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).

Being a Solemn Protestation of Miles Prance , concerning the Murder of Sir Edmordbury Godfrey , in direct Opposition to a late Protestation made by him on the same subject . WHereas by the suggestion of the Devil , worldly Interest , and my own Malice , I Miles Prance most wickedly devised an horrid Story of the Murder of Sir Edmondbury Godfrey , wherein ( being before-hand secured both of His Majesty's Pardon for the pretended Crime , and of reward for the Discovery , ) I feigned my self a Party , the better to gain Credit to my damnable Forgery . Now I the said Miles Prance , do with unspeakable grief ( though yet not without a firm belief of forgiveness from Almighty God upon sincere repentance ) hereby in the Presence of the All-seeing and Heart-searching God , and of all Holy Angels and good Men , solemnly and unfeigned avow and declare on my Salvation , That whatever I deposed upon Oath , relating either to my own Knowledge and Concurrence in the said Murder , or to any other Person or circumstance touching the same ; was wholly false , and the meer groundless product of my own Devilish invention . For all which my detestable wickedness I crave with a Repentant Heart , ( the Mercy of God ) Pardon of the King , and forgiveness of those whom by my Hellish Malice I have so hainously and unjustly accused . The Substance of this Solemn Protestation as it is here set down , was made , first before Captain Richardson Keeper of Newgate ; And the next day , before His Sacred Majesty at the Council-Board , by MILES PRANCE .
