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
LORD
MAYOR
AND
Court
of
Aldermen
of
the
CITY
of
LONDON
.
IT
having
been
ever
since
the
Reign
of
King
John
the
undoubted
Right
of
the
Citizens
of
London
to
Chuse
out
of
themselves
two
Sheriffs
for
the
City
of
London
and
County
of
Middlesex
,
which
Right
hath
been
Confirmed
to
them
by
several
Acts
of
Parliament
;
and
whereas
the
Citizens
of
London
Assembled
in
a
Common-Hall
on
the
24
th
day
of
June
last
past
,
did
according
to
Ancient
Custom
,
by
Majority
of
Votes
,
then
Elect
Thomas
Papillon
and
John
Dubois
Merchants
,
to
be
Sheriffs
of
the
said
City
of
London
and
County
of
Middlesex
for
the
Year
ensuing
;
We
Inhabitants
and
Freeholders
of
the
County
of
Middlesex
,
in
behalf
of
our selves
and
others
Freeholders
and
Inhabitants
of
the
said
County
,
have
thought
it
our
Duty
to
desire
your
Lordship
and
this
Court
to
Summon
the
said
Thomas
Papillon
and
John
Dubois
to
appear
before
you
,
and
then
according
to
Ancient
Usage
require
them
to
enter
into
Bonds
for
holding
the
Office
of
Sheriffs
of
London
and
Middlesex
for
the
ensuing
Year
;
and
in
case
they
shall
be
contented
to
give
Bond
for
fo
doing
,
that
then
they
the
said
Thomas
Papillon
and
John
Dubois
,
who
have
been
according
to
the
City
Charter
duely
Elected
Sheriffs
of
London
and
Middlesex
,
may
have
the
usual
Oaths
Administred
to
them
which
they
ought
to
take
for
the
due
Execution
of
their
Office
;
and
that
no
other
Persons
upon
any
pretence
whatsoever
,
who
have
not
been
duely
Elected
by
Majority
of
Votes
,
may
be
Admitted
or
Sworn
by
your
Lordship
or
this
Court
to
Execute
the
Office
of
Sheriffs
of
London
or
Middlesex
,
it
being
absolutely
contrary
to
your
Oaths
and
the
Charter
of
the
City
;
and
seeing
our
Lives
and
Fortunes
are
so
highly
concerned
in
the
due
Execution
of
the
Laws
,
of
which
none
but
duely
Elected
Sheriffs
can
be
Legal
Executors
;
We
think
it
necessary
to
represent
to
your
Lordship
and
this
Court
,
that
many
and
great
Disorders
and
Dangers
are
like
to
fall
not
only
upon
the
City
of
London
and
County
of
Middlesex
,
but
likewise
on
the
whole
Kingdom
,
if
any
Persons
who
have
not
been
rightfully
Chosen
by
the
Major
part
of
the
Citizens
of
London
qualified
to
Elect
,
should
be
admitted
or
Sworn
Sheriffs
,
because
the
Law
accounts
such
Persons
Capital
Offenders
,
who
shall
under
Pretence
of
being
Sheriffs
of
London
and
Middlesex
,
(
but
indeed
are
not
Legally
so
)
Presume
to
Dispose
of
our
Lives
and
Estates
.
We
therefore
desire
your
Lordship
and
this
Court
to
take
into
your
serious
Consideration
our
Just
and
necessary
desires
in
this
particular
,
which
is
of
so
great
Importance
to
the
whole
Kingdom
;
and
make
bold
to
tell
your
Lordship
and
this
Court
,
that
all
the
fatal
Consequences
which
shall
happen
by
your
not
doing
what
Justice
in
this
Case
requires
of
you
,
will
be
laid
at
your
Doors
.
