         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).

           true
           ,
           That
           Horses
           are
           so
           as
           I
           said
           .
        
         
           The
           Marquess
           of
           Carasena
           was
           so
           civilly
           earnest
           to
           see
           me
           Ride
           ,
           that
           he
           was
           pleas'd
           to
           say
           ,
           
             It
             would
             be
             a
             great
             Satisfaction
             to
             him
             ,
             to
             see
             me
             on
             Horse-back
             ,
             though
             the
          
           Horse
           
             should
             but
             Walk
          
           .
           And
           seeing
           that
           no
           Excuses
           would
           serve
           ,
           (
           though
           I
           did
           use
           many
           )
           I
           was
           contented
           to
           satisfie
           his
           so
           obliging
           a
           Curiosity
           ;
           and
           told
           him
           ,
           
             I
             would
             obey
             his
             Commands
             ,
             though
             I
             thought
             I
             should
             hardly
             be
             able
             
             to
             Sit
             in
             the
             Saddle
             .
          
           Two
           dayes
           after
           he
           came
           to
           my
           Mannage
           ,
           and
           I
           Rid
           first
           a
           Spanish-Horse
           ,
           called
           
             Le
             Superbe
          
           ,
           of
           a
           Light-Bay
           ,
           a
           beautiful
           Horse
           ;
           and
           though
           Hard
           to
           be
           Rid
           ,
           yet
           when
           he
           was
           Hitt
           Right
           ,
           he
           was
           the
           
             Readiest
             Horse
          
           in
           the
           World
           :
           He
           went
           in
           Corvets
           forward
           ,
           backward
           ,
           sidewayes
           ,
           on
           both
           Hands
           ;
           made
           the
           Cross
           perfectly
           upon
           his
           Voltoes
           ;
           and
           did
           Change
           upon
           his
           Voltoes
           so
           Just
           ,
           without
           breaking
           Time
           ,
           that
           no
           Musitian
           could
           keep
           Time
           better
           ;
           and
           went
           
             Terra
             a
             Terra
          
           Perfectly
           .
           The
           second
           Horse
           I
           Rid
           ,
           was
           another
           
             Spanish
             Horse
          
           ,
           call'd
           
             Le
             Genty
          
           ;
           and
           was
           Rightly
           named
           so
           ,
           for
           he
           was
           the
           finest
           Shap'd
           Horse
           that
           ever
           I
           saw
           ,
           and
           the
           neatest
           ;
           A
           Brown-Bay
           ,
           with
           a
           White-Star
           in
           his
           Forehead
           ;
           No
           Horse
           ever
           went

           him
           ,
           so
           just
           ,
           and
           so
           easie
           ;
           And
           for
           the
           Piroyte
           in
           his
           Length
           ,
           so
           just
           ,
           and
           so
           swift
           ,
           that
           the
           Standers
           by
           could
           hardly
           see
           the
           Rider's
           Face
           when
           he
           went
           ;
           And
           truly
           ,
           when
           he
           had
           done
           ,
           I
           was
           so
           Dizzey
           ,
           that
           I
           could
           hardly
           Sit
           in
           the
           Saddle
           :
           He
           went
           also
           so
           exactly
           in
           Corvets
           forwards
           ,
           as
           no
           Horse
           can
           goe
           better
           ,
           and
           yet
           he
           had
           no
           great
           Strength
           ;
           whence
           it
           appears
           ,
           
           That
           a
           Horse

             good
             Disposition
          
           ,
           is
           much
           better
           than
           a
           Horse
           that
           hath
           only
           Strength
           ;
           And
           that
           a
           most
           mighty
           and
           great
           
             Dutch-Brewer's
             Horse
          
           ,
           wanting
           Spirit
           and
           Agility
           ,
           can
           never
           goe
           well
           in
           the
           Mannage
           .
           The
           third
           and
           last
           Horse
           I
           Rid
           then
           ,
           was
           a
           Barbe
           ,
           that
           went
           a

           High

           .
           And
           when
           I
           had
           done
           Riding
           ,
           the
           Marquess
           of
           Carasena
           seem'd
           to

           very
           well
           satisfied

             a
             Horse
             ought
             to

             And
             the
             Ayre

             I

             I

             a
             Mistake
             in

             which
             is
             this

             First

             then
             that
             Horse
             goes
             in
             Corvets

             but
             seldom
             Impatient
             Horses
             are
             made
             Patient
             by
             Corvets

             So
             seeing
             most
             Horses
             that
             go

             to
             have
             Patience

             they
             think
             Corvets

             them
             Patience

             when
             it

             But
             there
             is
             no
