         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).

           chearfully

           ever

           of
           this

           gives
           God

           is
           indeed
           very

           Royal

           that

           have
           it
           publick
           ,
           I
           thought

           Sacrilege

           the
           Original

           The

           the
           Workmanship

           but
           it

           possibly
           be
           the
           more
           acceptable

           they
           did

           guess
           at

           receive
           proposals
           from
           him
           ;
           and
           it
           was
           at
           the
           same
           time
           agreed
           with
           Lieutenant
           General
           Hamilton
           ,
           that
           he
           should
           not
           march

           Majesties
           approach

           would
           undoubtedly

           formidable

           our

           thought
           it
           reasonable

           The

           hide
           themselves

           and
           a
           great
           many
           were
           kill'd

           King

           that
           the
           Enemy
           might
           think
           he
           had
           deserted
           us
           .
        
         
           This
           day
           my
           Lord
           Strabane
           came
           up
           to
           our
           Walls
           ,
           makeing
           us
           many
           Proposals
           ,
           and
           offering

           Pardon

           Protection
           and
           Favour
           ,
           if
           we
           would
           surrender
           Town
           ;
           but
           these
           fine
           words
           had
           no
           place
           with
           the
           Garrison
           .
           At
           that
           very
           time
           of
           his
           Capitulating
           with
           us
           ,
           we
           observ'd
           the
           Enemy
           using
           that
           opportunity
           to
           draw
           their

           a
           convenient
           stand
           ,
           we
           therefore
           desired
           his
           Lordship
           to
           withdraw
           ,
           otherwise
           we
           would
           make
           bold
           to
           fire
           at
           his
           Lordship
           ;
           his
           Lordship
           continued
           in
           his
           Complements
           ,
           till
           we
           plainly
           told
           him
           we
           would
           never
           deliver
           the
           Town
           to

           we

           so
           that
           Mr.

           found
           it
           necessary
           to
           mount
           one

           them

           Intelligence

           instructed

           Our
           Sallies
           many
           times
           began

           Capt.
           Noble

           and
           sometimes
           other
           Officers
           ,
           when
           they
           saw
           the
           Enemy
           make
           an
           approach
           ,
           wou'd
           run
           out
           with
           about
           Ten
           or
           Twelve
           men
           at
           their
           Heels

           and
           Skirmish'd
           a
           while
           with
           them
           :
           When
           the
           Besieged
           saw
           them
           Engaged
           ,
           and
           in
           any
           danger
           ,
           they
           issued
           out
           in
           greater
           numbers
           to
           their
           Relief
           ,
           and
           always
           came
           off
           with
           great
           Execution
           on
           the
           Enemy
           ,
           and
           with
           very
           little
           loss
           to
           themselves
           .
        
         
           In
           all
           these
           Sallies
           we
           lost
           none
           of
           any
           Note
           ,
           but
           Lieutenant
           Douglas
           and
           Captain
           Cuningham
           ,
           whom
           the
           Enemy
           took
           Prisoner
           ,
           and
           after
           Quarter
           given
           ,
           basely
           Murdred
           .
           They
           did
           not
           want
           being
           reproach'd
           with
           so
           signal
           an
           Instance
           of
           their
           Cruelty
           and
           breach
           of
           Faith
           ,
           neither
           did
           they
           want
           Impudence
           to
           deny
           it
           by
           the
           addition
           of
           many
           bloody
           Oaths
           and
           Protestations
           ;
           but
           it
           was
           too
           evident
           by
           the
           Testimony
           of
           their
           own
           Officers
           and
           Souldiers
           ,
           that
           were
           afterwards
           our
           Prisoners
           .
           But
           this
           sort
           of
           proceeding
           was
           very
           usual
           with
           them
           ,
           and
           agreeable
           to
           an
           account
           we
           had
           of
           their
           obligation
           by
           Oath
           and
           Resolutions
           ,
           not
           to
           keep
           Faith
           with
           us
           ,
           and
           to
           break
           whatever
           Articles
           were
           given
           us
           :
           Which
           a
           Prisoner

           (
           troubled
           in
           Conscience
           ,
           that
           he
           had
           engaged
           himself
           with
           so
           wicked
           and
           perfidious
           Men
           )
           discover'd
           to
           us
           .
        
         
           We
           were
           convinced
           of
           the
           Truth
           of
           it
           by
           some
           Examples
           they
           gave
           us
           after
           this
           :
           When
           they
           hung
           out
           a
           
             White
             Flag
          
           to
           invite
           us
           to
           a
           Treaty
           ,
           Mr.
           Walker
           ventur'd
           out
           to
           come
           within
           hearing
           of
           my
           Lord
           Lowth
           and

           ,
           and
           in
           his
           passage
           had
           an
           hundred
           Shot
           fired
           at
           him
           ;
           he
           got
           the
           shelter
           of
           a
           House
           ,
           and
           upbraiding
           them
           with
           this
           Treachery
           ,
           bid
           them
           order
           their
           Men
           to
           be
           quiet
           or
           he
           wou'd
           
           order
           all
           the
           Guns
           on
           the
           Walls
           to
           fire
           at
           them
           ;
           They
           deny'd
           they
           knew
           any
           thing
           of
           it
           :
           And
           this
           was
           all
           the
           satisfaction
           to
           be
           expected
           from
           persons
           of
           such
           a
           Principle
           .
           At
           another
           time
           the
           Enemy
           desired
           one
           White
           might
           have
           leave
           to
           come
           to
           them
           ;
           the
           Besieged
           sent
           him
           in
           a
           little
           Boat
           ,
           with
           two
           Men
           ,
           upon
           Parol
           ,
           which
           they
           broke
           very
           dishonourably
           ,
           keeping
           both
           the
           Men
           and
           Boat
           with
           them
           .
           The
           loss
           of
           the
           Boat
           was
           considerable
           to
           us
           ,
           for
           the
           Gentlemen
           that
           left
           us
           took
           all
           our
           Boats
           ,
           and
           left
           them
           to
           the
           Sea
           and
           Wind
           ,
           and
           this
           was
           the
           only
           Boat
           we
           had
           remaining
           .
        
         
           The

           their
           Tents

             Bely

           about
           two
           Miles
           distant
           from
           Derry
           S.S.W.
           They
           place
           Guards
           on
           all
           sides
           of
           the
           Town
           ,
           so
           that
           the
           Besieged
           found
           it
           impossible
           to
           receive
           or
           convey
           any
           Intelligence
           ,
           and
           great
           difficulty
           to

           the
           Wells
           for
           Water
           ,
           which
           they
           often
           Fought
           for
           ,
           and
           cost
           some
           of
           them
           their
           Blood.
           One
           Gentleman
           had
           a
           Bottle
           broke
           at
           his
           Mouth
           by
           a

           Water
           of
           the
           Town
           was
           so
           muddy
           and
           troubled

           it
           ,
           that
           we
           were
           forced

           on
           one
           account
           ,
           for
           being
           under
           great
           want
           of
           Fuel
           ,
           they
           supply'd
           us
           plentifully
           
           from
           the
           Houses
           they
           threw
           down
           ,
           and
           the
           Timber
           they
           broke
           for

           June
           7.
           
           Three
           Ships
           came
           up
           to
           
             Killmore
             F●rt
          
           ,
           and
           fired
           at
           the
           Castle
           ,
           and
           attempted
           coming
           up
           the
           River
           ;
           but
           one
           of
           them
           unfortunately
           run
           aground
           ,
           and
           lay
           some
           time
           at
           the
           Mercy
           of
           the
           Enemies
           Shot
           ,
           and
           so
           much
           on
           her
           side
           ,
           she
           could
           not
           make
           any
           return
           ;
           but
           at
           length
           with
           some
           pleasure
           we
           saw
           her
           get
           off
           ,
           and
           ,
           as
           we
           believed
           ,
           without
           much
           loss
           or
           damage
           .
        
         
           June
           15.
           
           We
           discovered
           a
           Fleet
           of
           30
           Sail
           of
           Ships
           in
           the
           Lough
           ,
           which
           we
           believed
           came
           from
           England
           for
           our
           relief
           ,
           but
           we
           could
           not
           propose
           any
           method
           to
           get
           intelligence
           from
           them
           ,
           and
           we
           did
           fear
           it
           was
           impossible
           they
           could
           get
           to
           us
           ;
           and
           the
           Enemy
           now
           begin
           to
           watch
           us
           more
           narrowly
           .
           They
           raise
           Batteries
           opposite
           to
           the
           Ships
           ,
           and
           line
           both
           sides
           of
           the
           River
           with
           great
           numbers
           of
           Fire
           locks
           .
           They
           draw
           down
           their
           Guns
           to
           Charles-Fort
           ,
           a
           place
           of
           some
           strength
           upon
           the
           Narrow
           part
           of
           the
           River
           ,
           where
           the
           Ships
           were
           to
           pass
           ;
           here
           they
           contrived
           to
           place
           a
           Boom
           of
           Timber
           ,
           joyned
           by
           Iron
           Chains
           ,
           and
           fortified
           by
           a
           Cable
           of
           12
           Inches
           thick
           twisted
           round
           it
           ;
           They
           made
           this
           Boom
           first
           of
           Oak
           ,
           but
           that
           could
           not
           float
           ,
           and
           was
           soon
           broke
           by
           the
           force
           of
           the
           water
           :
           Then
           they
           made
           one
           of
           Firr-beams
           which
           answered
           their
           purpose
           better
           ;
           it
           was
           fastned
           at
           one
           end
           through
           the
           Arch
           of
           a
           Bridg
           ,
           at
           the
           other
           by
           a
           piece
           of
           Timber
           forced
           into
           the
           ground
           and
           fortified
           with
           a
           piece
           of
           stone
           work
           .
           This
           account
           ,
           as
           we
           had
           it
           from
           the
           Prisoners
           ,
           did
           much
           trouble
           us
           ,
           and
           scarce
           left
           us
           any
           hopes
           ;
           We
           made
           several
           signs
           to
           the
           Ships
           from
           the
           Steeple
           ,
           and
           they
           to
           us
           from
           their
           Ships
           ,
           but
           with
           very
           little
           information
           to
           either
           .
           At
           last
           a
           Messenger
           got
           to

           one
           Roch

           from
           Major
           General
           Kirk

           who
           gor
           to
           the
           Water-side
           over-against
           us
           ,
           and
           then
           swam
           cross
           the
           River
           ;
           he
           gave
           us
           an
           account
           of
           the

           for

           the
           great

           of
           the
           Major
           General

           He
           sent
           another
           Messenger
           along

           but
           he
           was
           taken
           prisoner
           :
           There
           was
           soon
           an
           understanding

           he

           frame
           a

           much

           the
           other

           they

           relief
           from
           England

           there
           in
           confusion
           ,
           and
           that
           we

           We
           sent
           some
           to
           that
           purpose
           ,
           but
           they
           soon
           discovered
           the
           cheat
           ,
           and
           returned

           We

           intelligence
           in
           July

           we

           the
           poor
           Protestants
           have
           leave
           to
           repair
           to
           their
           several
           Habitations
           ;
           we
           
           took
           down
           the
           Gallows

           and
           order'd
           the
           Prisoners
           to
           their
           usual
           Apartments
           .
           Our
           Garrison
           now
           consisted
           of
           5709
           Men
           ,
           and
           to
           lessen
           our
           number
           yet
           more
           ,
           we
           crowded
           500
           of
           our
           useless
           People
           among
           the
           Protestants
           under
           the
           Walls
           ,
           who
           pass'd
           undiscover'd
           with
           them
           ,
           thô
           the
           Enemy
           suspected
           the
           design
           ;
           and
           to
           distinguish
           them
           ,
           they
           pretended
           of
           finding
           them
           out
           by
           the
           smell
           .
           We
           also
           got
           into
           our
           Garrison
           some
           Effectual
           Men
           out
           of
           their
           number
           :
           They
           were
           in
           a
           most
           miserable
           condition
           ,
           yet
           dreaded
           nothing
           more
           than
           our
           pity
           of
           them
           ,
           and
           willingness
           to
           receive
           them
           ;
           begging
           of
           us
           on
           their
           knees
           ,
           not
           to
           take
           them
           into
           the
           Town
           ,
           but
           chose
           rather
           to
           perish
           under
           our
           Walls
           ,
           than
           to
           hazard
           us
           within
           them
           .
        
         
           The
           Governour
           has
           several
           Intimations
           given
           him
           by
           a
           Friend
           in
           the
           Enemies
           Camp
           ,
           That
           he
           should
           look
           to
           himself
           ,
           that
           some
           mischief
           was
           intended
           him
           .
           Soon
           after
           this
           he
           understood
           some
           Jealousy
           was
           entertain'd
           among
           the
           Souldiers
           ,
           That
           he
           had
           great
           quantity
           of
           Provisions
           hid
           in
           his
           House
           .
           Some
           of
           the
           Garrison
           improv'd
           this
           to
           that
           degree
           ,
           that
           there
           was
           great
           danger
           of
           a
           Mutiny
           among
           the
           Men
           ,
           and
           that
           he
           then
           began
           to
           remember
           the
           Caution
           was
           given
           ;
           but
           by
           his
           Instructions
           to
           a
           Souldier
           ,
           that
           was
           to
           pretend
           ,
           he
           himself
           had
           the
           same
           Suspicion
           ;
           it
           was
           contriv'd
           that
           the
           House
           was
           privately
           search'd
           ,
           and
           their
           Curiosity
           being
           satisfied
           ,
           they
           return
           to
           the
           good
           Opinion
           of
           their
           Governour
           .
        
         
           He
           observ'd
           likewise
           ,
           that
           the
           Enemy
           had
           endeavour'd
           to
           insinuate
           to
           the
           Garrison
           ,
           That
           he
           was
           to
           betray
           the
           Town
           to
           King
           James
           ,
           and
           was
           to
           be
           highly
           prefer'd
           for
           the
           Service
           .
           This
           put
           them
           in
           mind
           of
           a

           The
           day
           before
           we
           had

           Council
           of
           War

           the

           which
           was

           That
           the
           ne●t
           day
           at
           Three
           in
           the
           Morning
           200
           Men
           should
           Sally
           out
           of
           Bishops-Gate
           ,
           200
           Men
           at
           Butchers-Gate
           ,
           and
           1100

           be
           ready
           within
           the
           Ravelin
           for
           a
           Reserve
           .
           Our
           design
           was
           to
           bring
           in
           some
           of
           the
           Enemies
           Cattle
           ;
           they
           surprized
           
           the
           Enemy
           in
           their
           Trenches
           .
           One
           Regiment
           draws
           up
           against
           them
           in
           good
           Order
           ,
           but
           had
           only
           three
           of
           their
           Matches
           lighted
           ;
           we
           came
           upon
           them
           over
           against
           Butchers-Gate
           and
           kill'd
           300
           of
           their
           Men
           ,
           besides
           Officers
           .
           The
           Execution
           had
           been
           much
           greater
           ,
           but
           many
           of
           our
           Men
           being
           much
           weakned
           with
           Hunger
           were
           not
           able
           to
           pursue
           them
           ,
           some
           falling
           with
           their
           own
           blows
           .
           We
           return'd
           without
           any
           purchase
           of
           Cattle
           ,
           but
           were
           advis'd
           to
           a
           more
           easie
           Experiment
           ;
           having
           one
           Cow
           left
           we
           ty'd
           her
           to
           a
           Stake
           ,
           and
           set
           Fire
           to
           her
           .
           We
           had
           hopes
           given
           us
           ,
           that
           by
           the
           Cry
           and
           Noise
           she
           wou'd
           make
           ,
           the
           Enemies
           Cattle
           would
           be
           disturbed
           and
           come
           to
           her
           relief
           ;
           and
           they
           began
           to
           move
           and
           set
           up
           their
           Tails
           ,
           so
           that

           Instant

           we
           looked
           on
           our selves
           as
           Sheep

           yet
           we
           contrived
           no
           other
           means
           of
           escape

           who

           when
           they
           were
           ready
           to
           enter

           younger

           happily
           to
           the
           Gates
           and
           shut
           them
           ,
           loudly
           denying
           entrance
           to
           such
           Guests

           refusing
           Obedience

           us
           .
           At
           first
           we
           were
           amazed
           at
           the
           Enterprise
           ,
           and
           apprehensive

           many
           ill
           Circumstances

           that
           might
           result
           from

           rash
           an

           but
           since
           that

           rationally
           induce
           us
           to
           believe
           it
           ;
           and

           now
           in
           our
           Custody
           ;
           We
           began
           to
           consider
           it
           as
           an
           especial
           Instance
           of
           God's
           Mercy

           that
           we
           were
           not
           delivered
           over
           as
           a
           Prey
           unto
           them
           ,
           and
           that
           it
           pleased
           him

           up
           the

           Wherefore
           we
           do

           have
           resolved
           to
           stand
           upon
           our
           Guards
           ,
           and
           defend
           our
           Walls
