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).

By Mrs. E. J. in Hartfordshire WHat none , that dare in hand to take a Pen ; And vindicate the most abus'd of Men ! My once Dread Lord and Sovereign , Royal James , So oft by Whigs reduc'd to hard Extreams . First pluck the Beam from thy most Cursed Eye , And meddle not with Principality : The mote in his but small , yet big by vogue , As Mountain Alps ; cries ev'ry Rebel Rogue . Valour and Conduct his Companions were , Nor did he Foreign Enemies e'r fear . But when Domesticks leaves their Lord forelorn , And throws him to a Mob's Contempt and Scorn , Who robb'd and stripp'd Him from his very Cloths , As far from all Remorse , as some break Oaths . Then finds an Injur'd Prince the greatest Woe , That ever Rightful Monarch e'r can know . A King he was , and from a King he came , A Slaughter'd King , to Whigs Eternal Shame . Nor can the Poison of their Lying Lips , His Sacred Name and Harmless Life eclipse . His Pious Memory will Fame out-live ; Justice and Truth his Character shall give . Down Cursing Shimei and Rude Rabshakey , With False Ahitophel , who would betray So well as Him , ev'n his and Future all ; Where Whigs in Council fit , there Princes fall . But O you Damned Rebels , who is 't dare , Assault one single and anointed Hair ? The Sacred Unction by Heaven's Vicar shed , Preserves each Royal Consecrated Head. Long strove ye Vipers , as ye once have done , So well as Father , to destroy the Son. Mistaken Monsters , Heaven did only try , Whether a King could a Good Martyr die ; Else had He never come within your Claws ; Ye Breakers of Divine and Humane Laws . Since such a Thing permitted was to be , 'T was left to a Tribe compos'd of Infamy . The Almighty their Great Wickedness fore-knew , Had they the King of Heaven , the same they 'd do : Him if they could , they would re-crucifie ; And Impiously dethrone the Deity . These are the Curs'd Destroying Fiends of Woe , These are those Thorns , on whom no Grapes can grow ; These are those Choaking Thistles bears no Figgs ; These are Cain's Cursed Seed , Furies and Whiggs . These are the Murtherers of our Tranquil Reft , These even are Those , we all ought to Detest .
