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).

THe King of Poland , with the help of the Swedish and Muscovites , shall bring the whole Kingdom of Poland under his Authority , and shall cause the Gospel to be preached throughout all his Dominions , and rout and destroy the Romish Religion throughout all his Realms . 2. Whilst shall the Lyon of the North , or Swedish King , with the Wild-Ox , his Neighbour , or the great Czar of Muscovie , and the Polish King , descend and come down into Silesia with all their Forces : upon which the Romanists shall run away with great multitudes , and then the preachers of the Gospel shall be restored to their former state . 3. And then the Papists will not know where to run or hide themselves , so that they shall cover themselves with Skins ; yea , the Prelate of Hagen , will be known by a Swedish Soldier ; for , finding a soft skin upon his hands , he understands that it is no Country-man , but a Person of Quality , therefore he will deal very hard by him . 4. The Swedes and Muscovites shall receive great help , for the whole German Empire will Joyn themselves together , and shall pass thorrow Bohemia , Moravia , and the Empire , marching to the Emperour , to see what and how he hath dealt with the Protestants . 5. Then they will march towards Rome , for to besiege the Pope ; before which place they shall rest three weeks : But there will be great Thundrings ; The fire shall descend from Heaven upon the four corners of Rome , setting all in fire and flame ; and thus Rome , with all its Cloisters , will be set in fire , and at last the Romish Monarchy will be in a confusion , and the Gospel shall be preach'd almost throughout all the World. 6. This shall come to pass in the Year our Lord 1700 , or within the time of a Year and a half . He exhorts all People to be constant and stedfest in their Belief , and says , that this will come to pass within seven months and a half , and that they shall see it ; and that the Papists , for fear of the Swedish Army , wil run away out of Silesia ; and that God shall raise up the Believers of the Gospel , within a short time again , yea more as they ever were before . Note . This man undertakes all the Punishments imaginable , in case it does not come as he hath said . He also has foretold the coming of the Turk before Vienna , at which he was put into Prison , but when the Turkish Army came before the City , saith he , take notice , for upon this very day , about two of the Clock , in the afternoon , he shall lay his siege . Three days after this his saying , came the Post where he was imprisoned , and told , that the siege exactly was laid at the same hour he had foretold , and then the Papists , out of shame , set him at Liberty : Of this the Gazette made mention at that very time . He also has foretold , the great persecution which should come to pass in France , and also the War which followed on the back . EDINBURGH , Re-Printed in the Year , 1700.
