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).

GReat Sir , whilst You these Favours do create For us , You do our Thanks Anticipate : There are no merits on our part , can claim The least from You , Ingratitude 's our shame . What Poets talk Achilles Spear could do , Jove's threats and smiles are verified in You ; If You but say You 'l kill or cure 't is done , 'Twixt Charles and Jove there 's no comparison : You having Conquer'd by Your powerful Armes , Straight by Your kindness salve Your Captives harms ; Making Your Conquests double , by these Arts , You 've won the Field , and gain'd your Enemies hearts . Had You dealt with us as th' Israelites of old With the deceitful Gibconites , have sold Us and our Families for slaves , then we Had known a precedent for Your Clemencie . Our Lives and Liberties to You we owe , And You to us a Fathers pity show , When we'd forgot those hands that did us feed , And gave's relief in greatest time of need . Yet whilst You such unheard of favours show , From guilty breasts some jealous fears do flow , And run in murm'ring streams , these whine and cry , No favour 's offer'd but there 's reason why ; But let such narrow souls repine in vain , We think Your grace as boundless as Your Main : Great Princes like to gods no merits know , From pity or their will their Favours flow ; Since , Royal Sir , you 'r pleased to declare Us Your Free Subjects , it shall be our care To Render double Loyalty to you By our obedience , and our actions too . What our Industry hath brought from foreign 〈◊〉 Is ready to attend Your Royal Commands , Each active hand prepared is to bring Their richest Treasure to Great Britain's King ; No Bank , or Publick Faith , being so secure As is the Faith-Defenders Promise , sure . Your Actions are so just , it may be se'd Astraea from this World to Yours is fled ; So will Your Land e're long be stil'd the Burse , And only Treasury of the Universe . Thus you 'l by Chymick Policy attain What Lully and old Hermes ne're could gain , Whilst the Elixer of Your favours can Attract the India's to Your Ocean , And make the Thames , influenc'd by Your beams , As once Pactolus , run in golden streams . Our Hoogen Moogen's too will think it meet To prostrate themselves and Ships before your Fleet , And lay their Treasures at Your Royal Feet . Thus with these Favours You the World affright , Conquering your Enemies , e're they come to fight ; Each Monarch trembles , and of You's afraid , That with a word their Countries can invade : They oft have felt the force of Britains Sword , But ne're the pow'r Magnetick of Your Word ; The one at random strikes at any part , But this ne're fails to force and win the heart : So shines Your Virtues that the whole world must own That You 're both Charles le Grand , and Charles le Bone.
