         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

           the
           quarrel

           plainly
           betwixt
           Protestant
           and
           Papist

           the
           fiery
           tryal

           Parliament
           ,
           and
           their
           Votes
           ,
           declaring
           what
           you
           would
           now
           question

           Pray
           let
           me
           ask
           you
           ,
           When
           was
           there
           the
           least
           appearance
           of
           the
           D's
           .
           inclinations
           to
           declare
           his
           submission
           to
           the
           Church
           of
           England
           ?
           If
           you
           make
           not
           that
           appear
           ,
           What
           do
           you
           argue
           for
           ?
           not
           to
           satisfie
           the
           World
           that
           there
           was
           or
           is
           any
           such
           intention
           ,
           but
           to
           asperse
           the
           great
           Council
           of
           the
           Kingdom
           ?
           and
           certainly
           if
           the
           design
           had
           lain
           there
           ,
           the
           concern
           of
           succession
           to
           Three
           Kingdoms
           would
           have
           brought
           it
           into
           Act
           after
           so
           many
           fair
           opportunities
           ,
           and
           especially
           when
           the
           Parliament
           arrived
           at
           so
           high
           a
           pitch
           ,
           caused
           by
           the
           care
           for
           the
           Protestant
           Religion
           ,
           and
           those
           dreadful
           apprehensions
           of
           those
           horrid
           Plots
           discovered
           against
           his
           Majesties
           Sacred
           person
           .
           I
           assure
           you
           Sir
           ,
           if
           ever
           such
           an
           offer
           had
           appeared
           ;
           it
           would
           have
           been
           cherished
           with
           the
           greatest
           indulgence
           ;
           but
           this
           is
           too
           much
           to
           argue
           upon
           a
           
             non
             Entity
          
           ,
           for
           that
           Bill
           is
           gone
           ,
           and
           you
           need
           not
           question
           but
           when
           the
           Parliament
           meets
           ,
           and
           ever
           take
           that
           debate
           in
           hand
           ,
           the
           D.
           will
           have
           nothing
           offered
           but
           what
           is
           just
           ,
           with
           relation
           to
           establishing
           the
           Protestant
           Religion
           ,
           and
           the
           preservation
           of
           his
           Most
           Sacred
           Majesty's
           person
           ,
           and
           the
           Liberties
           of
           all
           true
           English
           men
           .
           Now
           ,
           Sir
           ,
           upon
           examination
           of

           pains
           ,
           I
           think
           you
           ought
           to
           ask
           God
           forgiveness
           in
           the
           first
           place
           ,
           for
           breaking
           his
           commandment
           ,
           
             Thou
             shalt
             not
             bear
             false
             witness
             against
             thy
             Neighbour
          
           ;
           next
           ,
           to
           answer
           to
           His
           Majesty
           for
           breach
           of
           his
           Law
           in
           Libelling
           ;
           and
           upon
           your
           Knees
           to
           crave
           pardon
           of
           the
           D.
           for
           your
           pitiful
           management
           of
           his
           Cause
           ;
           and
           for
           my
           part
           ,
           I
           shall
           throw
           you
           in
           my
           forgiveness
           for
           the
           trouble
           you
           gave
           me
