefit
by
the
Blood
and
Passion
of
my
Blessed
Saviour
,
I
most
sincerely
Protest
,
that
what
R.
Balron
and
L.
Mowbray
swore
against
me
,
was
absolutely
false
;
For
here
in
the
presence
of
the
Eternal
God
,
I
declare
I
never
knew
of
any
Consult
at
Barnbow
,
least
prejudicial
to
the
KING
or
Kingdom
;
Nor
Was
I
ever
at
any
such
Consult
or
meeting
With
Sir
Thomas
Gascoin
,
Mr.
Gascoin
his
Son
,
Sir
Miles
Stapleton
,
the
Lady
Tempest
,
Mr.
Ingleby
,
or
any
other
,
where
any
thing
was
ever
treated
,
spoken
,
or
Written
,
about
killing
the
KING
,
or
alteration
of
the
Government
;
Nor
did
I
ever
see
,
or
know
of
any
List
of
Names
of
Persons
mention'd
,
and
sworn
by
them
against
me
.
Secondly
,
Upon
my
Salvation
I
declare
,
that
I
never
have
been
in
my
whole
life
time
Guilty
,
even
so
much
as
in
Thought
of
any
Treason
against
his
Majesty
,
or
the
Kingdom
,
being
directly
contrary
to
the
Principles
of
our
Faith.
Thirdly
,
That
although
I
have
,
and
do
declare
against
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
as
it
is
worded
,
Yet
it
is
only
by
reason
of
some
Clauses
therein
contained
,
not
pertaining
to
Allegiance
;
And
therefore
,
if
an
Oath
,
containing
nothing
but
Allegiance
,
had
been
legally
tendred
me
,
I
should
have
thought
it
a
sin
to
refuse
it
.
Lastly
,
I
acknowledge
my self
a
PRIEST
,
and
to
have
about
15
years
performed
the
Priestly
Function
;
which
I
am
so
far
from
denying
,
that
I
thought
it
the
greatest
Honour
imaginable
.
Now
Dear
Country-men
,
having
made
this
Protestation
in
the
most
plain
and
serious
terms
I
could
,
without
all
Equivocation
,
or
mental
Reservation
whatsoever
;
I
appeal
to
the
Eternal
Judge
,
whether
all
good
Christians
ought
not
rather
to
believe
what
is
here
in
this
manner
sworn
by
me
in
my
present
Circumstance
,
than
what
was
sworn
by
my
Accusers
▪
whom
notwithstanding
,
I
beg
of
God
Almighty
to
Forgive
;
As
also
the
Jury
,
and
all
others
,
who
have
in
any
kind
concur'd
to
my
Death
.
Having
full
time
allow'd
him
,
he
spoke
much
more
(
with
a
clear
Voice
,
and
(
as
they
say
)
a
remarkably
Chearful
Countenance
,
)
to
the
same
Effect
,
declaring
his
Innocence
as
to
any
Plot
,
his
Loyalty
to
the
King
,
his
Charity
to
his
Neighbour
,
his
Love
and
Piety
to
God
,
which
he
expressed
in
Fervent
Prayers
and
Ejaculations
:
But
these
Particulars
not
being
by
him
committed
to
Writing
,
we
must
expect
a
more
verbal
account
of
each
from
those
Who
were
actually
present
at
his
Execution
.
Just
as
he
went
off
the
Ladder
,
he
was
distinctly
heard
to
say
these
words
,
Sweet
Jesus
Receive
my
Soul.
GOD
SAVE
THE
KING
.
