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).

First Draw the Sea , that portion which between , The greater World , and this of ours is seen : Here place the British , there the Holland Fleet , Vast floating Armies , both prepar'd to meet . Draw the whole World , expecting who shall Raign After this Combat , o're the conquer'd Mayn ; Make Heav'n concern'd , and an unusual Star Declare th' importance of th' approaching War. Make the Sea shine with Gallantry , and all The English Youth flock to their Admiral The valiant DUKE , whose early Deeds abroad Such Rage in Fight , and Art in Conduct show'd . His bright Sword , now , a dearer Int'rest draws , His Brothers Glory , and his Country's Cause . Let thy bold Pencil Hope and Courage spread Through the whole Navy by his Highness led ; Make all appear , where such a Prince is by , Resolv'd to Conquer , or resolv'd to Dye . With his Extraction and Heroick mind , Make the proud Sails swell more than with the wind . Preventing Cannon , make his lowder Fame Check the Batavians , and their fury Tame . So hungry Wolves , though greedy of their Prey , Stop , when they find a Lyon in their way . Make him be-stride the Ocean , and man-kind Ask his consent to use the Sea and Wind : While his tall Ships in the bar'd Chanel stand , He grasps the Indies in his Armed hand . Paint an East-wind , and make it blow away . Th' excuse of Holland , for their Navies stay ; Make them look pale , and the bold Prince to shun , Through the cold North , and Rocky Regions run ; To find the Coast , where morning first appears By the Dark Pole , the wary Belgian stears , Confessing now he dreads the English more Than all the dangers of a frozen Shoar ; While , from our Arms , security to find , They fly so far they leave the Day behind . Describe their Fleet abandoning the Sea , And all their Merchants left a wealthy Prey . Our first success in War , make Bacchus crown , And half the Vintage of the year our own ; The Dutch their Wine , and all their Brandy lose , Dis-arm'd of that from which their Courage grows . While the glad English to relieve their Toyl , In Healths to their great Leader drink the spoyl . His high Command to Africks Coast extend , And make the Moor before the English bend ; Those barb'rous Pyrats , willingly receive Conditions , such as we are pleas'd to give . Within those Streights make Hollands Smyrna Fleet , With a small Squadron of the English meet ; Like Falcons these , those like a numerous Flock , Of scattering Fowl , which would avoid the shock . There Paint Confusion in a various shape , Some sink , some yield , and flying some escape ; Europe and Africa from either Shoar Spectators are , and hear our Cannon roar . While the divided World in this agree , Men that fight so , deserve to rule the Sea. LONDON ; Printed in the Year 1665.
