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).

Some
farther
Matter
of
Fact
Relating
to
the
Administration
of
Affairs
IN
SCOTLAND
,
Under
the
Duke
of
Lauderdale
.
Humbly
offered
to
His
MAJESTIES
Consideration
,
in
Obedience
to
His
Royal
Commands
.
That
the
Duke
of
Lauderdale
was
concerned
in
the
Designe
of
Bringing
in
of
Popery
and
Arbitrary
Government
,
may
appear
by
these
following
Particulars
,
&c.
I.
FIrst
,
in
Anno
1669
,
when
he
knew
that
the
Duke
had
changed
his
Religion
,
he
procured
an
Act
in
Scotland
for
Asserting
the
Kings
Supremacy
;
which
he
made
the
Presbyterian-party
believe
was
to
empower
the
King
to
put
down
Episcopacy
,
and
set
up
Presbytery
,
(
the
very
words
of
it
.
)
The
disposal
of
the
External
Government
of
the
Church
,
is
put
absolutely
in
the
Kings
Power
;
as
also
all
Ecclesiastical
Meetings
and
Meeters
are
to
be
ordered
by
the
King.
Now
the
acknowledgment
of
the
Pope
is
a
great
part
of
the
Ecclesiastical
Government
;
besides
,
the
other
words
are
so
comprehensive
,
that
all
Popery
may
be
brought
in
at
that
door
.
Soon
after
this
,
he
entered
into
a
firm
Friendship
with
the
Head
of
the
Popish
party
.
II.
At
his
next
Session
of
Parliament
,
which
was
after
Madam's
being
at
Dover
,
in
1670
,
to
shew
his
farther
Kindness
to
that
Religion
,
he
put
in
words
in
the
7
o
Act
of
that
Session
,
against
Withdrawers
from
publick
Worship
;
which
secured
Papists
from
all
troubles
:
for
the
Act
runs
onely
against
his
Majesties
Subjects
of
the
Reformed
Religion
;
for
that
Papists
are
expressly
Excepted
,
and
the
words
he
put
in
with
his
own
hand
in
the
draught
of
that
Act.
III.
Whereas
he
first
procured
the
Act
that
was
past
Anno
1667
,
that
offerred
the
King
an
Army
of
22000
men
to
be
brought
into
England
for
any
Cause
in
which
his
Majesties
Honour
,
Power
,
and
Greatness
was
concerned
;
which
was
generally
passed
as
a
Complement
,
and
continued
so
till
the
year
1669
,
that
other
designe
being
projected
in
England
by
the
Papists
.
He
to
be
ready
to
second
that
,
raised
this
Army
,
and
procured
another
Act
,
which
is
the
second
in
the
first
Session
of
the
Parliament
held
by
him
;
by
which
the
former
Act
was
not
onely
confirmed
,
but
it
was
ordered
that
this
Army
should
obey
the
Order
of
the
Council
,
without
naming
the
King
at
all
:
which
,
as
he
has
managed
it
,
is
upon
the
matter
himself
.
And
of
late
,
before
the
discovery
of
the
Plot
,
he
designed
to
convert
the
22000
men
to
a
standing
Army
,
as
an
Addition
to
the
new
Forces
raised
last
Summer
,
to
be
constantly
maintained
by
all
Subjects
;
contrary
to
the
true
meaning
of
the
first
or
second
Acts
of
Parliament
relating
to
that
purpose
,
and
directly
against
the
Fundamental
Constitutions
of
the
Nation
,
to
impose
Burthens
upon
it
without
consent
of
Parliament
.
IV.
When
he
went
down
Anno
1673
,
to
see
if
he
could
draw
down
this
Army
to
England
(
finding
he
could
not
effect
it
,
that
Nation
not
being
able
to
support
this
Tyranny
longer
)
he
first
wearied
the
Members
of
Parliament
with
often
Adjournments
,
and
finding
in
the
end
that
Artifice
and
other
tricks
would
not
do
,
he
dissolved
the
Parliament
,
that
he
might
proceed
there
,
consonant
to
the
Councel
he
gave
here
;
and
set
up
a
Bare-fac'd
Arbitrary
Power
there
,
which
he
has
so
much
advised
and
pressed
here
;
and
has
ever
since
taken
all
the
ways
he
could
fall
on
to
force
the
Nation
to
a
Rebellion
,
by
illegal
Imprisonments
,
unjust
Accusations
,
false
Reports
made
to
the
King
,
taking
away
from
the
Subjects
the
right
of
Propriety
,
their
limitable
Jurisdictions
by
the
Councils
order
,
grounded
upon
Letters
procured
by
him
from
the
King
,
and
put
in
execution
by
his
brother
Halton
,
by
wrongful
turning
out
Bishops
,
Ministers
of
State
,
Magistrates
,
and
others
,
by
cruel
and
illegal
Sentences
,
Banishments
,
and
Fines
;
some
whereof
he
disposed
to
Pensioners
Relations
of
his
own
,
by
Grants
obtained
from
the
King
here
,
which
bear
date
before
the
Fines
were
judicially
imposed
in
Scotland
.
And
likewise
by
bringing
a
man
to
die
,
whom
he
had
perswaded
to
confess
upon
hopes
of
Life
;
and
afterwards
forswore
that
he
had
promised
,
though
it
stands
yet
registered
upon
the
Councils
Book
.
By
sending
Shipfuls
to
be
Slaves
in
English
Plantations
,
which
he
justified
here
at
Council-board
in
Whitehal
.
By
imposing
Bonds
against
Law.
And
above
all
,
by
sending
an
Army
of
9
or
10000
men
,
most
of
them
Highlanders
,
to
lie
upon
Free
quarter
,
and
rob
and
spoil
a
Country
that
was
in
no
Rebellion
,
nor
could
any
colour
of
saying
they
intended
any
,
be
ever
found
now
or
since
.
This
he
did
last
year
,
thinking
that
would
certainly
make
them
rebel
,
and
so
give
a
just
Cause
for
keeping
up
a
standing
Army
both
there
and
here
.
And
that
being
at
the
time
when
the
Papists
thought
the
Plot
so
neer
perfection
,
was
certainly
in
conjunction
with
them
having
prepared
above
8000
Horse
and
Foot
,
with
Officers
of
his
own
stamp
,
to
execute
his
designe
.
It
is
more
than
probable
that
it
was
for
the
Intelligence
his
Lady
gave
of
this
,
that
the
Cardinal
of
Norfolk
sent
his
thanks
to
her
.
V.
Whereas
there
are
but
few
Papists
in
Scotland
,
he
hath
given
these
all
the
Incouragements
he
could
.
The
Earl
of
Aboins
,
who
was
oft
complained
of
to
the
Council
by
the
Bishops
for
keeping
many
Priests
in
his
house
,
and
being
a
main
Stickler
for
Popery
,
he
made
a
Privy-Counsellor
,
and
gave
him
a
Pension
,
though
he
has
never
since
gone
to
Church
,
nor
received
the
Sacrament
.
The
Earl
of
Northdale
,
another
furious
Papist
,
in
Command
of
the
new
Forces
he
raised
(
and
so
is
Lord
and
King
)
and
both
those
two
were
last
year
employed
by
him
in
the
plundering
of
the
West
of
Scotland
,
&c.
And
there
being
in
Scotland
but
five
Noblemen
that
are
Papists
,
four
of
them
have
been
supported
and
maintained
by
him
,
&c.
VI.
He
was
a
principal
Instrument
in
procuring
the
Toleration
of
Popery
,
and
courted
them
into
sworn
Friendship
with
the
Lord
Clifford
;
and
preferred
the
Declaration
and
other
the
Kings
Edicts
at
the
Council-board
,
to
Law
,
&c.
He
pressed
the
King
to
break
with
his
Parliament
,
and
maintain
the
Declaration
,
and
to
take
the
Great
Seal
from
the
Earl
of
Shaftsbury
,
for
giving
him
better
Councel
;
of
which
he
has
often
boasted
.
He
became
also
an
Enemy
to
the
Earl
of
Arlington
,
upon
the
same
account
,
and
has
ever
since
had
an
intire
friendship
with
the
Lord
Treasurer
,
for
promoting
those
ends
he
supported
the
last
year
against
the
just
Complaints
the
Scotch
Lords
made
for
Free
Quarter
,
and
other
barbarous
usages
which
they
met
with
,
&c.
VII
.
He
became
a
Pensioner
to
France
,
from
whom
he
received
rich
Presents
,
and
great
Sums
:
out
of
one
of
the
Jewels
which
Monsieur
Colbert
gave
him
,
he
made
his
rich
George
.
He
always
helped
on
the
French
Levies
in
Scotland
,
against
the
Treaties
the
King
had
made
,
and
gave
the
French
Officers
the
publick
Prisons
;
yea
,
and
the
Kings
own
Castle
of
Edenburgh
,
of
which
he
is
Governour
,
to
keep
their
Leavies
in
,
till
the
Ships
are
ready
for
their
Transportation
:
he
gave
order
to
his
Brother
to
set
the
Levies
forward
,
and
to
press
men
by
force
into
their
service
;
which
being
informed
to
the
House
of
Commons
,
he
corrupted
one
of
the
Witnesses
by
Money
to
forswear
it
;
and
this
he
did
,
after
the
House
of
Commons
had
Voted
that
any
who
assisted
those
Leavies
,
should
be
lookt
upon
as
publick
Enemies
to
the
Nation
.
So
much
did
he
contribute
to
serve
the
French
Kings
designes
;
and
particularly
in
the
year
1667.
when
complaints
were
made
to
the
King
by
Spanish
Ministers
,
that
Scotland
Leavies
for
France
were
a
breach
of
Treaty
,
His
Majesties
Commissioners
ordered
a
Proclamation
to
be
sent
down
immediately
for
the
discharging
of
them
;
but
the
Duke
of
Lauderdaile
dispatcht
an
Express
to
his
Brother
Halton
secretly
,
to
acquaint
him
that
the
Proclamation
was
coming
,
and
that
it
should
be
kept
up
,
until
the
Leavied
Souldiers
should
be
shipt
and
sent
away
,
and
then
published
;
which
was
accordingly
performed
.
But
for
all
the
hast
they
made
to
sayl
,
the
wind
detained
some
of
their
Vessels
in
the
Road
after
the
Proclamation
,
and
did
drive
others
back
,
which
had
been
a
good
way
gone
,
yet
none
durst
stop
or
trouble
them
,
for
fear
of
Halton
,
who
had
always
promoted
those
Leavies
,
and
had
signed
particular
Warrants
to
several
Prison-keepers
,
for
delivering
their
Prisons
to
the
French
Officers
.
He
lived
at
that
time
in
such
intimacy
with
the
French
Embassadour
,
that
they
were
never
asunder
.
He
sent
his
Nephew
to
make
Campaigne
in
the
French
Army
,
and
wrote
to
the
English
Embassadour
to
present
him
to
the
King
;
and
tell
him
,
That
he
had
sent
the
dearest
thing
he
had
to
his
service
,
and
if
he
had
anything
dearer
he
would
have
sent
it
.
VIII
.
He
hath
upon
all
occasions
spoken
of
the
House
of
Commons
with
the
greatest
contempt
and
scorn
possible
,
calling
it
commonly
,
Bellua
multorum
Capitum
;
and
usually
said
,
if
they
would
Address
against
him
,
he
would
fart
against
them
,
and
that
he
would
put
a
dog
in
his
Arse
and
bark
at
them
.
And
after
boasted
among
his
Creatures
,
That
he
had
risen
by
their
Addresses
.
For
after
one
,
he
got
himself
made
an
Earl
of
England
;
after
the
other
,
he
had
a
Pension
of
3000
l.
per
annum
in
England
,
though
he
had
above
9000
l.
per
annum
in
Scotland
,
of
the
King
;
and
his
usual
word
about
the
Commons
is
,
Let
them
bark
,
and
he
will
bite
.
IX
.
Not
long
ago
he
carried
a
person
,
known
to
be
of
a
very
mercenary
quality
,
before
the
King
,
and
its
like
suborned
him
to
accuse
some
of
the
Nobility
of
Scotland
,
and
say
,
They
had
inticed
him
to
complain
upon
his
Grace
to
the
Commons
in
Parliament
;
thereby
thinking
not
onely
to
put
those
Noblemen
out
of
the
Kings
favour
,
but
also
to
beget
in
His
Majesty
an
ill
Opinion
of
the
House
;
but
the
parties
being
convened
before
the
King
,
His
Majesty
discovered
the
Forgery
,
and
Ordered
the
cheating
Rogue
to
custody
,
where
he
yet
lyes
under
restraint
.
X.
At
his
last
being
in
Seotland
,
he
forced
all
the
Officers
of
State
,
and
others
,
in
both
Civil
and
Military
Employments
,
to
hold
their
Commissions
of
the
King
durante
beneplacito
,
which
was
never
practised
in
that
Nation
before
;
the
consequence
thereof
tends
so
much
to
Arbitrary
Power
,
that
they
need
not
be
particularilized
;
he
put
in
and
put
out
Members
of
the
Kings
Council
,
according
as
they
suted
his
secret
Designs
.
In
a
word
,
he
so
packt
all
the
Judicatures
,
that
Justice
and
Equity
have
been
Administred
according
to
his
pleasure
,
under
colour
of
the
good
of
the
Kingdom
.
XI
.
When
the
Treaty
for
the
Union
of
both
Kingdoms
was
set
on
foot
,
which
had
been
a
great
happiness
to
both
Nations
,
perceiving
he
should
thereby
loose
that
absolute
Power
he
had
in
Scotland
,
and
not
be
able
to
prosecute
his
Arbitrary
Defigns
,
set
himself
to
a
breach
;
for
which
,
this
was
his
Argument
,
That
it
was
rather
the
Kings
Interest
to
keep
the
Kingdoms
distant
,
and
to
hold
England
under
the
fear
of
the
Scotch
Army
,
which
then
he
was
Raising

He
has
lived
in
that
Correspondence
with
the
Papists
and
Priests
,
that
the
Cardinal
of
Norfolk
before
he
left
England
was
perpetually
at
his
House
;
he
has
kept
constant
Correspondence
with
Conyers
and
some
Jesuites
;
and
at
Rome
he
was
called
by
one
of
the
Popes
Bed-chamber
,
a
great
friend
of
the
Catholicks
;
and
in
all
his
concerns
,
the
Papists
were
still
of
his
side
.
So
that
his
late
Proclamation
against
Papists
in
Scotland
hath
been
onely
a
Mockery
.
Now
since
the
Plot
is
discovered
,
to
disguise
his
Traiterous
Conspiracies
,
which
then
,
though
upon
Mr.
Oates
his
Discovery
he
talked
at
the
Board
like
one
that
believed
it
;
yet
he
went
strait
to
the
Duke
,
and
spoke
of
it
with
all
possible
scorn
,
and
called
it
a
Ridiculous
Contrivance
.

That
Colemans
Letters
were
discharged
to
be
made
publick
in
Scotland
.
And
next
,
his
Tryal
being
Reprinted
at
Edenbourgh
,
the
Books
were
by
a
peremptory
Order
in
Council
stopt
at
the
Press
,
when
finished
almost
to
the
last
sheet
,
not
onely
to
the
Printers
great
dammage
,
but
to
a
manifest
suppression
of
the
Discovery
of
that
horrid
Plot
from
the
good
people
of
that
Nation
,
who
were
longing
for
the
Particulars
thereof
.
For
is
it
not
known
,
that
Charles
Milford
of
Hatton
Treasurer
,
Deputy
of
Scotland
,
managed
all
the
Affairs
and
Councels
there
,
exactly
as
he
received
Instructions
from
his
Brother
the
Duke
of
Lauderdail
here
?
according
to
which
,
those
in
that
Country
,
which
these
Creatures
talk
now
,
of
the
discovered
Plot
,
to
be
onely
a
Malicious
Forgery
of
two
Rogues
,
Oates
and
Bedlow
