Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. 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).

Published by Authority . SIR , HIS Royal Highness my Master does by me Congratulate Your Sacred Majesties Glorious Accession to the Crown ; It was due to Your Birth ; deserved by Your Vertue , and is Gloriously maintain'd by Your Valour : Providence had design'd it for Your Sacred Head , for the Accomplishment of its Eternal Decrees , which after a long Patience , do always tend to raise up chosen Souls to repress Violence , and protect Justice . The Wonderful Beginnings of Your Reign , are most certain Presages of the Blessings which Heaven prepares for the Uprightness of Your Intentions ; which have no other Scope than to restore this flourishing Kingdom to its Greatness and break the Chains which Europe groans under , This Magnanimous Design , worthy of the Hero of our Age , fill'd his R. H. at first with inexpressible Joy ; but he was constrained to conceal it in the secret of his Heart : and if at last he has been free to owne it , he is oblig'd to the very Name of Your Majesty for it , since that alone has made him conceive some hopes of Liberty , after so many years of Servitude . My Words , nor the Treaty which I have Sign'd at the Hague with Your Majesties Minister , do Express but weakly the Passion which my Master has to unite himself by the most inviolable Ties to Your Service . The Honour , SIR , which he has to belong to You by his Birth , has tyed the first Knots of this Union ; the infinite Respect which he has for Your Sacred Person , has , as it were , knitted them faster , and the generous Protection which You are pleased to Grant him , will without doubt , make them Indissoluble . These are the sincere Sentiments of His Royal Highness , to which I dare not add , any thing of mine ; for how ardent so ever my Zeal may be , and how profound the Veneration which I bear to Your Glorious Atchievements ; I think , I cannot better Express , either than by a Silence full of Admiration . Edinburgh , Re-printed by the Heir of Andrew Anderson Printer to Their Majesties , 1690.
