Huntington Library and Art Gallery and Bodleian Library. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. 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).

Gentlemen and Friends , WE have given you so full , and so true an Account of our Intentions , in this Expedition , in our Declaration , that as ; we can add nothing to it , so we are sure you can desire nothing more of us . We are come to preserve your Religion , and to restore and establish your Liberties and Properties , and therefore we cannot suffer our selves to doubt , but that all true Englishmen will come and concur with us , in our desire to secure these Nations from POPERY and SLAVERY . You must all plainly see , that you are only made use of as Instruments to enslave the Nation , and ruine the Protestant Religion , and when that is done , you may judge what ye your selves ought to expect , both from the cashiering of all the Protestant and English Officers and Souldiers in Ireland , and by the Irish Souldiers being brought over to be put in your places ; and of which you have seen so fresh an instance , that we need not put you in mind of it . You know how many of your Fellow Officers have been used , for their standing firm to the Protestant Religion , and to the Laws of England , and you cannot flatter your selves so far as to expect to be better used , if those who have broke their word so often , should by your means be brought out of those streights to which they are reduced at present . We hope likewise , that you will not suffer your selves to be abused by a false notion of Honour , but that you will in the first place consider , what you owe to Almighty God and your Religion , to your Country , to your Selves , and to your Posterity , which you , as Men of Honour , ought to prefer , to all private Considerations and Engagements whatsoever . We do therefore expect , that you will consider the Honour that is now set before you , of being the Instruments of serving your Country , and securing your Religion , and we will ever remember the Service you shall do us upon this Occasion , and will promise to you , that we shall place such particular marks of our favour on every one of you , as your Behaviour , at this time , shall deserve of us , and the Nation ; in which , we will make a great distinction , of those that shall come seasonably , to joyn their Arms with Ours , and you shall find us to be Your Well wishing , and Assured Friend , W.H.P.O.
