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).

,
in
Name
,
and
by

of
the
Royall

,
Representing

as
one
of
the
great
causes
of
the
Decay
of
Commerce
amongst
all
Qualities
of

of
this

,
and
the
deadness
of
the
Forraign

Inland
Trade
thereof
,
to
be
the
great
scarcity
of
the
stock
of
Coyn
,
and
of
all
manner
of
species
of
Money
in
this

,
that
does
much
incommodate

Dealers
,
who
are
necessitate
to
deal
upon
Credit
,
wanting
the
supplies
of
species
of
money
to
maintain
the
same
:
which
Scarcity
having
been
occasioned
by
the
small
Quantities
of
Silver
that
used
to
be
coyned
formerly
In
Our
Mint
,
before
Our
late
happy
Restauration
,
and
the
frequent
Exportation
even
of
the
saids
small
Quantities
into
Forraign
parts
;
And
having
remitted
the
Consideration
of
the

Petition
to
a
Commitee
of

,
for
preparing
the
said

,
impowering

to
take
exact
tryal
of
the
fineness
of
Forraign
Coin
both
of

;
who
having
accordingly
conferred
with

seen
exact
Tryal
taken
of
the
Intrinsick
Finenesse
and
Value
of
several
sorts
of
forraign
Coyn
,
by
the
subtile
essay
taken

,
did
make
report
,
that

Duccatoon
,
the

much
finer
than

being
unwilling
to
restrain
the

coynes
presently
currant
,
while
our
proper
coyn
of
this
Kingdom
is
so
small
,
and
so
much
exported
because
of
its
fineness
;
And
finding
it
the
better

to
keep
out
course
forraign
coyn
,
by
allowing
the
said
finer

Coyn
to

:

species
of
money

the
Coyn

most
considerable
Trade
,
and
will
be
a
great
mean
to
inable
Merchants
to
return
money
