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).

Greeting
:
Forasmuch
,
as
severals
of
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Western
and
Southern
Shires
,
of
this
Our
ancient
Kingdom
,
notwithstanding
of
the
great
Peace
,
Tranquillity
and
Plenty
,
wherewith
GOD
hath
blessed
them
,
under
Our
Royal
Government
,
the
Justice

of
Our
Administrations
,
and
of
Our
great
care
of
preserving
the
Protestant
Religion
,
in
its
Truth
and
Purity
;
Have
at
several
times
;
and
on
several
occasions
,
not
only
moved
Sedition
,
and
run
into
many
irregular
,

Tumults

likewise
,
having
casten
off
all
Fe●r
of

,
all
Duty
to
Us
,
all
Affection
to
their
native
Countrey
,
and
all
Regard
to
the
Laws
,
Divine
and
Humane
,
did
,
at
divers
times
,
rise
in
open
Rebellion
,
and
to
that
height
of
Boldness
and
Impiety
,
that
they
have
,
by
Open
Force
,
Attackt
Our
Armies
,
Disclaimed
Our
Royal
Authority
,
Excommunicate
Our
Sacred
Person
,
and
did
as
far
as
in
them
〈◊〉
throw
these
happy
Nations
into
the
Miseries
of
War
and
Ruine
;
by
so
much
the
more
dreadful
then
former
Rebellions
,
that
these
who
carryed
on
the
recent
Seditions
,
have
far
out-done
all
others
,
in
demonstrating
,
the
Villanies
of
their
Principles
,
by
their
Practices
;
and
have
at
length
come
to
these
hights
of
Wickedness
,
the
Blasphemy
,
Treason
,
Assassination
,
Murders
and
Robberies
are
own'd
by
them
,
as
the
highest
Principles
of
their
Religion
,
and
the
best
practice
of
their
Morals
;
And
albeit
GOD
in
his
great
Mercy
hath
blessed
Our
Government
with
such
Success
,
that
both
by
the
force
of
Our
Arms
,
and
the
regular
Procedors
of
Our
Judges
,
their
Attempts
have
been
on
all
occasions
Defeat
,
and
many
of
their
persons
brought
to
condign
punishment
:
Yet
so
far
hath
their
Execrable
Principles
transported
them
,
that
neither
these
Judgements
of
GOD
,
the
severity
of
Our
Laws
,
the
steddiness
of
Our
Justice
,
nor
the
many
reiterated
Acts
of
Our
unparalelled
Clemency
,
prevailed
so
far
as
to
bring
them
to
Duty
:
But
on
the
contrary
,
as
they
were
obdure●
,
to
their
utter
destruction
,
severals
of
them
do
continue
to
own
publickly
their
Hellish
Principles
,
and
upon
all
opportunities
,
to
practise
their
Abominable
Murders
and
Assassinations
upon
our
good
Subjects
:
And
finding
likewise
,
to
Our
great
regrate
,
that
People
guilty
of
such
Principles
,
and
Practices
,
are
not
only
not
pursued
by
the
Inhabitant
of
the
Shires
where
they
appear
,
but
to
the
astonishment
of
all
good
men
,
are
Concealed
,
Harboured
,
Intertained
and
Comforted
,
contrary
to
what
Law
and
Duty
required
of
all
Our
Subjects
;
and
which
being
so
dangerous
to
Religion
,
Government
,
the
publick
Peace
,
the
Lives
and
Fortunes
of
Our
People
,
that
it
is
not
consistent
with
Our
Justice
or
Honour
,
not
to
use
the
utmost
Remedies
against
so
inveterat
and
pernicious
Mischiefs
.
And
We
having
resolved
to
imploy
Our
Royal
Power
to
these
ends

by
these
Methods
and
Procedurs

which
hath
been

such
occasions

Do
