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).

It is a well twined Wheelband , The like whereof you never heard , But now shall plainly understand . The twineing of the Wheelband . To a pleasant new Tune , Or , London is a brave Town . A Begger got a Beadle , a Beadle got a Yeomen , A Yeoman got a Prentice a Prentice got a Freeman , A Freeman got a Master , a Master got a Lass , On her was got a Gentleman a Justice of the Peace . So twin'd the Wheelband , the well twin'd Wheelband , The like whereof you never heard the twineing of the Wheelband The Justice he was rich and noble in desire , He married with a Lady , and so begat a Squire , The Squire got a Knight who is Country quire forsook , To travel into France and there begat a Duke . So twin'd the Wheelband , the well twin'd wheelband , The like whereof you never heard , the twineing of the wheelband . The Duke begat a Prince , the Prince a King of hope , The King begat the Emperor , the Emperor got the Pope . The Pope begat a Fryer , the Fryer begot the Nun , And so you may hear how their Pedigrees begun , 'T is a well twin'd wheelband , the like whereof you never heard , But now shall plainly understand , the twineing of this wheelband . The Nun she chanc'd to slumber , and laying bare her Rump , The ball'd pate Fryer bob'd her , and so begat a Monk. The Monk begat a Daughter who could both lye and huff , She married to a Barrister , and quickly got a Ruff. So twin's &c , The Ruff it took good counsel , good counsel got a Fee , The Fee begot a Serjant , thus runs the Pedigree . The Serjant got a triple cap which a good Lawyer spoil'd , By getting ease and Gout , he once more got a child . So twin's &c. A Dog he got a Bayliff , who Cerbrus like could roar , And dayly hunt a bout the Town to terrify the poor , The Bayliff got a Turnkey , the Turnkey got a Jaylor , Who hell-hound like do suck the blood of those the Bums do hail there . So twines &c. The Jaylor got an under Sheriff , the under got an upper , Who can fright a Country town by shaking of his crupper , He married to a Virgin that was of some renown , And plying on her briskly begot a Scarlet Gown , So twin'd &c. The Gown is got a Merchant who sending Ships to Sea , By bringing o're uncustom'd Goods , grew rich immediately , He strideing of a Boat Swains wife , Wo became a Captain by sighting very hot , So twin'd &c. The Captain got a Collonel , the Collonel he was tall , And by leaping trenches became a General The General was eager in pursuit of fame , And in a little space begat a dreadful name , So twined &c. And thus may you see now how are since Adams time The Pedigrees ran round as the Wheelband did twine , From the lowest to the highest and then back again , In continual motion this Wheelband does remain , So merrily twin'd the wheelband the well twined wheelband , By this you may plainly understand the twineing of this wheelband .
