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).

With his CONFESSION . Col. HOne ! Oh! Hone ! Oh! Hone ! Oh! Hone. What dismal Voice is this , nay , now I find I must be Hang'd . This is as the Sound of the last Trump , shril and terrible as Death . Col. Do you not know me yet , That and that for your Confession . ( Pinches him ) Hone. Oh my Ribs ! Oh my Side ! Col. The Tryal being so near at the Old Baily , I am sent to Torment thee , my Ghost shall haunt thee to the Gallows if thou Confess a Syllable . Hone. My Journeyman Stephen ! the Protestant Joyner ! Chip of the Old Block of Rebellion ! dost thou not know thy old Master ? Col. Yes , yes my old Master the Protestant Carpenter that Wainscoted the Room at the Devil for the Green Ribbon Club , and Carv'd Rebellion and the Sacred Slaughter of Kings about the Frames and Chimny Pieces . Yes , Hone the Carpenter that hew'd out the way to Destruction , that swore the Death of Kings and Princes , and now swears as hard for em and against himself , Hone the betrayer of the Cause , and Impeacher of the Brethren , Hone the Apostat , Hone the Backslider , Hone the Turncoat , Hone the Changling . Hone. Now let me die for a Traytor , if thou be not thy self this very Apostat , this Turncoat , this Changling . Now thou art Chang'd since I see thee ? thou look'st as if thou hadst been hang'd alive upon one of thy own Gibbets , and fed all this while upon Shavings and Saw dust . Col. Yes , I was foreman of the Plot , and carv'd it and plain'd it , till I made it as smooth as a Deal Board . Any fool that kenw how to manage it might nap upon a King. But you with your hacking , and hewing , your splitting and sawing , have saw'd it all to pieces . Your selves dropt into the Saw-Pit , and lye Buried in your own Dust . Hone. Indeed we have wanted thy helping hand , the Cause has gone much down the Wind since so hopeful a Branch was lopt off from the Root of Rebellion . Where hast thou been all this while . Col. In Hell , In a deeper Vault then Deerhams Dungeon , 16 Fathom beneath the Lowermost Abyss where this Plot was first brew'd , and where such Plotters will be Rewarded . Hone. Indeed this was a Reach beyond the Devils Ela. But what hast thou been doing all this while ? Col. Building of Gibbets for Traytors and King-Killers , and now they come so fast , that I want a Journeyman . Hone. Canst thou not Remove Tyburn , it will save a world of Carpenters Work. Col. That 's kept for Whigs and Plotters in this Life ; How Shad — l and the fat Turnspit wou'd make a Gallows swag , there are others have out-run the Constable ; But hang it , Rebellion is nothing till they be catch'd . Hone. Prethe Stephen , who was catch'd at Oxford . Col. If I was catch'd , I made no pittiful howling Lamentation , or whining Confession , to the betraying of the Cause or the Brethren ; I brazend it out to the last . Hone. With more then the Doctors Impudence till the Rope choaked thee , for a Lye never wou'd . But prethee tell me , for thy excellent Skill in Joyning Dissenters , and Turning Monarchy into a Common-Wealth , how has thy Master the Devil Imploy'd thee ever since thou dropt from the Tree at Oxford , like a solon Goose into the Lake . Col. The first two Years I was Imploy'd in making Protestant Flayls . Hone. Protestant Flayls ! I can tell thee where there are Five Thousand at this time in one place . Col. You had best tell the King and Council . Hone. I have done it already . Col. Now 5000 Legions of Devils with 5000 Flayls , be dashing out thy Brains for 5000 years together , was there ever such an Ass trusted with so great a Secret ? Hone. Was there ever such an Owl in Pursuit of the Eagle , when thou oughtest to have been mouseing amongst thy own Vermin at home . Well , thou art an Angel of Light , and the Ass cannot chuse but open his Mouth . What hadst thou to do at Oxford with thy Arms , and Armour Cap a Pe , and Protestant Flayls to dash out the Brains of Monarchy , and overturn the whole structure of Church and Government . Thou designedst a plaguy turn in the State , but that thou hadst thy last turn at the Gibbet , and lest as thy Journey-men to do thy work at New-Market , where our whole Plot was overturn'd , and now it is come to our turn to follow . Col. Indeed your Plot at New-Market , your Cart cross the vvay , your tvventy Blunderbuses , six Inches Diamiter ; your Horse-Races and Hunting Matches , your Arms and Insurrections , were in a fair way to take effect . But Fires and Dissolutions are fatal to our Conspiracies . Hone. And a Rope will put an end to ' em . Col. With your Cowardly Confessions , and Treacherous Impeaching of one another . Hone. Woud'st thou have me to brazen it out like thy self , and go to the Devil with a Lye in my Mouth ? Will a Vote of the Factious Rump save us from the Curse of King-Killing hereafter ? Will our putting it upon the Papists ( as Oats did on Pickerin ) pass upon the Devil . Will M — pass for a Head-piece ? West for a wise Councellor , or the Solamanca Bloud-sucker for a Saviour in the other World ? For my part , before I have to do with such a pack of Rebels , I 'le turn Loyal , Confess , and Repent though I hang for 't . The Ghost had no sooner-heard him talk of Repentance , but with much Indignation incensed , he Vanish'd in a Flash of Fire , throwing the Bed-Staves about the Room , and the Doors oft the Hing's , with that Terrible Noyse , that it shook the Foundation of the uppermost Hell. With a terrible ratling of Links and Chains ; The Noyse was given out that a Prisoner had escaped , which Alarm'd the Captain , and his Janizarys to pursue , but they could not catch him .
