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).

Defender

To

Our

Subjects
,
Greeting
:
Forasmuch
as
Almighty
God
,
after
a
sinful
abuse
of
the
holy
Gospel
,
and
of
the
never
to
be
forgotten
Deliverance
of
this
Our
ancient
Kingdom
,
from
the
Yoke
of
Bondage
and
Usurpation
,
and
of
Our
Royal
Person

Government
,
from
the
open
Rebellions
,
and
secret
Plots
and
Conspiracies
of
Traiterous
and
Phanatical
Enemies
;
and
after
a
long
and
impious
despising
of
Peace
and
Plenty
,
doth
by
his
righteous
Judgements
,
manifestly
discover
his
Anger
and
Displeasure
against
the
grievous
sins
of
this
Kingdom
;
and
particularly
,
by
the
long
continuance
of
the
Rigor
and
Storms
of
the
last
Winter
,
and
the
severity
and
unnatural
Coldnesse
of
the
present
Spring
,
whereby
not
only
a
great
part
of
the
Cattel
and
Bestial
are
already
destroyed
,
and
the
remanent
in
apparent
danger
;
but
even
the
ordinary
Season
of
Plowing
and
Sowing
of
the
Ground
,
was
in
danger
almost
to
be
lost
,
thereby
threatning
the
breaking
●
The
Staff
of
Bread
,
and
the
dreadful
Plague
of
Famine
:
Which
Dispensation
,
doth
invite
persons
of
all
Ranks
,
to
sp●●dy
and
true
Repentance
,
and
the
National
Expression
thereof
,
by
deep
Mourning

Therefore
We
,
with
Advice
and
Consent
of
the
Lords
of
Our

Do
appoint
and
ordain
a
Day
of
Humiliation
to
be
observed
by
all
Our
Subjects
of
this
Kingdom
;
strictly
Commanding
and
Requiring
them
,
upon
that
Day
,
to
cease
from
all
the
Works
of
their
ordinary
Callings
,
and
to
repair
to
their

make
solemn

Implore
the

more

contritely
to
Confess
●
Mourn
for
the
great
neglect
and
contempt
of
,
and
disobedience
to
the
holy
Gospel
,
for
the
sinful
Separation
from
the
Ordinances
thereof

for
the
great
and
lamentable
pre●alency
of
Atheism
,
Erro●
Prophaness
,
and
〈…〉
igion
occasioned
thereby
;
and
for
the
sinful
undervaluing
of
the
great
Blessings
of
Peace
and
Plenty
,
so
long
●ontinued
under
Our
Government
:
By
all
which
,
and
many
oth●r
●rying
Sins
,
the
Lord
Anger
and
Jealousie
are
kindled
,
and
his
Hand
is
stretched
out
to
the
Destruction
of
the
Castel
,
and
threatning
the
Fruits
of
the
Ground
,
the
necessary
Provision
for
the
Life
of
Man
and
Beast
,
that
by
s●●ious
Mourning

and
sincere
turning
from
these
provocking
Sins

the
Lord
may
graciously
pardon
them
