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).

WHereas
it
hath
beén
Represented
unto
Us
by
the
Levant
Company
,
That
they
have
reason
to
fear
that
some
of
His
Majesties
Subjects
,
who
have
Authority
to
Seize
the
Ships
,
Goods
and
Merchandizes
belonging
to
the
French
King
and
his
Subjects
,
and
such
Ships
,
Vessels
and
Goods
as
are
liable
to
Confiscation
,
may
,
by
Colour
thereof
,
take
other
Ships
and
Goods
of
Subjects
of
other
Princes
and
States
in
Amity
with
His
Majesty
:
And
whereas
We
have
also
beén
Informed
that
divers
of
His
Majesties
Subjects
have
betaken
themselves
to
the
Sea-Service
of
Foreign
Princes
and
States
in
Amity
with
His
Majesty
;
and
also
that
others
of
His
Majesties
Subjects
,
having
His
Majesties
Commission
to
Seize
the
Ships
and
Goods
of
the
French
,
have
also
taken
Commissions
from
other
Princes
and
States
for
Seizing
the
Goods
of
other
Foreigners
who
are
in
Enmity
with
such
Princes
or
States
;
by
Colour
whereof
they
pretend
to
make
Prize
not
only
of
the
Goods
of
His
Majesties
Enemies
;
and
such
as
are
liable
to
Confiscation
,
but
also
of
other
Goods
of
some
of
His
Majesties
Friends
or
Allies
,
if
they
happen
to
fall
in
their
way
,
whereby
such
Persons
having
such
several
Commissions
may
be
Liable
to
the
Punishment
due
to
Pirates
,
and
such
their
Proceedings
may
be
of
dangerous
Consequence
to
all
that
Trade
on
the
Sea
:
We

Provide

Practices
