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).

HIS
MAJESTIES
most
Gracious
SPEECH
To
both
HOVSES
of
PARLIAMENT
.
November
12th
.
1694.
My
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
I
Am
Glad
to
Meet
you
here
,
when
I
can
say
,
Our
Affairs
are
in
a
better
Posture
both
by
Sea
and
Land
,
than
when
We
parted
last
.
The
Enemy
has
not
been
in
a
Condition
to
Oppose
Our
Fleet
in
these
Seas
,
and
Our
sending
so
great
a
Force
into
the
Mediterranean
,
has
Disappointed
their
Designs
,
and
leaves
Us
a
Prospect
of
further
Success
.
With
Respect
to
the
War
by
Land
,
I
Think
I
may
say
,
That
this
Year
a
Stop
has
been
put
to
the
Progress
of
the
French
Arms.
Gentlemen
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
I
have
had
so
much
Experience
of
your
good
Affection
to
Me
,
and
of
your
Zeal
for
the
Publick
,
that
I
cannot
Doubt
of
your
Assistance
at
this
time
,
I
do
therefore
earnestly
Recommend
to
you
,
to
Provide
such
Supplies
,
as
may
Enable
Me
to
Prosecute
the
War
with
Vigour
;
which
is
the
only
Means
to
Procure
Peace
to
Christendom
,
with
the
Safety
and
Honour
of
England
.
I
must
likewise
put
you
in
Mind
,
that
the
Act
of
Tunnage
and
Poundage
expires
at
Christmas
;
and
I
hope
you
will
think
fit
to
Continue
that
Revenue
to
the
Crown
,
which
is
the
more
necessary
at
this
time
,
in
regard
the
several
Branches
of
the
Revenue
are
under
great
Anticipations
,
for
extraordinary
Expences
of
the
War
,
and
subject
to
many
Demands
upon
other
Accounts
.
I
cannot
but
Mention
to
you
again
,
the
Debt
for
the
Transport
Ships
Imployed
in
the
Reducing
of
Ireland
,
which
is
a
Case
of
Compassion
,
and
deserves
Relief
.
My
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
I
should
be
Glad
you
would
take
unto
your
Consideration
the
Preparing
some
Good
Bill
for
the
Encouragement
of
Our
Seamen
.
You
cannot
but
be
sensible
,
how
much
a
Law
of
this
nature
would
tend
to
the
Advancement
of
Trade
,
and
of
the
Naval
,
Strength
of
tht
Kingdom
,
which
is
Our
great
Interest
,
and
ought
to
be
Our
Principal
Care.
