         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).

             introduction

             the
             design

             ;
             but
             he
             came
             close
             to
             me
             ,
             and
             told
             me
             ,
             a
             person
             had
             been
             with
             him
             concerning
             this
             matter

             and
             that
             indeed
             they
             had
             a
             jealousie
             of
             Mr.
             Blood
             ;
             and
             if
             I
             would
             discover
             any
             thing
             of
             that
             nature
             against
             him
             ,
             I
             should
             have
             4
             or
             500
             l.
             for
             my
             pains
             .
             To
             this
             I
             seemed
             to
             hearken
             (
             but
             was
             much
             surprised
             at
             this
             unexpected
             discourse
             )
             ,
             and
             did
             plainly
             see
             their
             design
             was
             to
             turn
             the
             Game
             another
             way
             ,
             as
             he
             said
             before
             .
             I
             did
             not
             discourage
             him
             ,
             but
             told
             him
             I
             would
             consider
             of
             it
             ;
             and
             if
             I
             did
             not
             go
             on
             Thursday
             ,
             I
             would
             see
             him
             again
             ;
             and
             that
             he
             knew
             well
             I
             was
             very
             hard
             to
             believe
             this
             Plot
             ;
             and
             then
             he
             told
             me
             
             that
             he
             could
             bring

             with
             me
             ,
             that
             could
             give
             me

             ;
             but
             I
             being
             in
             haste
             ,
             took
             my

             At
             my
             return

             could

             of
             what
             I

             to
             swear

             He

             no

             but
             his

             by
             Thursday
             morning
             .
             I
             asked
             him
             if
             it
             would
             be
             convenient

             me
             to
             meet
             his
             Friend

             He
             told
             me
             not
             as
             yet
             ,
             for
             he
             was
             very
             wary
             ,
             shy
             ,
             and
             fearful
             of
             being
             betrayed
             .
             I
             told
             him
             I
             thought
             my
             meeting
             with
             him
             was
             not
             material
             ;
             only
             ,
             said
             I

             let
             him
             be
             sure
             to
             secure
             the
             Money
             ,
             and
             he
             needs
             not
             doubt
             of
             effecting
             the

             all

             him
             for
             this
             service
             ,
             that
             is

             a
             melting
             Cash
             ,
             and
             I

             and
             you

             a
             long
             time
             waiting
             here
             ,
             almost
             to
             my
             utter
             ruin
             ,
             and

             I

             you
             shall
             have
             interest

             there

             the

             Why

             I

             I
             hear
             ,
             said
             I
             ,
             the
             Parliament
             is
             Prorogued

             and
             that
             is
             true
             enough
             ,
             said
             he
             ;
             and
             till
             they
             meet
             again
             ,
             we
             can
             receive
             no
             great
             damage

             But
             ,
             said
             he
             ,
             I
             hear
             the
             Apprentices

             ready
             to

             Newgate

             Said
             I
             ,
             then
             I
             suppose
             that
             is
             ,
             because
             the
             men
             
               [
               Jesuits
            
             ]
             are
             not
             executed
             .
             What
             else
             ,
             said
             he
             ?
             and
             that
             is
             our
             great
             danger
             ,
             that
             the
             people
             should
             run
             into
             a
             Rebellion
             before
             we
             accomplish
             our
             business
             .
             I
             asked
             him
             if
             he
             had
             taken
             an
             Abstract
             ,
             as
             he
             said

             would

             of

             that
             man
             in
             the
             prison
             could
             swear
             ,
             to
             take

             tell
             them

             but
             I

             is
             so
             ,

             whereof

             and
             he
             wrote
             two

             three
             Lines
             ,
             and

             they
             told
             me

             that
             matter
             ;
             whereupon
             he
             said
             ,
             that
             he
             was
             in

             that
             if
             he
             had
             not
             help
             speedily
             ,
             he

             the
             Common-side

             I
             told
             him
             that
             money
             was
             so
             scarce
             with
             me
             ,
             that
             I
             could
             not
             lend
             him

             but
             if

             could
             ,
             I
             would

             Whereupon
             he
             called
             me

             the
             Gate
             ,
             and
             told
             me
             ,
             That
             if

             he
             would
             put
             me

             I
             asked
             him
             how
             ?
             he
             told

             their

             believed

             so
             ;
             he
             answered
             ,
             it
             should
             not
             be
             to
             his
             prejudice
             .
             To
             which
             I
             answered

             why
             then
             with
             all
             my
             heart

             to
             try
             what
             more
             I

             out
             of

             On
             the
             30th
             I
             went

             that
             I
             had
             met

             ;
             and
             he
             seemed
             to
             be
             angry
             ,
             and
             thought
             we
             had
             not
             discovered
             all
             we
             knew
             .
             And
             I
             told
             Nettervile
             ,
             that
             although
             he
             had
             promise
             of
             his
             pardon
             ,
             yet
             it
             was
             expected
             he
             should
             do
             more
             for
             it
             than
             he
             had
             done
             :
             As
             for
             my
             part
             ,
             said
             I
             ,
             you
             know
             I
             could
             discover
             nothing
             ,
             but
             what
             discourse
             passed
             betwixt
             you
             and
             I
             ,
             and
             that
             I
             have
             done
             to
             the
             full
             .
             Therefore
             ,
             if
             you
             know
             any
             more
             ,
             I
             would
             advise
             you
             to
             discover
             it
             ;
             for
             since
             you
             have
             gone
             thus
             far
             ,
             I
             think
             you
             ought
             not
             to
             conceal
             any
             thing
             of
             what
             you
             know
             more
             .
             The
             Grand
             thing

             perceive

             you
             ,
             and
             that
             which
             I
             think
             is
             all
             they
             can
             expect
             from
             you
             ,
             is
             ,
             That
             you
             would
             declare
             from

             my
             advice
             ,
             and
             told
             me
             ,

             they
             had
             asked
             him
             .
             And
             if
             they
             had
             any
             thing

             I

             Upon

             him
             satisfaction

             then
             he

             that
             he
             had
             not
             been
             ingenuous
             with
             them

             thing
             from
             him

             also
             ,
             that

           the
           intentions
           of
           the
           Romanists

           the
           natural
           consequence
           thereof
           would
           have
           been

           I
           leave
           to
           thy
           own
           conjecture

           circumstance

           as
           a
           farther
           Confirmation
           of
           their
           wicked
           design
           in
           this
           matter

           viz.
           
        
         
           That
           several

           were
           a
           little
           before

           discovery
           at
           the
           Houses
           of
           some
           Presbyterians

           pray
           their
           charitable
           contribution

           upon
           this
           specious
           ,
           though
           false
           suggestion
           ,
           That
           His
           Majesties
           allowance
           was
           not
           sufficient
           for
           their
           incouragement
           ;
           but
           the
           parties
           to
           whom
           they
           applied
           themselves
           (
           supposing
           their
           intentions
           were
           to
           abuse
           their
           King
           and
           Countrey
           ,
           and
           to
           procure
           Coyn
           for
           themselves
           )
           ,
           rejected
           them
           with
           checks
           ;
           and
           it
           was
           well
           they
           did
           ;
           for
           otherwise
           ,
           who
           knows
           what
           advantage
           they
           might
           have
           made
           thereof
           ,
           in
           order

           wicked
           enterprize
           ?
        
         
           And
           thus
           I
           have
           done
           ,
           trusting

           be
           constantly
           engaged

           for
           the
           frustration
