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 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).

Occasioned by his MAIESTIE'S Last Gracious Speech , when he was pleas'd to Express His Willingness to Maintain the Truly Antient Protestant Religion . By R. W. D. D. LICENSED , November the 14 th . 1678. PLot on , Proud Rome ! and lay thy damn'd Design As low as Hell , we●ll find a Countermine : Wrack thy curst Parts ! and when thy utmost Skill Has prov'd unable to effect thy Will ; Call thy Black Emissaries , let 'em go To summon Traytors from the Shades below , Where Infant Treason dates its Monstrous Birth ; Is nurst with Care , and after sent on Earth : To some curst Monks ; or wand'ring Iesuites Cell ; Where it thrives faster , than it did in Hell ! Call Bloody Brutus up , Lean Cassius too ; Let Faux , and Catesby both , be of the Crew ! — Nay , rather than want Help , let your BULLS run ; And Damn the Devil , if he do not come ! Yet after all your Plots , and Hatchings , we , ( So long as CHARLES , and 's Senators agree ) Will warm our Hands at Bone-fires , Bells shall Ring ; And Traytor 's Knells no longer Toll , but Sing . We doubt not Rome , but Maugre all thy Skill , The Glorious GOD of our Religion will , In spite of all thy Art , preserve It still ! And his peculiar Care of It to shew , Defend in Health , It s Great DEFENDER too ! I' th' Interim , Do thou new Crimes invent , And we 'll contrive as Subtle Punishment . 'T is Autumn now with us ; and every Tree , Instead of Fruit , may bend with Popery . 'T would be a Novel , tho no hated Sight , If every Bough should bear a Iesuite ! We 'll meet your Plots with Pikes , Dangers with Swords ; And stead of long Cravats , we 'll lend you Cords . Each Stab in Private , we 'll with Use return : And whilst one Hangs , the other he shall Burn ; Till Tybourn's long impoverish't Squire appear Gay as the Idol , fills the Porph'ry Chair . Yes , Mighty CHARLES ! at thy Command we 'll run Through Seas of Rebels Blood , to save thy Crown . Our Wives , Estates , and Children too , shall be But Whet-stones to our Swords , when drawn for Thee . We 'll Hack and Slash , and Shoot , till Rome Condoles ; And Hell it self , is cloy'd with Traytors Souls : 'Till Godfrey's wronged Ghost ( which still does call For Shoals of Rebels to attend his Fall ) Cryes out , Dear Protestants , no more pursue Their Guilty Blood , my Manes have had their Due ! This , Mighty Monarch ! at thy Beck or Nod , Shall be effected , as Thou wer 't a God ; With so much Readiness , thy Royal Tongue Shall hardly Speak , e're we Revenge the Wrong On thy curst Enemies ; who whilst they state Thy Death , shall feel themselves th' intended Fate ; And by a quick Reverse , be forc't to try The Dire Effects of their own Treachery . Poor Scarlet Harlot , could'st Thou stand in want Of a Genteel , and Generous Gallant , Whose Noble Soul to Baseness could not yield ; But wou'd have try'd thy Int'rest in the Field , We had not thus thy Policies condemn'd ; But thought thee worthy of a Foe , or Friend : Both which , with equal Estimate thou 'lt find , VVere alwayes valu'd by an English Mind . But Thou of late , so Treacherous do'st grow , That we should blush , to own thee either now . Base , and Perfidious too , thou dost appear ; Sland'rest a Pope , and spoyl'st an Emperor . VVhat ! is the Eagle from the Mitre flown ? Is there of Caesar nothing left in Rome ? Must that Renowned City , here-to-fore Fam'd for her Vertues , well as for her Pow'r ; Instead of Consuls , Vagabonds imploy ? And suborn Felons MONARCHS to Destroy ? Bribe Men ( thro VVant made boldly desperate ) To Fire-ball Cities , to their Grov'ling Fate ; VVhil'st Hellish Iesu'ts Porters Garbs profane ; Assist the Fire , and Bless the growing Flame ! Must Romes Great Pope , whose Piety should run As an Example , thro all Christendome ; VVhose Signal Vertues , Arguments should be Of his Admir'd Infallability ? Does he hire Ruffains , Iustices to Kill ; And send the Murd'rers Pardons at his VVill ? Bids them in Hereticks Blood their Hands embrue ; Tells them withal , 'T is Meritorious too ! — If this thy Practice be , false Rome Fare-wel ! — Go , Teach thy Doctrine to the Damn'd in Hell ! Where , by Black Lucifer's Destructive Pride , Thou may'st in part thy Future Fate decide : Whil'st from our City we thy Imps remove , To shake their Heels in some cold Field or Grove . Since both by Ours , and all Mens else , Esteem , They 're fitter to Converse with Beasts , than Men. FINIS . LONDON , Printed for T. G. 1678.
