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).

Lord Mayor Elect , At Guild-Hall , Sept. 29 , 1681. Gentlemen , and Worthy Citizens , I Give you all my hearty thanks for the great honour you have done me this day , in chusing me your chief Magistrate for the Year ensuing . It is a very great Trust you have reposed in me ; and a high and honourable Employment to which you have called me . It shall be my great Care , to the uttermost of my Power , with God's Blessing , and your Assistance , to discharge it faithfully . It is a Work I never did , and requires that strength I never had , which I hope the Lord will grant me . God by you hath called me to it , and I trust will carry me through it . Magistracy is an Ordinance set up by Divine Authority , and Government is appointed for the good of Mankind , to keep the World in Order , to which is due great Reverence and Obedience ; I wish all Men did their Duty . I am sorry to hear and see such great Divisions amongst us ; certainly they are in a great Error that are promoters of them . It 's the Design of Rome to divide us ; it will be the wisdom of Protestants to prevent and disappoint them , by living together as Brethren in unity amongst themselves . And my Request to you all is , to exercise Christian Charity , to forbear reproaching and backbiting one another ; to study quietness among your selves , to discourage Sin and Wickedness , to promote Piety and Godliness : which will bring Glory to God , Honour to the King and his Government , Peace , Happiness and Prosperity to this City ; which God Almighty grant , and let all the People say , Amen . LONDON , Printed for Jonathan Robinson , at the Golden Lyon in St. Paul's Church-yard , 1681.
