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).

Reduced to this Form , By John Nicolo Doglioni . Translated out of Italian . London , Printed for W. Crook at the Green Dragon without Temple-Bar . 1676. TO THE READERS . TO remove all Doubts about this Proposition , as to the First Part of this Book , you must understand , That the most noted Persons , first from Adam to Joseph , A. M. 2198. are all Descendents one from another . From the death of the said Joseph , and the servitude of the Jews from Moses to Saul , A. M. 2889. they were all Judges ; and from Saul to the Captivity , A. M. 3372. Kings of the Jews . Then from Darius to Alexander the Great , succeeded the Monarchy of the Persians ; and from the said Alexander to Octavianus , is the Reign of the Grecians ; and then came in the Emperors of Rome to Leopold the First then Reigning . But because from the time of Charles the Great , in the year of our Lord 801 , there were two Emperors ; the one in the East , at Constantinople , and the other in the West , you have an account of those of Constantinople , to the taking of that City by the Turks , A. C. 1453. which are not so exactly mentioned by Historians , especially to the days of John Cattacusinus ; and therefore it is no wonder , if there be any mistake of the former times . As for the rest , all things are clearly demonstrated , and therefore there is no need of any further explaining thereupon . As to the Second Part , it was collected by a very diligent observer of many years Actions therein named , which you may the easier be convinced of , when you may see the day of the Moneth to every Action and Passage : Which exactness you cannot find in any other Book of this kind whatsoever .
