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).

MR. Newland was conveyed to Tyburn in a Coach , out of which he ascended into a Cart ; many spectators being present , he spake nothing to them . His whole deportment was very humble and serious , as became him in the near approach of his Death . I exhorted him to beg of God strength of Faith , a submissive Resignation of himself to the mercy of a gracious Redemer . He replied , that he had no other refuge to comfort him in this his distress . After several Prayers , he desired the 32d Psalm might be sung ; accordingly it was . At my departure out of the Cart , he gave me a paper , written with his own hand and subscribed Francis Newland , in which is very pathetical good Counsel to his Friends , and all other young Persons : He desired me to publish it in print , it began thus . Tho I am come hither , publickly to dye , for a barbarous Murrher , I declare ( as I hope for mercy from God ) that I had not my hand in this murther . Indeed I was an Eye witness , but knew nothing of the quarrel , nor was any way concerned in it . Neither was any other persons , except James Philboy , and Daniel Tully . Notwithstanding there were several swords drawn in the Street , no one injured the deceased , that I saw ; but on the contrary several would have parted them had they not been prevented by Tully , which was my only reason of drawing my sword . Notwithstanding I publickly suffer death , no one wishes better success to my Country . I heartily forgive all who have injured me , as I hope all do me , whom I have injured . I wish all People , and especially my Friends and Acquaintance , that my unfortunate End , may be a sufficient means to prevent them from any thing , which may in the least cause them to depend on others mercies . It is not for me now to insist upon this , since I am at peace with all the World. I shall say something to detain all people from idle quarrelsome company , which undoubtedly is the inlet to all other mischief , and misfortune , as by me plainly appears . I suffer ( I heartily believe ) a most just reward , for my past sinful life and conversation . I not long since thought my self as far from this untimely end , as any of my acquaintance ; and therefore I hope , that since in this case I am able to say but very little , that the very Example it self may deter them , from their sinful wicked courses of living ; which undoubtedly will be as severely punisht , if not in this World , in the next , they may shortly expect it , which will be far worse , unless they unfeignedly repent , which can never be too soon , tho it may be too late ; for assure your selves nothing can be half so great a Terror to a man ? , that when leaving this World , to find himself altogether unfit for another , and examining himself finds , that he groans under an immense burthen of sin , which he can no way get rid of . The ill consequence of which , I am not able to describe , but must leave them further to consider of it . Tho I bess God , that since my dismal sentance , I have so much reflected on my past life , together with the good advice I had of several people , that that which I thought formerly most dear and pleasant to me , is now so odious and unpleasant ; that were I now at my liberty and accidentally should meet with any of my former acquaintance , I should certainly thin● them all Drunk , were they never so Sober . And I suppose , they , on the contrary , would think me mad . Yet I am so well pleased and satisfied with this my misfortune , that rather than I would give my self over to my former course of life , where I to live , and on my death-bed to undergo the Agonies and Terror which since my sentance I have done , I would first chuse to undergo the cruellest Death that can be afflicted . From Your Vnfortunate Friend , Francis Newland . To all my Friends and Acquaintance . Licensed Febr. 22. LONDON , Printed for E. Mallet , near Fleet-bridge , 1695.
