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 His MAJESTIES Birth Day . I. TO offer up high to this Days Celebration , The Birth of our Glorious KING ; No Gums nor Perfumes from Arabia wee 'l bring , Nor Sweets from the Zephyrus Grove ; The HEART that is Loyal and free from Invasion , Is the Incense that pleases our JOVE . Let Zealots strut on , puft up with Ambition Of Riches and Fame , the Source of Sedition , Whence Treason and Jealousie springs , With such a lost Wretch who would change his Condition ; For Fame is an Eccho , and Riches have Wings , Whilst Loyalty sleeps in the Bosom of Kings . Chorus . Then to render a Grateful Oblation , Of our Hearts wee 'l an Offering lay down ; From the Counterfeit Imps of Invasion , 'T is Loyalty guards the Crown . II. Since then this Glad Day with the Gods did record Him A MARS in the Annals of Fame ; This Day we devote to that Glorious Name , Since Rebels their Shame did expose , And Heaven through a Series of Wonders restor'd Him To Triumph in spight of his Foes . Let a Volley go round at so solemn a Season , Let Care be a Pain , and a Sigh be held Treason , Whilst zealous Debauches repine ; To be Drunk with Rebellion is a Sot without Reason ; Would you seek a Vertue more Noble in Wine ? 'T is LOYALTY flows from the Bottom of Mine . Chorus . Then to render , &c. III. With LOYALTY crown'd each man fill a Brimmer , A Health to our Soveraign JAMES ; Whose Courage his Conquests so loudly proclaims , The Gods from all Treasons defend ; But for the Pretender and Bigotted Trimmer , The Gibbet and Vengeance attend . With LOYALTY arm'd and wing'd with ALLEGIANCE , Advanc't with our JOVE to the uppermost Regions Triumphant in 's Chariot wee 'l ride ; Whilst Captivate Rebels that kick at Obedience , Like Icarus scorcht in the height of his Pride , Shall drop in the Ocean and fall with the Tide . Chorus . Then to render , &c. LONDON , Printed for Gilbert Cownly at the Popes Head in the Lower Walk of the New Exchange in the Strand , 1685. Licensed October 10. 1685. R. L. S.
