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).

OH horrid Monsters ! what strange Newes is here , When Factious Locusts thus in Swarms appear . At Guild-Hall-Gate , where they do freely Vote For such vild Scabs , who soon would cut the Throat Of Justice , and would have all idle sport In Churches us'd ; Nay , they a Tennis-Court Would make it , if they could ( by Lot or Fate ) Obtain the Pow'r to Rule in Church or State. The City Vermine in Guild-Hall did cry ( Both Independent and Presbytery . ) For Love , whose zeal so hot was set on work , That he declar'd hee 'd rather see a Turk Then a Sursingle , Rub on , ther 's none can Bowl better then this Independent man. Then Anabaptists they aloud did cry With Jack Presbyter ' gainst Episcopy . Saying , Fowk was a Member fit they knew , Who had the Brains to cheat a subtle Jew . So well his Cash , with cursed Self he loves , As did appear by those left-handed gloves . He sold the Jew alone , but after they Were gone , he made his Chapman soundly pay For Fellows to them , thus his pregnant wit Makes him a man for Parliament so fit . Next Eccho'd forth a dismal thundring Voice , Crying for Thompson ; Oh such hellish Choice Will us undo ; London , thy case all pitty , And pray these Vermine may not spoil thy City . Such Shrubs and Stumps will spoil a Royal Oak , Who have their Rise from stinking Indian smoak . As this rare Pedlar , whose ever smoaking Brains Doth smoak and smell as hot and strong as Grains , The House wherein he sits , O England , pity , For why , his breath will poison a Committee . The next was Jones , another Smoaker , chose , That all good subjects by the Choice suppose They did appoint that day for to undo Themselves , their King , I and their Countrey too . But stay , methinks I hear blinde Justice say The Vote is carri'd a contrarie way ; For Independent Voices did appear : The Anabaptist and the Presbyter , Many of whom we may Malignants make Because they never yielded yet to take The Oath of true Allegiance to their King ▪ Which well their persons might in question bring With their estates ; How can the Vote Of such stand firme , who have no note Of Loyalty ; I do presume they are Chose by Malignants ; Ergo , 't is not faire . Thus have you Four sad Stewards chose , God send Them ne're to sit , or soon to have an end . London , lament your Case , you plainlie see Your worthy Burgesses , and what they be , Base factious Persons , of a rigid spirit , Chose by sad persons without Grace or merit . Yet if they stand without a just Return , God send the Commons House may soon Adjourne . And all that can displease so milde a KING As CHARLES the Second , God in due time bring Them to an end , and grant they may as well HOYLE themselves as did Achitophel .
