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).

A
Letter
,
&c.
Gentlemen
and
Friends
,
WE
have
given
you
so
full
,
and
so
true
an
Account
of
our
Intentions
,
in
this
Expedition
,
in
our
Declaration
,
that
as
;
we
can
add
nothing
to
it
,
so
we
are
sure
you
can
desire
nothing
more
of
us
.
We
are
come
to
preserve
your
Religion
,
and
to
restore
and
establish
your
Liberties
and
Properties
,
and
therefore
we
cannot
suffer
our selves
to
doubt
,
but
that
all
true
Englishmen
will
come
and
concur
with
us
,
in
our
desire
to
secure
these
Nations
from
POPERY
and
SLAVERY
.
You
must
all
plainly
see
,
that
you
are
only
made
use
of
as
Instruments
to
enslave
the
Nation
,
and
ruine
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
when
that
is
done
,
you
may
judge
what
ye
your selves
ought
to
expect
,
both
from
the
cashiering
of
all
the
Protestant
and
English
Officers
and
Souldiers
in
Ireland
,
and
by
the
Irish
Souldiers
being
brought
over
to
be
put
in
your
places
;
and
of
which
you
have
seen
so
fresh
an
instance
,
that
we
need
not
put
you
in
mind
of
it
.
You
know
how
many
of
your
Fellow
Officers
have
been
used
,
for
their
standing
firm
to
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
to
the
Laws
of
England
,
and
you
cannot
flatter
your selves
so
far
as
to
expect
to
be
better
used
,
if
those
who
have
broke
their
word
so
often
,
should
by
your
means
be
brought
out
of
those
streights
to
which
they
are
reduced
at
present
.
We
hope
likewise
,
that
you
will
not
suffer
your selves
to
be
abused
by
a
false
notion
of
Honour
,
but
that
you
will
in
the
first
place
consider
,
what
you
owe
to
Almighty
God
and
your
Religion
,
to
your
Country
,
to
your Selves
,
and
to
your
Posterity
,
which
you
,
as
Men
of
Honour
,
ought
to
prefer
,
to
all
private
Considerations
and
Engagements
whatsoever
.
We
do
therefore
expect
,
that
you
will
consider
the
Honour
that
is
now
set
before
you
,
of
being
the
Instruments
of
serving
your
Country
,
and
securing
your
Religion
,
and
we
will
ever
remember
the
Service
you
shall
do
us
upon
this
Occasion
,
and
will
promise
to
you
,
that
we
shall
place
such
particular
marks
of
our
favour
on
every
one
of
you
,
as
your
Behaviour
,
at
this
time
,
shall
deserve
of
us
,
and
the
Nation
;
in
which
,
we
will
make
a
great
distinction
,
of
those
that
shall
come
seasonably
,
to
joyn
their
Arms
with
Ours
,
and
you
shall
find
us
to
be
Your
Well
wishing
,
and
Assured
Friend
,
W.H.P.O.
