         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).

             Indeed
             ,
             so
             forward
             were
             we
             in
             February
             ,
             that
             Gayland
             began
             to
             be
             jealous
             of
             us

             therefore
             there
             are
             several
             Debates
             between

             whether
             a
             War

             Peace
             .
             Free
             he
             would
             have
             us
             to
             the
             Fortification
             of
             those
             Redoubts
             nearest
             the

             but
             as
             for
             those
             further
             off
             ,
             as
             the
             Hollanders
             answer
             the
             Ambassadors
             that
             come
             to
             them

             saying
             ,
             
               It
               may
               be
               so
               ,
               we
               will
               consider
               :
            
             So
             said
             he
             ,
             
               He
               would
               take
            
             14.
             
               dayes
               time
               to
               think
               of
               it
               .
            
             And
             they
             have
             a
             Saying
             amongst
             them
             ,
             the
             meaning
             whereof
             I
             understand
             not
             ;

             But
             from
             Debate
             it
             comes
             to
             Action
             ;
             the
             Moor
             comes
             on
             with
             Horse
             and
             Foot
             to
             hinder
             the
             Enlargement
             of
             our
             Quarters
             ,
             as
             it
             concerned
             him
             ,
             but
             was
             beaten
             off

             and
             ,
             what
             is
             a
             shame
             in
             that
             Country
             ,
             left
             one
             of

             we

             for

             banish
             all
             the
             Jewes
             out
             of

             a

             Very
             idle

             told

             and

             usually
             follows
             upon
             that
             ,
             very
             quarrelsome
             :
             nothing
             more
             usual
             among
             them
             then
             deadly
             feuds
             ;
             1000
             against

             one
             Tribe

             it
             were
             against
             another
             ;
             which
             nothing
             can
             compose
             but
             a
             forreign
             Enemy
             ,
             against
             whom
             their
             very
             hatred
             unites
             them
             more
             effectually
             then
             their
             love
             could
             do
             among
             themselves
             .
             Yet
             I
             must
             say
