         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).

           a
           Translation

           since
           he

           though
           it
           pretend

           is
           really
           intended

           Dr.
           Walker

           It
           would
           fain
           be
           accounted
           an
           impartial
           Narrative

           the
           particular

           defended
           the
           Place

           but
           it
           insensibly
           degenerates
           into
           a
           palpable
           partiality
           ,
           and
           an
           ungenerous
           design
           ,
           to
           magnify
           a

           it
           is
           a
           long-winded
           Paraphrase

           be
           resolved

           a
           Confutation

           directly
           contrary

           such
           things

             I
             have
             offered
             this
             Part

           strictness
           of
           Life

           can
           presume

           but
           in
           this
           place
           it
           must
           be
           meant

           deliberate
           Lye

           two

           Preface

           did
           you
           really
           
             find
             it
             necessary
          
           to
           expose
           Dr.
           Walker
           at
           such
           a
           rate

           by
           
             taking
             notice
             of
             the
             Articles
             against
             him
             ?
          
           Did
           you
           find
           it
           requisite
           so
           bluntly
           to
           scorn
           and
           ridicule
           him
           to
           represent
           him
           as
           a
           Jack-a-lent

           fabulous
           Hero

           This
           is
           rudeness
           in
           the
           abstract
           ,
           this
           is
           a
           Language
           that
           deserves
           a
           more
           severe
           reprehension
           ,
           than
           the
           lash

           wherein
           you

           Magisterially
           degrade
           him
           from
           his
           Station
           of
           Governour
           ,
           and
           so
           spitefully
           detract
           from
           his
           Fame
           and
           Reputation

           acknowledging
           and

           him
           to
           be
           Governour
           from
           the
           very
           beginning
           of
           the
           Siege
           ,
           as
           well
           as
           attesting
           his
           singular
           Prudence
           and
           Circumspection

           part
           of

           him
           of

           ,
           and
           asperseth
           him
           with
           a
           Train
           of
           Articles

           which
           never

           defamatory
           Narrative

           it
           is
           a
           matter
           of
           too
           great
           Importance
           to
           be
           answered

           the
           quick
           ,
           and
           it
           will
           concern

           and
           his
           Accomplices

           find
           to
           their
           cost
           ,
           that
           tho'
           Dr.

           a
           Hero

           yet
           he
           will
           not
           be
           found
           so
           tame
           and
           insensible
           an
           Animal
           ,
           to
           suffer
           himself
           to
           lie
           under

           intollerable
           Calumnies
           ,
           but
           will
           use
           all

           means

           for
           the
           exorbitant
           damages
           he
           sustains
           by
           a
           scandal
           so
           highly
           injurious

           I
           say

           that

           Dr.

           the
           Title
           of
           an
           Hero
           ,
           yet
           I
           can
           tell
           who
           they
           are
           that
           would
           have
           made
           him
           one
           ,
           when
           they
           advised
           him
           to
           enter
           the
           City
           of
           London
           publickly
           ,
           that
           so
           he
           might
           be
           Huzza'd
           into
           Town
           like
           a
           Champion
           indeed
           ;
           which
           he
           modestly
           declined
           ,
           ordering
           the
           Coach-man
           to
           drive
           him
           to
           his
           Lodgings
           by
           all
           the
           private
           ways
           he
           could
           ,
           which
           accordingly
           he
           did
           ,
           by
           going
           out
           of
           the
           usual
           Road
           ,
           and
           so
           disappointed
           the
           expectation
           of
           many
           ;
           for
           the
           Truth
           of
           which
           ,
           I
           appeal
           to
           that
           worthy
           Gentleman

           coming
           to
           London
           ,
           would
           have
           made
           him
           a
           Hero
           indeed
           ,
           and
           of
           his
           own
           party
           ,
           by
           advising
           him
           to
           wait
           on
           His
           MAJESTY
           in
           a
           Souldiers
           Habit

           and
           as
           became
           the
           Governour
           of

           his
           Pardon
           ,
           and
           quickly
           crept
           into
           the
           Black-Coat
           ,
           which
           disappointment

           in

           small
           reason
           apprehend

           what
           should
           move
           Dr.

           to
           expunge
           the

           manner
           of
           persons
           ,
           but
           such
           as
           are
           resolved
           never
           to
           be
           satisfyed
           ,
           that
           Dr.
           Walker
           was

           Letters

           it
           evidently
           appears
           ,
           that
           he
           was
           not

           it

           But
           it
           may
           be
           Objected
           ,
           why
           was
           not
           the
           Mayor
           or
           chief
           Civil
           Magistate
           present
           ?
           The
           Reason
           was
           ,
           because
           the
           said
           Mayor
           was
           one
           
             Cormock
             Oneal
          
           ,
           who
           was
           then
           actually
           a
           Collonel
           in
           the
           late
           King's
           Irish
           Army
           ,
           and
           one
           of
           his
           Privy
           Council
           ,
           and
           whose
           Deputation
           to
           Mr.
           Buchanan
           ,
           a
           suspected
           Person
           ,
           was
           consequently
           also
           void
           ,
           and
           indeed
           the
           entire
           Management
           of
           all
           Affairs
           was
           by
           Election
           devolv'd
           to
           Coll.
           Lundy
           ;
           so
           that
           if
           Capt.
           Hamilton
           ,
           without
           considering
           the
           Intention
           of
           what
           he
           was
           sent
           about
           ,
           had
           followed
           the
           Letter
           of
           his
           Instructions

           the
           particular
           Objected
           ;
           he
           must
           according
           to
           a
           Clause

           them
           (
           notwithstanding
           the
           Enemy

           have
           return'd
           to
           England
           with
           the
           design'd
           Relief
           he
           brought
           ?
           which
           if
           he
           had
           done
           ,
           I
           do
           not
           know
           how
           well
           it
           would
           have
           pleas'd
           this
           Caviller
           .
           But
           I
           appeal
           to
           Men
           of
           Reason

           if
           since
           Capt.
           Hamilton
           was
           under
           an
           impossibility
           of
           Swearing

           in
           his
           Instructions

           before
           the

           chief
           Civil
           Magistrate
           ,
           he
           did
           not
           answer
           the
           drift
           of

           Fidelity
           to
           Coll.
           Lundy
           before
           Persons
           of
           Quality
           and
           Substance
           ,
           and
           considerable
           Interest
           in
           that
           Country
           ;
           and
           if
           it
           was
           not
           the
           best
           expedient
           could
           be
           found
           in
           that
           
           juncture
           ,
           which
           would
           admit
           of
           no
           delay
           ;
           to
           enable
           Capt.
           Hamilton
           to
           deliver
           up
           his
           Trust
           ,
           which
           was
           absolutely
           necessary
           should
           be
           done
           ,
           London-derry
           not
           being
           able
           ,
           without
           the
           succour
           Capt.
           Hamilton
           brought

           Now
           it
           is

           that
           Mr.

           of
           his
           Commission
           ,
           was
