             A reply to the Addresses importing an abhorrence of an association.
             "A reply to the Second return" suggests that the Marquis of Halifax is the author of the present piece; Sir Walter Scott in the 2nd ed. of the Somers tracts concurs, but Foxcroft in his ed. of Halifax's collected works denies the possibility.

         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).

             a
             base
             and
             destructive
             Design
          
           :
           a
           strong
           Affirmation

           which
           you
           would
           have
           received

           although
           you
           have
           forgotten
           to

           And
           so
           in
           truth
           you
           have
           the
           Sense
           which
           should
           direct
           us
           to
           what
           you
           mean

           in
           saying
           ,
           
             It
             would
             have
             been
             some
             Argument
             of
             the
             Addressors
             Candour
             ,
             and
             sincerity
             of
             their
             Intentions
             ,
             in
             what
             they
             did
             before
             ,
             if
             they
             had
             forborn
             their
             late
             Applications
             ,
             till
             they
             had
             found
             that
             they
             were
             not
             mistaken
             in
             the
             grounds
             upon
             which
             they
             think
             to
             vindicate
             themselves
             for
             what
             they
             then
             did
             .
          
           Something
           your
           Lordship
           did
           here
           conceive

           As
           to
           what
           you
           said
           a
           little
           before
           ,
           you
           are
           as
           unfortunate
           in
           your
           expressions
           and
           reasoning

           For
           these
           Addressors
           are
           not
