         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 <gap>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).

           in
           a
           lodging
           ,
           where
           there
           was
           not
           the
           least
           accomodation
           for
           repose
           .
           But
           what
           could
           we
           expect
           in
           so
           wild
           a
           Country
           ,
           abounding
           with
           nothing
           but
           Hills
           ,
           Dales
           and
           Woods
           ,
           where
           we
           scarce
           met
           the
           face
           of
           a
           man
           ,
           and
           for
           those
           of
           the
           feminine
           Sex
           ,
           they
           well
           might
           be
           compared
           to
           bug-bears
           ,
           which
           made
           me
           think
           of
           often
           ,
           and
           as
           
           often
           remember
           my
           Countrey-women
           ,
           whom
           though
           I
           did
           alwayes
           highly
           value
           ,
           yet
           now
           I
           cannot
           estimate
           enough
           .
        
         
           As
           for
           our
           Horses
           ,
           some
           of
           them
           were
           constantly
           taken
           from
           the
           Plough
           ,
           and
           wearied
           with
           labour
           beforehand
           ,
           so
           as
           't
           is
           no
           wonder
           we
           had
           so
           many
           falls
           .
           But
           one
           that
           had
           not
           plowed
           that
           day
           ,
           and
           so
           was
           more
           lusty
           and
           gamesome
           ,
           got
           loose
           by
           an
           accident
           ,
           and
           ran
           to
           the
           next
           Stage
           before
           us
           ,
           so
           as
           two
           of
           our
           Company
           ,
           (
           to

           And

           mend
           the

           Guide
           in
           the
           night
           ,
           though
           the
           Moon
           was
           very
           clear
           ,
           like
           an
           
             Ignis
             fatuus
          
           
           misled
           us
           up
           and
           down
           ,
           he
           could
           not
           tell
           whither
           ,
           for
           which
           being
           rated
           severely
           ,
           he
           was
           for
           a
           while
           so
           abominably
           unsavoury
           ,
           there
           was
           no
           going
           near
           him
           .
           But
           at
           last
           ,
           by
           good
           fortune
           ,
           we
           lighted
           on
           a
           Village
           ,
           where
           the
           Peasants
           were
           so
           rude
           ,
           or
           so
           fearful
           at
           least
           (
           hearing
           so
           many
           Horsemen
           )
           that
           we
           could
           not
           extract
           a
           word
           from
           them
           ,
           they
           putting
           out
           their
           Candles
           ,
           and
           lying
           like
           Coneys
           in
           their
           Burroughs
           ,
           till
           partly
           by
           threats
           ,
           and
           partly
           by
           good
           words
           ,
           I
           got
           in
           amongst
           them
           ,
           and
           perswaded
           two
           of
           them
           ,
           to
           shew
           us
           the
           way
           to
           the
           neighbouring
           Posthouse
           ;
           which
           at
           last
           taking
           heart
           ,
           they
           ventur'd
           upon
           ;
           but
           when
           we
           got
           
           thither
           ,
           and
           they
           found
           with
           what
           kindness
           we
           us'd
           them
           ,
           they
           repented
           themselves
           they
           had
           been
           so
           inhospitable
           to
           us
           .
           There
           we
           met
           with
           a
           Lutheran
           Parson
           ,
           as
           full
           of
           Wine
           as
           Fat
           ,
           whose
           Latine
           came
           from
           him
           in
           clusters
           ,
           which
           shew'd
           he
           had
           doubled
           his
           Glasses
           .
        
         
           Thence
           we
           posted
           to
           Lizer
           ,
           where
           we
           passed
           the
           Moselle
           ,
           and
           because
           we
           were
           forced
           to
           stay
           there
           for
           Horses
           (
           which
           were
           fetcht
           out
           of
           the
           fields
           from
           their
           work
           )
           we
           din'd
           at
           that
           place
           ,
           and
           had
           excellent
           Wine
           ,
           which
           is
           all
           I
           can
           commend
           ,
           besides
           the
           talking
           Host
           ,
           who
           was
           a
           jolly
           fellow
           ,
           and
           fill'd
           it
           with
           a
           grace
           ,
           and
           drank
           it
           off
           as
           well
           .
        
         
         
           This
           our
           stay
           there
           retarded
           us
           so
           much
           ,
           we
           could
           only
           arrive
           at
           Laufferswiler

           But
           of
           all
           the
           Postilion
           we
           had
           ,
           I
           must
           needs
           tell
           the
           Reader
           of
           one
           ,
           who

           no

           got
           up
           on
           his
           Horse
           ,
           which
           was
           skittish
           ,
           and
           had
           a
           Trunk
           behind
           him
           ,
           but
           the
           Horse
           not
           enduring
           the
           ratling
           and
           weight
           of
           the

           that
           down

           but
           that

           At
           Hanow

           The
           sixth

           we
           met
           with
           a
           Chariot
           and
           six
           Horses
           ,
           all
           the
           rest
           having
           only
           had

           or
           four
           at
           the
           most
           .
           But
           here
           we
           had
           three
           men
           to
           attend
           us
           ,
           one
           riding
           Postilion
           ,
           another
           on
           a
           Horse
           next
           the
           Chariot
           ,
           and
           the
           last
           running
           afoot
           ,
           who
           changed
           by
           turns
           with
           the
           Postilion
           ;
           and
           one
           thing
           I
           observed
           ,
           when
           the
           Horses
           were
           weary
           all
           the
           three
           men
           would
           be
           sure
           to
           get
           up
           .
           In
           this
           manner
           we
           passed
           the
           Spessaert
           ,
           a
           vast
           and
           thick

           in
           the
           morning
           ,
           we
           arrived
           at
           Buda

           formerly

           indeed
           for
           the
           pleasant
           scituation

           a

           The
           place
           looks
           as

           part

           they

           the
           Turks
           generally
           are

           and
           Fodwar
           ,
           arrived
           at
           Tolna
           .
           The
           next
           place
           was
           Waia
           ,
           then
           Mohachz
           ,
           from
           whence
           we
           saw
           the
           Castle
           of
           Zetzchuy
           ,
           the
           ancient
           Seat
           of
           the
           illustrious
           Family
           of
           the
           Palfi
           .
           This
           Town
           was
           very
           fatal
           to
           Hungary
           by
           the
           loss
           of
           King
           Lodowick
           ,
           in
           order
           to
           whose
           death
           various
           things
           are
           reported
           .
        
         
         
           The
           Plain
           where
           the
           Battel
           was
           fought
           is
           about
           half
           a
           League
           from
           the
           place
           ,
           and
           as
           large
           ,
           as
           free
           from
           Wood
           ,
           and
           Incumbrances
           of
           that
           sort
           ,
           but
           the
           River
           Carassus
           glides
           gently
           between
           ,
           whose
           Water
           moves
           so
           slowly
           ,
           it
           hardly
           seems
           to
           stir
           .
           Hither
           the
           King
           fled
           ,
           whom
           the
           darkness
           of
           the
           night
           ,
           and
           the
           fear
           of
           his
           Enemies
           pursuing
           ,
           gave
           not
           time
           to
           explore
           and
           sound
           the
           miry
           passage

           into
           which
           his
           Horse
           rushing
           ,
           and
           falling
           ,
           stifled
           him
           with
           the
           weight
           of
           his
           Armour
           .

           In
           the
           mean
           time
           the
           Ambassadour
           had
           advice
           from
           Adrianople
           ,
           that

             Grand

           so

           if
           he
           made
           too
           much
           haste

           he

           The
           Ambassadour

           was

           Journeys

           where
           we

           one
           of

           commonly
           sounded
           twice

           the

           admir'd
           ,
           so
           I
           wonder'd
           at
           the

           their
           Houses

           till
           they
           told
           me
           ,
           that
           they
           had
           them
           so
           on
           purpose

           to
           hinder
           the
           Turks

           into
           Stables
           .
           And
           I
           likewise
           observed
           ,
           when
           we
           knock'd
           at
           any
           Door

           the
           People
           within
           were
           still
           very
           shy
           to
           admit
           us
           ,
           till
           they
           first
           had
           explor'd
           what
           Company
           we
           were
           in
           ,
           so
           fearful
           they
           are
           of
           the
           Turks
           ,
           from
           whom
           they
           are
           subject
           to
           many
           affronts
           ,
           especially
           when
           in
           Wine

           From
           Philippopolis
           we
           went
           to
           Papasli
           ,
           whose

           The
           next
           day
           we
           came
           to
           Kiral
           ,
           and
           the
           third
           to
           a
           great
           Plain
           ,
           where
           ,
           because
           we
           wanted
           Water
           ,
           we
           went
           out
           of
           the
           way
           ,
           till
           we
           came
           to
           a
           Fountain
           .
           Here
           malignant
           Feavers
           ,
           bloody
           Fluxes
           ,
           and
           other
           dire
           Diseases
           began
           to
           reign
           again
           ,
           which
           some
           of
           the
           Retinue
           had
           caught
           and
           contracted
           ,
           by
           visiting
           infectious
           Cottages
           ,
           as
           also
           by
           eating
           much
           Fruit
           ,
           and
           drinking
           Wine
           cooled
           excessively
           in
           Snow
           ,
           which
           the
           Turks
           had
           procured
           ,
           but
           one
           only
           dyed
           .
        
         
           Here
           likewise
           ,
           while
           the
           Priest
           was
           at
           Mass
           ,
           three
           
           Bulgarians
           brought
           two
           Bears
           and
           a
           Cub
           ,
           which
           were
           taught
           to
           dance
           and
           wrestle
           at
           the
           sound
           of
           a
           Cymball
           ,
           which
           while
           some
           unadvisedly
           minded
           more
           than
           their
           Prayers
           ,
           the
           Basha
           ,
           that
           observ'd
           it
           ,
           was
           displeas'd
           in
           that
           manner
           ,
           that
           he
           commanded
           them
           to
           be
           beaten
           away
           .
        
         
           On
           the
           seven
           and
           twentieth
           we
           arriv'd
           at
           Ormandli
           ,
           where
           we
           saw
           a
           Moschee
           ,
           a
           Caravansaria
           ,
           and
           a
           handsom
           Stone-bridge
           .
        
         
           The
           next
           place
           was
           Mustapha-Basha-Cupri
           ,
           where
           there
           is
           a
           Royal
           Hau
           ,
           or
           Caravansaria
           ,
           which
           I
           thought
           to
           describe
           in
           my
           return
           from
           Constantinople
           ,
           for
           in
           our
           passage
           thither
           we
           say
           without
           
           the
           Towns
           ,
           in
           the
           open
           Fields
           in
           Tents
           ,
           or
           in
           Waggons
           .
           But
           this
           Structure
           being
           Regal
           ,
           and
           the
           best
           I
           have
           seen
           ,
           I
           think
           it
           now
           best
           to
           acquaint
           the
           Reader
           with
           it
           ,
           who
           may
           easily
           fancy

           that
           leads
           in

           a

           stately
           Porch
           ,
           on

           sides
           of

           a
           Building
           as
           vast

           as
           magnificently
           cover'd
           with

           ,
           is
           presented
           to
           the

           'T
           is
           supported

           twenty
           Pillars
