Reproduction of the original in the Goldsmiths' Library, University of London.
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
Proposal
concerning
the
COIN
.
THE
best
Expedient
to
hinder
(
as
the
Proposer
conceives
)
the
going
out
o●
our
Silver
whilst
we
have
any
Gold
,
is
to
make
it
the
Interest
of
those
that
deal
in
them
,
both
to
melt
down
and
export
as
well
the
one
as
the
other
,
(
if
they
may
not
be
Exported
in
Coin
)
for
melted
down
and
Exported
they
'l
be
,
let
what
Law
soever
be
made
to
the
contrary
,
unless
the
Occasions
beyond
Sea
can
otherwise
be
better
supply'd
.
For
the
Explaining
whereof
,
such
Gentlemen
as
do
not
yet
know
it
,
may
by
this
be
informed
,
that
in
the
Spanish
Dominion
,
whence
most
of
the
Gold
and
Silver
does
come
,
and
where
for
that
Reason
the
Proportion
in
value
is
originally
set
,
and
must
through
the
rest
of
the
World
be
allowed
,
is
as
16
to
1
,
and
so
4
Guinea's
coined
at
20
s.
each
,
(
as
they
are
in
this
Kingdom
)
comes
to
4
l.
Sixteen
Crowns
coin'd
at
5
s.
each
comes
to
4
l.
So
16
Crowns
is
equal
to
4
Guinea's
.
Now
suppose
4
Guinea's
coin'd
of
the
same
weight
they
now
are
,
should
by
Authority
be
reckon'd
at
1
l.
4
s.
apiece
,
they
come
to
4
l.
16
s.
Sixteen
Crowns
coin'd
at
5
s.
if
made
by
Authority
to
pass
for
6
s.
then
16
Crowns
comes
to
4
l.
16
s.
Which
makes
the
Par
equal
betwixt
Silver
and
Gold
,
which
always
will
have
,
as
it
ever
has
had
for
convenience
18
d.
or
2
s.
still
running
upon
it
,
so
Guinea's
as
aforesaid
,
set
at
24
s.
will
have
the
Currency
of
25
s.
6
d.
or
26
s.
Now
against
this
't
will
be
said
,
T
is
Raising
the
Standard
setled
by
an
Act
of
this
Sessions
upon
mature
Reasons
.
'T
is
not
altering
the
Standard
,
for
that
however
continues
;
't
is
only
giving
a
Currency
to
Silver
and
Gold
,
as
above
exprest
,
for
Publick
Convenience
,
'till
otherwise
provided
by
Parliament
.
And
as
to
the
Reasons
(
't
is
confessed
)
that
have
been
strongly
urged
to
the
contrary
,
they
are
to
be
answer'd
by
common
Convenience
,
and
the
word
Necessity
,
against
which
no
Law
ever
did
or
ought
at
any
time
at
all
to
prevail
.
As
to
the
Convenience
the
Publick
will
reap
,
Note
,
100000
l.
this
way
pays
120000
l.
at
present
,
of
which
the
Publick
will
have
the
Advantage
,
and
if
at
any
time
hereafter
it
should
be
found
needful
to
Reduce
the
same
Crowns
to
5
s.
again
,
't
will
be
then
but
paying
12
d.
apiece
to
every
Person
possest
of
such
Crowns
of
which
the
Publick
as
had
the
use
in
the
mean
time
,
so
it
may
the
better
by
the
Publick
be
repaid
.
And
note
also
,
The
Re-payment
of
the
Shilling
so
to
be
hoped
for
on
the
Crowns
,
will
hinder
their
either
being
melted
down
or
Exported
,
it
being
to
be
lost
if
they
be
.
As
to
the
Necessity
,
'T
is
agreed
on
all
Hands
,
that
whilst
Gold
goes
for
more
than
't
is
worth
,
and
Silver
for
less
,
the
one
will
be
hoarded
or
carried
away
,
and
the
other
left
to
go
by
it self
.
This
further
Satisfaction
't
will
give
,
To
Farmers
and
others
actual
Possessors
of
Land
in
the
Country
,
't
will
keep
up
the
Price
of
their
Commodities
,
viz.
of
Wooll
,
Cattle
,
Corn
,
Tinn
,
Lead
,
&c.
to
their
general
Satisfaction
,
because
they
will
be
thereby
enabled
the
better
to
pay
their
Rents
to
their
Landlords
,
who
for
that
Reason
't
is
hoped
and
believed
,
will
have
very
little
Cause
to
complain
.
Note
,
What
is
before
Proposed
is
no
way
Repugnant
to
the
late
Vote
,
That
Guinea's
shall
not
be
taken
or
paid
at
above
28
s.
and
may
yet
be
Enacted
this
Sessions
(
as
't
is
humbly
conceived
)
if
so
be
that
it
is
but
approved
.
