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).

To
the
Honourable
House
of
Commons
,
ASSEMBLED
in
PARLIAMENT
.
The
Humble
PETITION
of
divers
Persons
of
several
Callings
who
keep
the
Markets
in
London
,
in
behalf
of
themselves
and
Hundreds
more
;
Humbly
Sheweth
,
THAT
some
of
Your
Petitioners
having
only
Stalls
in
the
said
Markets
,
they
are
compelled
by
the
Farmers
of
the
said
Markets
,
to
pay
Excessive
Fines
and
Rents
for
the
same
;
which
,
as
they
can
prove
,
is
much
more
than
was
ever
paid
heretofore
:
And
others
of
Your
Petitioners
who
have
only
Sitting
in
the
said
Markets
and
no
otherwise
,
and
having
paid
formerly
some
2
d.
some
3
d.
and
some
4
d.
a
Week
,
only
for
their
said
Sitting
,
towards
Cleaning
the
said
Markets
,
as
your
Petitioners
can
prove
;
But
the
Farmers
of
the
said
Markets
(
contrary
to
Law
and
Custome
,
as
Your
Petitioners
Humbly
conceive
)
have
for
some
Years
past
compelled
some
of
them
to
pay
,
some
1
s.
some
3
s.
some
5
s.
a
Week
,
and
some
more
,
for
their
said
Sitting
,
which
has
occasioned
many
of
Your
Petitioners
,
not
being
able
to
pay
their
great
Demands
,
to
be
forced
to
abscond
from
the
said
Markets
,
to
the
great
Impoverishment
of
them
and
their
Families
;
and
those
of
Your
Petitioners
who
have
still
continued
Sitting
in
the
said
Markets
,
are
so
much
Oppressed
by
their
great
Exactions
,
that
they
are
scarce
able
to
keep
them
and
their
Families
in
Bread.
And
some
of
Your
Petitioners
having
formerly
refused
to
pay
such
great
Rates
for
their
Stalls
and
Sittings
,
as
have
been
Imposed
upon
them
,
have
been
Arrested
and
their
Goods
Seized
,
to
their
great
Damage
and
Impoverishment
;
some
of
them
being
Country
People
,
have
been
forced
to
comply
to
the
said
Farmers
Demands
,
by
reason
they
could
not
put
in
Bail
,
being
Foreigners
and
unknown
in
the
City
.
And
others
of
Your
Petitioners
for
some
time
past
,
by
reason
of
the
Deadness
of
Trade
,
having
been
unable
to
pay
so
great
Rates
laid
upon
them
,
are
daily
threatned
by
the
said
Farmers
to
be
Arrested
,
and
their
Goods
Seized
for
their
Arrears
,
which
if
they
do
,
must
inevitably
Ruine
them
.
And
forasmuch
as
Your
Petitioners
have
oftentimes
sought
Relief
from
the
Lord
Mayor
and
Court
of
Aldermen
of
the
City
of
London
,
and
particularly
delivered
a
Petition
on
the
6th
.
of
March
,
1688.
and
thereupon
had
a
Hearing
before
a
Committee
,
appointed
to
hear
their
Grievances
;
but
Your
Petitioners
having
no
Redress
;
May
it
therefore
please
this
Honourable
House
,
to
take
the
Premisses
into
Consideration
,
and
to
grant
Your
Petitioners
Hearing
,
that
so
thereby
they
may
not
hereafter
be
Burthened
in
the
like
kind
,
but
may
have
their
former
Customes
and
Priviledges
Restored
.
And
Your
Petitioners
shall
ever
Pray
,
&c.
