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).

An Account of his building the Grecian Church in So-hoe Feilds , and the disposal thereof by the Masters of the Parish of St. Martins in the Feilds . IN the Year 1676 I came into England with intentions to publish a Book in print called Anthologion , for the use of the Eastern Greek Church , but finding they had no place allotted for the Exercise of our Religion , but that some Persons of our Country , Daniel Bulgaris a Priest , and others , who had earnestly indeavoured to get one builded , and in order thereunto had obtained his Majesties gracious Grant for the same , two years before my arrival ; but wanting means , methods , and interest to proceed to the accomplishing this their purpose , they desired me to take the business upon me ; in which , though some difficulties appeared unsutable to my Function ; yet in Piety to the Church , and to promote the exercise of the Divine Service thereof , I undertook the charge , and proceeded therein , as followeth Viz. I first applyed my self to the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of London , to acquaint him therewith , and his Lordship did so far approve thereof , that he promised to speak to the other Bishops , and other Gentlemen to bestow their benevolent Contributions towards the building the said Church : Next I applyed my self to Doctor Barbone , who was then concerned in building in So-hoe Feilds . He as soon as he was acquainted with my design , promised to give me a peice of ground , and to build the Foundation at his own charge ; thereupon I went again to his said Lordship , and telling him thereof , he promised to give me a peice of ground himself , and sent one Mr. Thrift with me , and marked out the ground . Hereupon I went to his Majesty , the Duke of York , and most of the Nobility and Clergy , who were pleased to contribute freely to the Building , there being gathered both in City and Country fifteen hundred pounds . I began the foundation at my own charge , and as I received the Contributions I went on ; and expended therein , as may appear by the Workmens Receipts , eight hundred pounds ; and the remainder of the mony was expended in Charges , Servants wages , and Horse hire in going about the Country , and in my maintenance for these six years last past . After some time the Church being found inconveniently situated , being too remote from the abodes of most of the Grecians , ( dwelling cheifly in the furthermost parts of the City , ) it was upon mature consideration thought fit to be sold , another to be builded in a more convenient place ; whereupon I applyed my self again to his Lordship the Bishop of London , who was pleased to tell me , that when the said Church was sold , his Lordship would give his Grant and Title for the building of another . Hereupon I indeavoured to sell it , and finding two persons that would buy the same , the Lord Bishop of London would not consent thereto , lest the Party should make a Meeting House thereof . Hereupon I went to the Doctor of St. Martins , who proposing it to the Parish , they consented before the said Lord Bishop , to let it be apprais'd by two able Workmen : The Church was accordingly veiwed , and rated to be worth 626 l. The Parish proffered 168 l. alledging that the ground was theirs , and not the Bishops : This agreement falling off , I found out others , who proffered 62 l. more than the Parish had done , which they of the Parish coming to understand , they proffered 200 l. which I refusing to take , the Lord Bishop required me to give them the Key , which I denying to do , they told me they would take the Church without it , as they did accordingly , breaking open the dore , and taking possession : Hereupon I indeavoured to carry the person who broke open the door before a Justice , that I might justifie my self , but the Parish no● permitting him to go , I went my self , but not finding the Justice I desisted from any further proceeding . This Relation I have thought fit to make , that thereby all Persons may see , I never sold the said Church 〈…〉 London , Printed for A. F. 1682.
