Reproduction of the original in the National Library of Scotland. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).

His Majesties High Commissioner for the Kingdom of SCOTLAND , HIS GRACE , A Congratulatory welcome of an Heart-well-wishing Quill : HECATOMBE . AWake , dull Muses , from Lethargick Trance ; Apollo calls , in Raptures to advance . Each Quill hath freedom ; now is time or never The Treas'rie of Invention to discover . All Hopes are frustrate of Rebellions Band , Now manacl'd , in blood can no more stand . The venom'd , waspish , mutinous Tongues are known ; 'T will fruitless prove the language such have shown : Enigma Ridling-Satyrs , upon Stage , Self-ruine does to th' Authors but presage : As Night - Owls dare in Day not show their faces , Repining State-Moths would destroy all Peaces . Behold ! behold ! comes th' Atlas of Our Crown , ( Its Good , and Kingdoms Shield ) foes to pull down : His PRINCES Thoughts , Wishes , Desires ( exprest ) Seal'd's in a Loyal Secretaries Brest : Nay more , His Royal Heart He doth present , To signifie His Love to Parliament . What male-contented spirit can he be , Thee does not welcome with alacritie ! While others sleep'd , Thy Contemplation wak'd , Fearing Thy Countreys glory should be shak'd By Circumveening Councels of strange Foes , Whose Vigilance all Machiavils outgoes . No Native , sure , can Thy Intents mistrust ; Prov'd , by Experience , all along , Most just : 'Twixt KING and Subject , betwixt Church and State , Impartiall Vmpire , reconciles Debate . In Albions wildest , and remotest Ground , Makes Concord flourish , and in Fruits abound : A Soveraign Balm , ( Men judging now supposes ) Will cure all Jars 'twixt Thistle and the Roses ; Yea , link Them fast into a Gordian-Knot , And make Amneste by-past wrongs out-blot : So by the Couching Lions 't will be vaunted , The Rampant's Courage makes Them now undaunted : Then who dares touch the Rose to do it harm ! Will find the Thistle a defensive Arm : Whose Pricking Valour , Fatal Chair , and Crown , A Birth-right pleads : no Nation like can owne . But who will judge who hes the prior Seat ? ' Gain when Renuptiat's Britains divorc'd State : Thy Countries Honour late hath so preferr'd , ( Unvoyc'd ) Her Case may to Thee be referr'd : Her dearest Son of Merit , 'bove whose Head The Garlands of Her Throne ne're withered ; Whose Fragrant Leaves to Scepter will , by Thee , As Verdent looks , as when first pull'd from Tree : Strong , Stately Twist , does keep unrent asunder Th' unconquer'd Ophir Closs - Crown , ( Ages Wonder ) Whose Priviledges Thy foreseeing Wit And Martiall Prudence makes in safety sit . But mark ! the Voice of Caesar's great Command , Hes measur'd Britain with His Mighty Hand , Surrounded with the Ocean ( as a Wall Of Brass ) whose force the World can not make fall : Without partition , th' undivided Center , Heav'ns Sey-piece of Creations first adventure : Free from the Evah-bondage of that Tree , Tempt'd Mans Free-Will to infelicitie : Where Providence hath fix'd Her ruling Hand , Under one Head makes Britains Body stand ; Whileas of old upon Her shoulders stood Numbers of Kings , thirsting each others blood : Composed now in one fit Monarchie , Of Head and Members Glorious to see . May His Great World-terr'fying work go on , That Kings may become subjects to His Throne ; Perplex'd too long , by sad Intestine Broyls , Which might have Conquer'd all resisting soyls . O how in fear each Forrain State may stand , Left Britains unknown strength shall Them Command , Thral'd in past Ages , ne're to light could come , Hid as twinn'd-Children wrestling in one womb ; The Mothers Bowels oft have almost burst , Striving who should the other first out-thrust : Whose succinct Laws ( made from Corruption free ) To Athens Schools will prove the Librarie ; Nay , 't will be found , Lacedemoneas Court Of Students , will to Britains Coasts resort : Then by a common Freedome in This Union , Her Natives may Traffique in each Dominion VVith Canvass wing'd , beyond the Lyne may flie , And make our Britain Europs Emporie : So may Thy splendor unto our Horizon The Scepter sway , and Royall power Blazon : Calm stormy Clouds , dispell our Babel Tongues , Compesce Sedition and imagind wrongs : Let Britain become in one State Pollitick , And that Her Church be Scriptures Apostolick , That others may to Her Conformists be , Purg'd from th' impostumes of black Heresie : Thus hence our Law , Religion , and Commerce , Be one , and free throughout the Universe : Then Happy Thou This Union if prove wrought , VVhich former Tymes ne're to perfection brought ; A future blessing to Thy Monarchs Line , Succesfull Heir t'an Hundred Kings and nine . Heav'ns second Thee to Better CHARLES His Waine , Our Boreas Pole , for it THE ONLIE MAN. M.
