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).

Henry Meese , Merchant in LONDON : Concerning the late Troubles in MARY-LAND . Colonel Meese , YOAKELY being now ready to Sail , I thought it fit to acknowledg the receipt of your Letters this year ; I have only that before me which you writ by Mr. Ambrose Sanderson , and shall for your sake , his Functions , and his own , serve him in any thing I may ; The rest of your Letters I have left at home , so must defer my answer till the next Ship. I find by the Masters of the Ships , that the Imprisonment of Capt. Josias Fendal , and Capt. John Coode , hath made so great a noise at London ; and therefore I thought it necessary to give you an account of it , as having been formerly an Inhabitant of Mary-land , and an Eye-witness of the carriage of Capt. Fendal , in the years 1659 , and 1660. when he Perfidiously broke his Oath and Trust , being Governour of this Province ; cancell'd his Commission from the then Lord Proprietor , and took a new one from the Assembly . For that offence he was only Fin'd , and declar'd uncapable of ever bearing any Office in this Province , as you may remember , and that hath gaul'd him ever since ; and to get into Office , he now sets all his Wits to work , inciting the People in Charles's County to Mutiny and Sedition ; and Tampering with some of the Justices of Peace in St. Maries County : First , telling the People they were Fools to pay any Taxes , ( though laid by Act of Assembly ; ) that there was Wars in England between the King and the Parliament ; and that now nothing was Treason , a man might say any thing : And then to the Justices , hinting how easie a matter it was to overturn the Government here , by seizing the Lord Proprietor , the Chancellor , Secretary , and Colonel Darnal , all the rest ( as he said ) signifying nothing . The Justice of Peace told him , he had no Commission , and that it would be down-right Rebellion ; He went from him , and revealed this discourse to another Justice , who discovered this whole matter to my Lord. Shortly after this , Capt. John Coode falls upon a time , at a Feast , into discourse with a Papist , who was Suing a Friend of his for a piece of Land ; and said , That he need not trouble himself for a piece of Land , for that no Papist in Mary-land should be Owner of any Land at all in this Province within three Months ; for that he had ten thousand Men at his Command ; and he could make it High-Water , or Low-Water , when he pleased . After this , Coode was observed to make Visits to Fendal , which he never used to do before , and they both went over into Virginia ; and within few days after their return from thence , a Bo●● designed for Carolina from Mary-land , was forced in by bad weather to a House in Virginia , where the Owner of the Boat heard that Fendal and Coode had been thereabouts ; and that the whole discourse there was , that Fendal intended to raise Mutiny in Mary-land , and that he and Coode would carry their Families into Virginia . This being Sworn to , and at that very instant Information being given , that one of Capt. Coode's Servants reported , that his Master intended to remove his Family on the Thursday following into Virginia ; made my Lord think it high time to look to the Security and Peace of the Province , and therefore sent Colonel Darnal with about ten Men , to bring Coode and Fendal before him and the Council ; Colonel Darnal came to Coodes when it was light , and the Servants using to go to work opened the door , at which Colonel Darnal entered alone , leaving his Men without , and coming into Mr. Coode's Chamber , told him he was his Prisoner ; Coode at first laid his hand upon his Sword , but at last yielded ; after which Col. Darnal went over the River , and took Capt. Fendal also , and brought them before my Lord and Council . And the next day after , Mrs. Coode did Hector my Lord at a rate I never heard from a VVoman before ; by which you may conclude she was not run mad with the fright of her Husbands being pull'd out of his Bed , as we are told her Son Slye falsly reports at London . Three or four days after I saw her at St. Maries , and then I did suspect she would not continue long in her Wits , knowing she had been Mad a while upon the death of her eldest Son , about the year 1659 and had heard she sometimes fell into the like Fits since . After this , my Lord took Bail for Coode within five days , but Fendal was kept till my Lord had secured Lieutenant George Godfrey , who laid a Plot to unhorse his Captain , and carry the Troop to the rescue of Fendal , instead of searching for the Indians , that had Murther'd some of our Planters , and were daily expected to fall into Charles County , in great numbers ; as they afterwards did in less than three VVeeks . My Lord intends to send over their Tryals , that the VVorld may see with how much Favour the Court proceeded , and to stop the Mouth of Calumny ; So that I shall not trouble you now any further , but ere I make an end , must present my own and my VVifes service to your Second-self , as you stile her ; and so subscribe my self , Sir , From Patuxent River-side , this 29th . December , 1681. Your humble Servant PHILIP CALVERT . LONDON : Printed for A. Banks , 1682.
