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).

AWake , vain Man ; 't is time th' Abuse to see ; Awake , and guard thy heedless Loyalty From all the Snares are laid for It and Thee . No longer let that busie juggling Crew ( Who to their own mis-deeds entitle You , ) Abuse Your ear : Consider , Sir , the State Of our unhappy Isle , disturb'd of late With causeless Jealousies , ungrounded Fear , Obstinate Faction , and Seditious Care ; Gone quite distracted for Religion's sake ; And nothing their hot Brains can cooler make , ( So great 's the deprivation of their sence , ) But the excluding of their lawful Prince : A Prince , in whose each Act is clearly shown , That Heaven design'd Him to adorn a Throne ; Which ( tho' He scorns by Treason to pursue , ) He ne'r will quit , if it become His due . Then lay betimes Your mad Ambition down ; Nor let the dazling Lustre of a Crown Bewitch Your Thoughts ; but think what mighty care Attends the Crowns that lawful Princes wear ; But when ill Title 's added to the weight , How insupportable's the Load of State ! Believe those working Brains Your Name abuse ; You only for their Property doe use : And when they 're strong enough to stand alone ; You , as an useless Thing , away'l be thrown . Think too , how dear you have already paid , For the fine Projects Your false Friends had laid . When by the Rabbles fruitless Zeal You lost Your Royal Fathers Love , Your growing Fortune cross'd ; Say , was Your Bargain , think ye , worth the Cost ? Remember what Relation , Sir , you bear To Royal Charles ; Subject and Son You are ; Two Names that strict Obedience does require ; What Frenzy then does Your rash Thoughts Inspire , Thus by Disloyal Deeds to add more Cares , To them of the bright Burden that he wears ? Why with such eager speed hunt You a Crown You 're so unfit to wear , were it Your own ? With Bows , and Legs , and little Arts , You try , A rude , unthinking Tumults love to buy : And he who stoops to do so mean a Thing , Shows He , by Heaven , was ne're design'd for King. Would You be Great ? do Things are Great and Brave ; And scorn to be the Mobile's dull Slaves : Tell the base Great Ones , and the shouting Throng , You scorn a Crown worn in anothers wrong . Prove Your high Birth by Deeds Noble and Good ; But strive not to Legitimate Your Bloud . Ephelia .
