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).
Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site .

From
his
general
or
Declaration
of
to
the
English
thus
delivered
to
us
by
a
faithful
Historian
,
who
lived
near
those
times

After
which
the
Historian
sayes
:
Omnes
got
the
Imperial
Crown
of
and
introduced
several
Arbitrary
Laws
,
as
new
tenures
,
yet
did
he
never
make
such
an
absolute
Conquest
,
nor
did
the
Kingdom
receive
so
as
our
English
modern
Authors
(
as
it
were
by
a
general
Consederacy
,
without
examination
of
truth
)
have
published
to
the
World
,
who
father
upon
this
revolution
all
the
alterations
which
their
conceits
or
fancies
can
imagine
and
suppose

saith
,
Men
receive
the
report
of
things
,
though
of
their
own
Country
,
if
done
before
their
time
,
all
alike
,
from
one
as
from
another
,
without
any
examination
;
In
like
manner
have
those
our
Historians
been
mistaken
,
by
transcribing
and
patching
out
their
Histories
one
from
another
,
so
that
in
conclusion
,
with
their
own
additions
or
comments
,
truth
in
many
things
is
utterly
lost
.
The
word
did
not
in
that
Age
import
or
signifie
what
our
late
Authors
by
have
since
made
it
;
nor
did
it
carry
with
it
the
of
the
Nation
,
after
that
had
obtained
the
Victory
against

being
no
more
in
the
Denomination
of

than
that

persons

possessions
,
both
in
his
time
and
in
the
time
of
the
Saxon
Kings
,
are
clearly
allowed
;
but
if
King
had
made
an
absolute
and
universal
of
the
Realm
in
the
modern
sense
,
how
could
such
Titles
have
held
,
or
who
would
or
durst
have
made
such
claim
,
even
against
the
King
himself
?
would
he
not
have
seized
all
into
his
own
hands
,
and
granted
the
Conquered
Lands
to
others
?
and
his
grant
could
not
have
been
avoided
by
any
Englishman
who
had
the
inheritance
and
possession
,
and
lived
in
peace
before
and
at
his
coming
in
,
and
no
title
could
be
derived
but
from
or
under
him
,
at
least
none
could
have
been
maintained
against
his
Grant.
But
that
the
contrary
was
true
,
will
evidently
appear
if
we
consider
,
1.
That
it
is
recorded
in

,
that
King
had
certain
Lands
in
Demesne
the
Lands
which
were
in
the
hands
of
King
and

other
Lands
,
which
were
forfeited

those
who
took
part
with

demands
his
right
in

Court

before
the
King

upon
this
reason
of
Law
,
that
he
never
was
against
the
King
,
either
before
or
after
he
came
in
;
whereupon
the
King

gave
judgment
of
right
against
the

recovered

that

large

to

as

by
himself
as
all
others

he

also
,
that
he

into
a
Conspiracy
to
make
King
,
and
to
deliver
King
to
his
Brother
alive
or
dead
;
and
thereupon
they
took
Arms
:
the
King
hearing
these
things
,
and
foreseeing
his
inevitable
ruine
if
the
power
did
not
preserve
him
,
caused
the

upon
this

assurance

promise
the

did
faithfully
assist

overthrew

But
whatsoever
he
promised
he
kept
but
a
short
time
,
the
words
of
the
Author
are
.
'T
is
therefore
evident
from
hence
,
that
the

did
not
claim
the
Crown
by
the
power
of

Sword
,
nor
did
he
