         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).

           frights

           thank
           our
           Blessed
           Lady

           I
           am
           safe
           got
           out
           of

           It
           would
           be
           troublesome
           to

           how
           often
           I
           was
           upon

           as
           we

           we
           had
           so
           well
           managed
           our
           Affairs

           That
           there
           was
           an

           either

           This
           was
           a
           Method
           which
           it
           was

           into
           a

           That
           it
           was
           in
           reality
           a
           Plot

           the
           Presbyterians

           all
           such
           as
           were
           friends

           the
           Church

             Popishly
             affected
          
           ;
           and
           thus
           by
           ruining
           the
           Supporters
           ,
           the
           Crown
           must
           fall
           of
           course
           ;
           this
           was
           the
           way
           in
           which
           they
           ,
           by
           our
           assistance
           ,
           so
           successfully
           proceeded
           in
           41.
           and
           nothing
           could
           make
           it
           more
           plain
           ,
           than
           that
           the
           same
           Party
           was
           playing
           their
           old
           Lessons
           over
           again
           .
           And
           as
           we
           did
           then
           in
           a
           great
           measure

           effect
           our
           Designs
           ,
           and
           manage
           the
           Heats
           ,
           till
           they
           burnt
           down
           all
           ,
           so
           we
           were
           not
           without
           hopes
           to
           do
           the
           same
           ,
           and
           like
           flints
           ,
           by
           striking
           them
           one
           against
           another
           ,
           to
           dash
           them
           in
           pieces
           ,
           and
           fire
           the
           several
           Factions
           ;
           and
           when
           they
           were
           of
           all
           sides
           sufficiently
           weaken'd
           ,
           under
           pretence
           of
           supporting
           the
           weaker
           Party
           ,
           to
           bring
           in
           the
           power
           of
           the
           most
           
             Christian
             King
          
           ,
           to
           make
           them
           Friends
           by
           subduing
           both
           ;
           which
           was
           an
           advantage
           we
           might
           reasonably
           hope
           for
           now
           ,
           but
           could
           not
           expect
           in
           the
           former
           Revolutions

             Christian
             Majesty
          
           was

           this

           how

           next
