         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).

           answer'd
           no

           kept

           Ibrahim
           conceived
           some
           suspicion

           effectually
           followed

           This
           News
           so
           much
           afflicted
           Ibrahim
           that
           having
           embrac'd
           a
           little
           Son

           he
           remain'd
           a
           while
           without
           speaking
           ,

           ,
           &
           weeping
           ,
           he
           commanded
           that
           they
           should
           take
           the
           Child
           away
           ,
           then
           turning
           to
           the
           Capigi
           he
           said
           him
           :
           
             Was
             it
             not
             sufficient
             for
             the
             Court
             the

             confined

             Liberty
             it self
             ,
             but
             that
             it
             must
             also
             deprive
             me
             of
             my
             Life
             ;
             what

             I

             indeed
             confess
             that
             misfortunes
             never
             go
             alone

           casting
           his
           eye
           upon
           the
           string
           that
           was
           to
           strangle
           him

           too
           thick

           he
           cry'd
           
             that
             such
             a
             Cord

           ,
           and
           he
           himself
           made
           a

           by
           him
           more

           of
           October
           was
           resolved
           to

           Policy
           upon
           the

           and
           like
           a

           he
           tryed
           the
           most
           efficacious
           means
           to
           revive
           the
           Blaze
           of
           his

           but
           too
           late

           that
           he

           of
           his
           most
           trusty
           Ministers

           had
           rais'd

           bolder

           Midnight
           into
           Constantinople
           .
           He
           attempted
           the
           Cunningest
           stratagem
           to
           fix
           himself

           main
           force
           in
           the
           Throne

           even
           to
           the
           shame
           of
           angry
           fortune
           ,
           and
           feigning
           to
           know
           it
           to
           be
           impossible
           to
           maintain
           himself
           in
           the
           Imperial

           with
           his
           Brother
           Soliman
           ,
           giving
           to
           understand
           that
           he
           meant
           to
           recommend
           his
           Sons
           to
           him
           ,
           seeing
           it
           became
           him
           to
           give
           way
           to
           the
           force
           of
           his
           Destiny
           ;
           but
           nevertheless
           under
           this
           fiction
           he
           foster'd
           a
           resolute
           Spirit
           to
           take
           away
           his
           own
           Sons
           and
           Brothers
           Lives
           ,
           that
           so
           the
           Army
           might
           be
           compell'd
           to
           continue
           him
           at
           the
           Helm
           ,
           there
           being
           no
           others
           of
           the
           Imperial
           Line

           But
           the
           
             Bostangi
             Pachi
          
           and
           Kizlar-Aga
           conceived
           some
           suspicion
           of
           this
           matter
           ,
           and
           immediately
           made
           the
           Kaimecam
           acquainted
           with
           it
           ,
           who
           coming
           instantly
           ordered
           the
           
             Giuka
             Aga
          
           to
           go
           into
           the
           streets
           near
           the
           Wall
           of
           the
           Seraglio
           ,
           and
           admonished
           the
           
             Grand
             Signior
          
           not
           to
           make
           any
           Attempt
           against
           his
           own
           Blood
           ,
           and
           to
           forbear
           giving
           any
           suspicion
           ,
           by
           seeking
           to
           enter
           into
           the
           Apartments
           of
           his
           Sons
           and
           Brother
           ,
           because
           that
           the
           Ianizaries
           had
           surrounded
           the
           Seraglio
           ,
           and
           would
           surprize
           him
           if
           he
           did
           not
           remain
           quiet
           .
           This
           Enterprize
           being
           also
           thus
           interrupted
           ,
           he
           found
           himself
           Excluded
           from
           all
           means
           of
           maintaining
           himself
           in
           the
           Sovereign
           Degree
           .
        
         
           But
           now
           was
           the
           hour
           come
           that
           he
           was
           to
           Experience
           the
           Vicissitudes
           of
           Humanity
           ,
           passing
           from
           the
           Possession
           of
           a
           vast
           Empire
           to
           the
           narrow
           Compass
           of
           four
           Walls
           ,
           and
           the
           first
           storke
           that
           presag'd
           the
           effect
           ,
           was
           his
           being
           given
           to
           
           understand
           that
           his
           Sons
           were
           taken
           from
           him
           and
           put
           under
           a
           safe
           Guard
           ,
           with
           the
           greater
           security
           to
           cooperate
           for
           the
           Brothers
           safety
           .
           Then
           he
           more
           evidently
           knew
           it
           when
           he
           saw
           himself
           under
           Confinement
           ,
           the
           
             Bostangi
             Pachi
          
           having
           Express
           order
           from
           the
           Kaimecam
           ,
           not
           to
           suffer
           him
           to
           enter
           into
           a
           Boat
           ,
           nor
           so
           much
           as
           to
           stir
           out
           without
           his
           first
           being
           made
           acquainted
           with
           it
           .
           Thus
           was
           the
           Unfortunate
           
             Grand

           than
           a

           short

           This
           man

           indeed
           great
           Authority
           among
           the
           Soldiers

           nay
           more

           the
           Vizir
           himself
           ,
           and
           because
           great
           Persons
           sent
           him
           rich

           these
           things
           made
           the
           Soldiers
           jealous
           that
           he
           was
           corrupted
           with

           and
           at

           slaves
           and
           knives
           miserably
           killed
           him
           .
        
         
           There
           is
           some
           appearance

           jump
           in

           the
           ensuing
           Campagne

           The
           truth
           is
           that
           they
           have
           been
           hamper'd
           afresh
           by
           the
           tumults

           the
           Soldiery

           still
           adherr'd
           to
           the
           deposed
           Sultan
           ,
           whence
           they
           have
           judg'd
           it
           a
           prudent
           Resolution
           to
           Separate
           the
           Peaceable
           from
           the
           Tumultuous
           ,
           whereupon
           a
           number
           of
           the
           Militia
           were
           transported
           into
           Asia
           ,
           and
           thus
           the
           Hurly-Burlies
           were
           a
           little
           allay'd
           and
           quieted
           .
           After
           which
           the
           Divan
           came
           to
           a
           Determination
           of
           utterly
           abandoning
           the
           thoughts
           of
           Hungary
           ,
           seeing
           there
           were
           no
           hopes
           of
           keeping
           it
           ,
           thinking
           it
           sufficient
           to
           send
           some
           Troups
           for
           the
           defence
           of
           Belgrade

           and
           the
           neighbouring
           Places
           ,
           contriving
           to
           unite
           the
           whole
           strength
           of
           the

           send
           him
           to
           Negropont
           to
           maintain
           that
           Country
           ,
           which
           much
           more
           conduces
           to
           the
           advantage
           of
           the
           Ottoman
           Empire
           ,
           and
           at
           the
           same
           time
           the
           Tartars
           should
           with
           their
           own
           forces
           oppose

           Poles
           ,
           as
           they
           had
           done
           in
           the

           Campaign

           But
           these
           Resolutions
           were
           quite
           interrupted
           by
           the
           coming
           of
           a
           Tartarian
           Envoy
           ,
           at
           the

           time
           dispatcht

           of
           his
           Prince
           represented
           to
           the
           Port

           that
           the

           ever
           constant
           in
           their
           fidelity
           and
           good
           Correspondence
           with
           Turkey
           ,
           had
           at
           all
           times
           exerted
           their
           Affection
           ,
           even
           at
           the
           Cost
           of
           their
           Lives
           and
           fortunes
           .
           That
           they
           had
           the
           last
           Campagne
           by
           artifices
           deluded
           the
           formidable
           forces
           of
           the
           Muscovites
           and
           Poles
           ,
           without
           suffering
           them
           to
           gain
           any
           Advantage
           over
           the

           But
           that
           is
           for
           the
           ensuing
           Campaign
           ,
           they
           know
           it
           impossible
           for
           them
           to
           make
           Resistance
           against
           the
           great
           Military
           Preparations

           that

           making

           in

           they
           were
           not

           This
           Seemed
           a
           Thunder-bolt
           ,
           that
           put
           the
           Divan
           into
           the

           Insomuch
           they
           were
           all
           Nonplust
           and
           in
           confusion
           at
           this
           unexpected
           proposall

           Wherefore
           they
           alter'd
           all
           the

           Projects
           more
           sutable
           to
           the
           present
           Exigency
           ,
           some
           Ministers
           urg'd
           that
           it
           would
           be
           a
           mighty
           help
           to
           dispatch
           Ministers
           to
           the
           Christian
           Potentates
           &
           Allies
           and
           by
           any
           means
           to
           procure
           Peace
           .
           That
           they
           should
           send
           a
           blank
           signed
           Paper
           to

           that
           so
           that
           Crown
           laying
           hold
           of
           so
           great
           an
           Advantage
           ,
           
           might
           serve
           for
           a
           means
           to
           quiet
           the
           Muscovites
           ,
           though
           not
           give
           Peace
           ;
           and
           't
           is
           thought
           this
           opinion
           may
           prevail
           ;
           thus
           we
           expect
           what
           Resolution
           they
           will
           six
           upon
           ;
           because
           that
           the
           Ottoman
           Monarchy
           is
           certainly
           at
           present
           like
           to
           a
           man
           in
           great
           danger
           of
           being
           cast
           away
           ,
           and
           who
           to
           save
           himself
           catches
           hold
           on
           the
           very
           Briars
           .
           Thus
           it
           will
           strike
           in
           with
           any
           Course

           the

           year

           much
           more
           capable

           the
           Dignity

           the

           This

           This
           Proclamation
           was
           of
           great
           use

           for

           The
           
             Grand
             Signior
          
           caus'd
           all
           these
           recover'd
           Goods
           of
           the
           Viziers
           to
           be
           restored
           to
           his
           Sons
           ,
           having
           had
           them
           again
           from
           the
           Turks
           ,
           who
           had
           bought
           them
           .
        
         
           Constantinople
           seem'd
           to
           breath
           again
           after
           the
           Oppression
           of
           so
           many
           Tyrants
           ,
           but
           was
           under
           Apprehensions
           of
           being
           tormented
           with
           new
           Impositions
           ,
           because
           that
           the
           Rebells
           in
           the
           Sacking
           of
           the
           aforesaid
           Houses
           ,
           had
           Seiz'd
           on
           fifty
           thousand
           Purses
           of
           Reals
           ,
           which
           they
           had
           divided
           among
           themselves
           ,
           and
           these
           being
           to
           have
           supply'd
           to
           the
           War
           ,
           the
           Treasury
           was
           quite
           drained
           .
           And
           what
           likewise
           augmented
           the
           suspicion
           of
           new
           Disturbances
           was
           the
           answer
           given
           by
           the
           Pacha
           of
           Natolya
           ,
           of
           whom
           the
           Divan
           having
           required
           Succours
           in
           the
           Grand
           Signior's
           name
           ,
           he
           freely
           answer'd
           ,
           that
           he
           knew
           no
           other
           Sultan
           than
           the
           deposed
           one
           ,
           and
           that
           if
           they
           did
           not
           replace
           him
           upon
           his
           Throne
           ,
           he
           would
           come
           with
           all
           his
           forces
           to
           Constantinople
           ,
           and
           joyning
           with
           the
           Christians
           make
           slaughter
           of
           all
           the
           Turks
           ;
           During
           these
           Transactions
           the
           Christians
           have
           been
           much
           better
           treated
           by
           the
           Turks
           than
           they
           were
           ever
           heretofore
           ,
           nay
           the
           Divan
           has
           issued
           out
           a
           Proclamation
           ,
           that
           if
           any
           Turk
           should
           upon
           whatever
           Occasion
           molest
           any
           Christian
           ,
           the
           Artizans
           should
           be
           bound
           under
           the
           severest
           penalties
           to
           rise
           up
           against
           the
           Offender
           .
           I
           suppose
           the
           Turks
           do
           this
           ,
           hoping
           by
           the
           means
           of
           these
           good
           Treatments
           to
           facilitate
           with
           the
           Confederated
           Princes
           the
           attainment
           of
           the
           so
           much
           desired
           Peace
           ;
           seeing
           that
           to
           this
           effect
           they
           had
           design'd
           to
           send
           a
           Minister
           to
           those
           Princes
           to
           require
           it
           ,
           though
           upon
           understanding
           the
           small
           Disposition
           they
           have
           thereunto
           ,
           had
           made
           them
           suspend
           the
           Mission
           .
           Besides
           they
           do
           this
           to
           recompence
           by
           some
           Acknowledgement
