         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).

           but
           the

           frequent
           Alarums

           but
           nothing
           of

           Order
           of
           Court

           At
           the
           Camp
           several
           Souldiers
           were
           by
           a
           Priest
           inveagled
           to
           desert
           our

           go
           over
           to
           the
           French

           some

           but
           the
           Priest
           made
           his
           Escape
           .
           Here
           the
           Inhabitants
           of
           the
           Country
           removed
           what
           they
           had
           into
           their
           Churches
           ,
           or
           rather
           Temples
           of
           their
           Gods
           ,
           which
           alone
           are

           of
           the
           Souldiers
           ,
           having
           this
           Motto
           on
           them
           (
           
             Altare

           They

           Markets
           at

           Churches
           on
           the
           Sabbath
           ,
           where
           we
           might
           have
           Champaign
           and
           Rhenish
           Wine
           plenty
           .
           Hence
           I
           attended
           on
           the
           Duke
           to

           Charleroy
           ,
           
           Here
           I
           had
           the
           Opportunity
           of
           observing
           the
           Strength
           of
           a
           most
           regular
           Fortification
           ,
           which
           is
           accounted
           the
           Key
           of
           Flanders
           ;
           it
           was
           two
           Leagues
           distant
           from
           the
           Camp
           ;
           in
           the
           Town
           was
           a
           strong
           Guard
           ,
           and
           on
           the
           Road
           to
           the
           Camp
           were
           placed
           several
           Guards
           .
           This
           Place
           is
           memorable
           for
           nothing
           but
           that
           it
           is
           a
           good
           Garrison
           ,
           which
           was
           the
           Design
           the
           French
           King
           had
           in
           building
           it
           :
           There
           is
           plenty
           of
           Meadowing
           about
           the
           Town
           ,
           which
           makes
           it
           a
           good
           Quarter
           for
           Horse
           ,
           and
           the
           neather
           part
           of
           the
           Houses
           of
           the
           Town
           are
           all
           Stables
           ,
           which
           occasions
           the
           uncleanliness
           of
           the
           Streets
           .
           The
           Governour
           entertained
           the
           Duke
           (
           after
           the
           Spanish
           manner
           )
           with
           all
           sorts
           of
           the
           best
           Wine
           ,
           and
           rode
           with
           us
           round
           the
           Walls
           ,
           which
           are
           raised
           so
           high
           ,
           that
           none
           of
           the
           Houses
           appear
           to
           any
           Body
           without
           the
           City
           ;
           at
           this
           Town
           I
           observed
           a
           great
           Market
           of
           French
           Horses
           ,
           which
           had
           been
           lately
           taken
           from
           their
           Army
           ,
           and
           here
           exposed
           to
           Sail
           by
           Beat
           of
           Drum.
           At
           the
           Dukes
           Departure
           he
           was
           complemented
           with
           the
           Discharge
           of
           the
           great
           Guns

           the
           
           Walls
           .
           
           Thus
           we
           returned
           to
           the
           Camp
           ,
           where
           I
           was
           commanded
           on
           a
           Party
           to
           Brussels

           Accoutrements
           to

           made
           our
           Passage
           dangerous
           ,
           and
           gave
           us
           reason
           to
           expect
           an

           lay
           in

           resolved
           ,
           since
           we
           cannot
           Attaque
           the
           French
           
           Army
           by
           reason
           of
           the
           strong
           Situation
           of
           the
           Place
           where
           they
           are
           Encamped
           ,
           
           that
           we
           will
           eat
           up
           the
           Forrage
           round
           about
           them
           ,
           and
           so
           starve
           them
           out
           of
           their
           Entrenchments
           .
           Thus
           we
           spent
           our
           time
           till
           the
           Fourteenth
           ,
           when
           we
           marched
           forward
           to
           Bressea
           .

           Here
           we
           saw
           their
           Army
           draw
           forth
           ,
           but
           they
           did
           not
           offer
           to
           Attaque
           us
           ,
           though
           it
           was
           supposed
           the
           two
           Armys
           would
           have
           had
           some

           but
           that
           Night
           we
           decamp'd
           ;
           the
           French

           not
           expect
           we
           would
           march
           so
           soon

           having
           newly

           Pace

           our
           Vant-guard

           12
           of
           their
           Dragoons
           ,

           we

           they
           would
           have
           made
           use
           of
           it
           to
           our
           great
           damage
           .
           All
           this
           while
           the
           Brandenburghers
           in
           Wall-Court
           ,
           were
           not
           idle
           ,
           but
           received
           the
           Attaque
           made
           on
           them
           ,
           with
           a
           great
           deal
           of
           courage
           ,
           committing
           a
           great
           slaughter
           on
           the
           Enemy
           ;
           who
           demonstrated
           a
           great
           deal
           of
           desperate
           valour
           to
           little
           purpose
           .
           This
           Rancounter
           lasted
           ten
           Hours
           ,
           the
           Cannons

           both
           sides

           theirs

           on
           mischief
           ,
           but
           ours
           cut
           off
           several
           of
           their
           Horse

           and
           made
           Lanes
           through
           their
           Foot
           as
           they
           Retreated
           ;
           which
           they
           did
           not
           do
           ,
           till
           they
           saw
           the
           Scotch
           Regiment
           ,
           and
           the
           English
           Guards
           advance
           ;
           whereupon
           they
           sounded
           a
           Retreat
           ,
           and
           sent
           to
           our
           General
           for
           leave
           to
           bury
           their
           Dead
           ;
           to
           which
           the
           General
           gave
           his
           consent
           ,
           after
           having
           taken
           from
           them
           12
           of
           their
           Cannon
           ,
           not
           esteeming
           it
           adviseable
           to
           follow
           Victory
           too
           far

           In
           burying
           their
           dead
           they
           had
           the
           Boars
           to
           assist
           them
           ,
           for
           which
           reason
           ,
           before
           we
           decamped
           ,
           the
           General
           ordered
           their
           Villages
           to
           be
           burnt
           ,
           and
           gave
           the
           Soldiers
           leave
           to
           Plunder
           their
           Churches
           ,
           wherein
           they
           found
           great
           Booty

           The

           several
           Deserters
           came
           in

           whilst

           Here
           we
           stay'd

           when
           we
           Marched
           about

           our
           General
           thought
           fit

           change
           his
           Measures

           so
           marched

           Near

           received
           an

           There

           After
           all
           this
           view
           of
           their
           Churches
           ,
           which
           strive
           every
           way
           to
           exceed
           one
           the
           other
           in
           Beauty
           and
           Riches
           ,
           wherein
           they
           come
           pretty
           near
           one
           the
           other
           ,
           except
           that
           of
           Antwerp
           ,
           which
           exceeds
           the
           rest
           ;
           I
           can
           only
           lament
           that
           such
           Noble
           Structures
           should
           be
           dedicated
           to
           Idolatrous
           uses
           .
           On
           the
           5th
           .
           we
           turned
           back
           to
           Combrogue
           ,
           where
           we
           remained
           as
           long
           as
           we
           could
           get
           any
           Forrage
           ,
           which
           was
           all
           devoured
           for
           Twenty
           Miles
           round
           ,
           betwixt
           the
           French
           Army
           and
           ours
           ,
           I
           believe
           I
           may
           say
           Forty
           Miles
           ,
           without
           any
           great
           mistake
           ;
           at
           last
           there
           grew
           a
           real
           scarcity
           of
           Horse
           meat
           .
           On
           the
           6th
           .
           Ten
           of
           the
           Grenadeers
           belonging
           to
           our
           Guard
           ,
           unadvisedly
           went
           a
           Forraging
           without
           a
           Convoy
           ;
           Three
           of
           them
           were
           killed
           by
           the
           French
           ,
           Five
           taken
           Prisoners
           ,
           and
           Two
           escaped
           without
           Horses
           or
           Coats
           ,
           which
           they
           had
           pulled
           off
           to
           work
           and
           make
           up
           their
           Trusses
           .
           The
           Peasant
           that
           belonged
           to
           the
           House
           where
           they
           Forraged
           ,
           brought
           the
           French
           upon
           them
           ;
           but
           this
           action
           was
           sufficiently
           revenged
           on
           the
           French
           ,
           by
           the
           Lunenburghers
           ,
           who
           being
           a
           Forraging
           with
           their
           Carbines
           only
           ,
           were
           set
           upon
           by
           some
           French
           Soldiers
           disguised
           in
           Boors
           Frocks
           ,
           but
           they
           received
           them
           so
           warmly
           ,
           that
           they
           killed
           Eight
           and
           twenty
           of
           them
           ,
           and
           took
           about
           Seventy
           Prisoners
           ,
           with
           very
           little
           loss
           .
           The
           day
           before
           we
           went
           to
           Monts
           ,
           we
           marched
           a
           Detachment
           of
           Eight
           thousand
           Men
           towards
           the
           French
           Camp
           ,
           together
           with
           Ten
           pieces
           of
           Cannon
           ;
           when
           we
           came
           near
           their
           Out-guards
           ,
           we
           sent
           a
           Lieutenant
           of
           Horse
           with
           Thirty
           men
           to
           Fire
           on
           them
           ,
           which
           he
           did
           ,
           but
           they
           stirred
           not
           ,
           neither
           returned
           their
           Fire
           :
           It
           was
           near
           a
           Wood
           ,
           where
           it
           is
           supposed
           they
           had
           an
           Ambuscado
           ,
           and
           thought
           to
           trapan
           us
           ;
           however
           this
           Alarum
           was
           so
           great
           a
           surprize
           unto
           them
           ,
           that
           several
           of
           their
           Sutlers
           run
           away
           from
           them
           ,
           and
           several
           of
           their
           Officers
           sent
           away
           their
           Baggage
           :
           We
           waited
           about
           Ten
           hours
           there
           to
           invite
           them
           to
           Engage
           fairly
           ,
           but
           they
           declined
           it
           ;
           the
           next
           day
           they
           Decamped
           and
           marched
           towards
           Tourney
           in
           order
           to
           send
           their
           Troops
           to
           Winter
           Quarters
           ,
           and
           in
