Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. 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 the Day before the Battel at Aghrim , as it was found among the Papers of his Secretary , who was killed in the Battel . Gentlemen and Fellow-Soldiers , I Suppose it is not unknown to you , and to the whole Christian World , what Glory I have acquired , and how Successful and Fortunate I have been in suppressing Heresie in France , and propagating the holy Catholick Faith ; and can without Vanity boast my self the happy Instrument of bringing over Thousands of poor deluded Souls from their Errors , who owe their Salvation to the pious Care of my thrice Illustrious Master , and my own Industry , assisted by some Holy Members of our Unspotted Church ; while great numbers of those incorrigible Hereticks have perished , both Soul and Body , by their obstinacy . It was for this reason that the most Puissant King my Master , compassionating the miseries of this Kingdom , hath chosen me before so many worthy Generals to come hither : not doubting but by my wonted Diligence I should establish the Church in this Nation on such a Foundation as it should not be in the power of Hell or Hereticks hereafter to disturb it . And for the bringing about of this Great and Glorious Work , next to the Assistance of Heaven , the unresistible Puislance of the King my Master , and my own Conduct , the great dependance of all good Catholicks is on your Courage . I must confess that since my coming among you things have not answered my Wishes , but they are still in a posture to be retrieved , if you will not betray your Religion and Countrey by an unseasonable pusilanimity . I am assured by my Spies , that the Prince of Orange's Heretical Army are resolved to give us Battel ; and you see them even before you ready to perform it . It is now therefore , if ever , that you must endeavour to recover your lost Honour , Priviledges , and Fore-Fathers Estates : You are not Mercenary Soldiers , you do not fight for your Pay , but for your Lives , your Wives , your Children , your Liberties , your Countrey , your Estates , and to restore the most Pious of Kings to his Throne ; but above all for the propagation of the Holy Faith , and the Subversion of Heresie . Stand to it therefore , my Dears , and bear no longer the Reproaches of the Hereticks , who brand you with Cowardice : and you may be assured , that King James will Love and Reward you , Louis the Great will protect you , all good Catholicks will Applaud you , I my self will Command you , the Church will Pray for you , your Posterity will Bless you , Saints and Angels will Caress you , God will make you all Saints , and His Holy Mother will lay you in Her Bosom .
