         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).

           then

           made
           peace

           the
           opinion
           of
           our
           Society

           the

           not
           stand

           need
           of
           the
           Assistance
           of
           the
           Protestant
           Electors

           nor
           need
           he
           fear
           them
           when
           that
           War
           is
           Ended
           .
           Then
           shall
           we
           perswade
           him
           not
           only
           to
           destroy
           them
           in

             his

           therefore
           we

           many
           threatnings
           and
           Promises
           before

           our

           him
           absolution
           till
           he
           had
           given
           me
           an
           Instrument
           under

           Now
           as
           soon
           as
           I
           had

           when
           this
           should
           be
           done

           time
           ,
           but

           Compassion
           for
           the
           Hugonets
           because
           they

           and
           the
           longer

           was
           under
           it
           the
           more
           sorrowful
           he
           was

           often
           complaining
           and
           desireing

           ,
           adviseing
           him
           to
           repent
           of

           hanious
           sinne
           ,
           and
           also
           telling
           him
           that
           the
           trouble
           and
           Horror
           of
           his
           spirit
           did
           not

           from
           any
           thing
           of
           evill

           things
           that
           were
           to
           be
           done
           ,
           but
           from
           that
           great
           wickednes
           which
           he
           had
           done
           ;
           and
           that
           he
           must
           resolve
           to
           undergo
           the
           severe
           burden
           of
           a
           troubled
           mind
           for
           one
           of

           or
           the
           other
           ,
           and
           if
           he
           would
           remaine
           Satisfied
           as
           it
           was
           ,
           his
           sin
           being
           forgiven
           there
           would
           in
           a
           few
           days
           be
           a
           perfect
           attonement
           made
           for
           it
           and
           he
           perfectly
           reconciled
           to
           god
           againe
           but
           all
           this
           would
           not
           pacifie
           him
           for
           the
           longer
           the
           more
           Restles
           ,
           and
           therefore
           I
           ordered
           him
           to
           retire
           to
           his
           closet
           and
           there
           spend
           his
           time
           Constantly
           in
           prayer
           without
           permitting
           any
           one
           to
           interrupt
           him
           :
           and
           this
           was
           in
           the
           morning
           early
           when
           the
           Evening
           following
           I
           was
           to
           send

             or

             my
             sword

           I
           would
           have
           made
           my
           Escape
           but
           he
           set
           his
           sword
           to
           my
           breast
           and
           said
           
             you
             must
             give

           So
           when
           I
           saw
           nothing
           els
           would
           do
           I
           put
           my
           hand
           in
           my
           pocket
           and
           gave
           it
           him
           ,
           which
           he
           carried
           immediately
           to
           the
           King
           and
           gave
           him
           that
           and
           all
           my
           Letters
           which
           they
           burnt
           :
           and
           being
           all
           done
           the
           King
           said
           that
           now
           his
           heart
           was
           at
           Ease
           ,
           now
           how
           he
           should
           be
           Eased
           by
           the
           devil
           ,
           or
           so
           well
           satisfied
           with
           a
           fals
           Joy
           I
           cannot
           tell
           ,
           but
           this
           I
           know
           that
           it
           was
           a
           very
           wicked
           and
           ungodly
           action
           as
           well
           in
           his
           Majesty
           as
           the
           
             Prince
             of
             Conty
          
           :
           and
           did
           not
           a
           Little
           increase
           the
           burden
           and
           danger
           of
           his
           Majestys
           sins
           :
           I
           soon
           gave
           an
           account
           of
           this
           affair
           to
           several
           
             Fathers
             of
             our
             Society
          
           ,
           who
           promised
           to
           doe
           their
           best
           to
           prevent
           the
           foresaid
           Prince
           doeing
           such
           another
           act
           ,
           which
           was
           accordingly
           done
           :
           for
           with
           in
           the
           space
           of
           six
           days
           after
           the
           damned
           action
           he
           was
           
             Poisoned
             and
             well
             he
             deserved
             it
             .
          
           The
           King
           also
           did
           suffer
           to
           ,
           but
           in
           another
           fashion
           ,
           for
           discloseing
           the
           designe
           to
           the
           Prince
           and
           hearkning
           to
           his
           Council
           :
           and
           many
           a
           time
           since
           when
           I
           have
           had
           him
           at
           Confession
           I
           have
           shook
           hell
           about
           his
           Ears
           ,
           and
           made
           him
           sigh
           fear
           and
           tremble
           before
           I
           would
           give
           him
           absolution
           ;
           nay
           more
           then
           that
           I
           have
           made
           him
           beg
           for
           it
           upon
           his
           knees
           before
           I
           would
           consent
           to
           absolve
           him
           ,
           by
           this
           I
           saw
           that
           he
           had
           still
           an
           Inclination
           to
           me
           and
           was
           willing
           to
           be
           under
           my
           government
           :
           so
           I
           set
           the
           basenes
           of
           the
           action
           before
           him
           by
           telling
           the
           whole
           Story
           and
           how
           wicked
           it
           was
           :
           and
           that
           it
           could
           not
           be
           forgiven
           till
           he
           had
           done
           some
           good
           action
           to
           balance
           that
           and
           Expiate
           the
           crime
           ,
           whereupon
           he
           at
           last
           asked
           me
           what
           he
           must
           doe
           ?
           I
           told
           him
           that
           he
           must
           root
           out
           all
           the
           Hereticks
           from
           his
           Kingdom
           ,
           so
           when
           he
           see
           there
           was
           no
           rest
           for
           him
           without
           doeing
           it
           ,
           he
           did
           againe
           give
           them
           all
           into
           the
           power
           of
           me
           and
           our
           Clergy
           :
           under
           this
           Condition
           
             that
             we
             should
             not
             murder
             them
          
           ;
           as
           he
           had
           before
           given
           orders
           ;
           but
           that
           we
           should
           by
           fair
           means
           or
           force
           convert
           them
           to
           the
           
             Catholick
             Religion
          
           ,
           to
           which
           End
           he
           gave
           us
           his
           Dragoons
           to
           be
           at
           our
           devotion
           and
           service
           that
           we
           might
           use
           them
           as
           we
           saw
           Convenient
           to
           convert
           them
           to
           the
           true
           Religion
           ,
           now
           when
           we
           had
           got
           the
           Comission
           we
           presently
           put
           it
           in
           practise
           ,
           and
           what
           the
           Issue
           of
           it
           hath
           been

           But
           now
           in
           England
           the
           work

           done
           after
           this
           manner
           :
           as
           you
           may
           perceive
           by
           what

           have
           said
           to

           ,
           if

           carefully
           observed
           what
           hath
           been
           delivered
           ,
           so
           that
           I
           can
           not
           give
           you
           better
           Council
           then

           that
           course
           in
           hand
           wherein
           we
           were
           so
           unhappily
           prevented
           ,
           and
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           it

           understood

           the
           King
           of
           England
           were
           unwilling

           still
           so
           deeply
           printed

           how
           easy
           a

           The
           reason
           why
           I

           you
           know
           how
           we
           had

           first
           laid
           our
           designe
           and
           also
           what
           obstructions
           there
           came
           in

           yet
           at
           last
           we
           arrived
           at
           the
           thing
           we
           desired
           ,
           so
           you
           must
           not
           be
           disheartened
           when
           you
           meet
           with
           opposition
           but
           prosecute
           the
           thing
           ,
           doe
           your
           duty
           and

           the
           succes
           to
           time

           fate

           Our
           King
           is
           at
           present
           very
           sickly
           and
           
           we
           can
           have
           no
           account
           what
           he
           ails
           ,
           for
           some
           times
           the
           Doctors
           say
           he
           hath
           an
           Ague
           ,
           a
           while
           after
           they
           say
           t
           is
           the
           Gout
           and
           then
           Melancholy
           or
           some
           such
           thing
           ,
           now
           whither
           the
           slow
           progres
           of
           the
           great
           designe
           in
           the
           Hague
           to
           get
           the
           Prince
           of
           Orange
           into
           his
           Interest
           ;
           
             or
             to
             murder
             him
          
           ;
           doth
           so
           weaken
           and
           impair
           him
           ,
           I
           know
           not
           .
           But
           this
           I
           can
           assure
           you
           of
           :
           that
           he
           began
           to
           be
           sick
           when
           he
           received
           the
           news
           of
           that
           provokeing
           answer
           that
           the
           Pensionaris
           Fagel
           gave
           to
           his
           Ambasador
           D'Avaux
           :
           and
           was
           after
           published
           in
           very
           Scornful
           terms
           ;
           and
           therefore
           there
           was
           but
           little
           hope
           left
           to
           accomplish
           the
           first
           :
           and
           Indeed
           less
           to
           perform
           the
           second
           ,
           seeing
           the
           Prince
           hath
           smelt
           out
           our
           Kings
           designe
           ,
           and
           for
           all
           those
           that
           have
           intermedled
           in
           the
           affaires
           of
           our
           Ambasador
           concerning
           what
           he
           hath
           done
           for
           his
           master
           ;
           let
           them
           look
           to
           themselves
           ,
           possibly
           he
           may
           fear
           that
           their
           Majestys
           of
           great
           Brittain
           may
           alter
           their
           opinions
           about
           the
           young
           prince
           that
           we
           have
           been
           so
           long
           contriveing
           for
           ,
           and
           at
           last
           disowne
           him
           ,
           and
           so
           destroy
           the
           designe
           ,
           and
           from
           thence
           may
           his
           sicknes
           proceed
           ,
           for
           he
           is
           considerable
           better
           since
           he
           hath
           heard
           of
           its
           good
           succes
           and
           the
           probabillity
           of
           its
           good
           conclusion
           .
           And
           this
           is
           the
           more
           possible
           because
           his
           Majesty
           takes
           all
           his
           Measures
           from
           the

           nothing
           of
           any
           great
           importance
           till
           he
           considers
           how
           it
           stands
           with
           that
           King
           ,
           [
           and
           you
           well
           know

           late
           troubles

           the

           from
           the

           first
           hour

           heard

           Concluded
           it

           a

           Now
           what
           way
           was
           there
           to
           convince
           them
           of

           and
           to
           stop
           the
           
           Months
           of
           Gain

           but
           to
           take
           care
           to
           have
           it
           done
           Regular
           and
           publick
           according
           ,
           to
           the
           antient
           ,
           Custom
           in
           that
           case
           ,
           that
           all
           man
           kind
           might
           be
           satisfied
           it
           was
           true
           and
           Just
           ,
           but
           Alas
           here
           was
           the
           popes
           finger
           in
           it
           and
           the
           
             French
             Kings
          
           to
           :
           Ergo.
           
        
         
           5.
           
           The
           subtilty
           they
           have
           used
           to
           have
           the
           Queen
           delivered
           in
           the
           eight
           month
           ,
           and
           that
           with
           so
           much
           suddennes
           as
           if
           she
           had
           not
           time
           to
           call
           any
           or
           give
           notice
           to
           those
           who
           ought
           to
           have
           been
           there
           ,
           they
           Judging
           that
           the
           world
           will
           think
           from
           hence
           that
           she
           was
           catched
           at
           unawares
           .
           But
           alas
           this
           is
           so
           far
           from
           takeing
           off
           the
           suspicion
           that
           it
           doth
           much
           Increase
           it
           ,
           for
           from
           thence
           all
           men
           must
           Judge
           that
           they
           made
           Choice
           of
           this
           opportunity
           to
           do
           it
           in
           a
           private
           corner
           in
           the
           Dark
           :
           it
           being
           not
           fit
           for
           the
           light
           ,
           for
           such
           works
           and
           workers
           hate
           that
           ,
           and
           you
           need
           not
           doubt
           but
           they
           were
           affraid
           that
           some
           
             persons
             of
             quallity
             ,
             Bishops
          
           ,
           and
           )
           others
           would
           have
           come
           [
           had
           they
           knowne
           of
           it
           ]
           that
           they
           could
           not
           have
           hindred
           ;
           and
           tho
           it
           was
           the
           custom
           yet
           they
           did
           not
           desire
           their
           Company
           on
           that
           occasion
           .
           Secondly
           ,
           we
           must
           necessaryly
           ,
           conclude
           it
           is
           a
           cheat
           ;
           because
           all
           men
           know
           that
           a
           Child
           born
           in
           the
           eighth
           month
           can
           not
           be
           so
           perfect
           lusty
           and
           vigorous
           as
           one
           of
           nine
           months
           is
           ;
           and
           all
           that
           have
           seen
           this
           Child
           say
           it
           is
           biger
           and
           lustyer
           then
           even
           this
           Queen
           had
           any
           when
           she
           went
           full
           nine
           months
           ,
           and
           indeed
           biger
           then
           any
           new
           born
           Child
           usually
           is
           .
           Thirdly
           ;
           we
           have
           great
           reason
           to
           conclude
           it
           is
           a
           cheat
           ,
           because
           all
           Physicians
           and
           Phylosophers
           do
           affirm
           that
           it
           is
           impossible
           for
           a
           Child
           born
           in
           the
           eighth
           month
           to
           live
           ,
           but
           we
           need
           not
           go
           to
           those
           ,
           for
           Common
           Experience
           tels
           us
           it
           is
           true
           .
           Therefore
           the
           Jesuites
           who
