         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).

             was
             just
             preparing
             a
             Speech
             for
             the

             but
             that
             proud
             Pile
             was
             founded
             by
             an
             Arch-bishop
             ,
             and
             so
             surrounded
             with
             Caesars

             that
             we

             and
             this
             gave
             occasion

             some
             prophane

             ridicule

             But
             I
             am
             told
             of
             a
             Declaration

             follow'd

             He

             his
             Laws

             and
             you
             and
             I
             have
             more
             reason
             to
             be
             afraid
             of
             that
             ,
             than
             of

             believe
             that
             Declaration
             was
             one
             of

             The

             This

             of
             Caesar

             which
             did
             suppose
             their
             subjection
             to
             him

             Authority
             over
             them

             And
             I
             observe
             that
             Charles
             the
             Second
             ,

             and
             his
             Image
             looks
             like
             the
             Ancient
             Figure
             of

             I

             You
             have

             I
             hope

             prevent
             all
             these
             Mischiefs

             But
             I
             am
             afraid

             your
             Elect

             be
             weary
             of

             And
             if

             Cavaliering
             Parliament

             are
             sure
             not

             Sir

             I
             know

             and
             that
             they
             have
             such
             a
             prurient
             Lust
             after
             Madam
             Respublica

             that
             they
             have
             a
             State
             Priapism
             ,
             and
             will
             stand
             as
             long
             as
             the
             Lower

             for

             will
             contribute
             as
             freely
             to
             raise
             a
             Parliament

             as
             ever
             I
             did

             this
             without
             the
             other
             .

             Truly
             Brother
             ,
             I
             begin
             to
             fear
             that
             the
             King
             will
             out-wit
             us
             both
             ,
             with
             all
             our
             Cabals
             and

             Now

             like
             these
             Primitive
             Fools
             ,
             you
             had
             left
             the
             Throne
