         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).

             so

             my
             Records
             and
             Witnesses
             altogether
             ,
             I
             cannot
             make
             my
             Defence
             .
             Some
             were
             there
             then
             ,
             some
             afar
             off
             ,
             so
             that
             it
             was
             a
             miracle
             that
             in
             six
             or
             seven
             Counties
             they
             could
             do
             so
             much
             as
             they
             did
             :
             But
             they
             got
             in
             seven
             or
             eight
             of
             them
             ,
             yet
             there
             were
             five
             or
             six
             wanting
             :
             Therefore
             I
             beseech
             your
             Lordship
             that
             I
             may
             have
             time
             to
             bring
             my
             Records
             and
             Witnesses
             ,
             and
             then
             I
             
             will
             defie

             was
             for
             Spiritual
             Affairs

             I
             desire
             nothing
             ,
             that
             is
             a
             truth

             every
             Nation
             hath
             an
             Agent

             and
             that
             Agent
             must
             be
             maintained
             ;
             and
             the
             reason
             is
             this
             ,
             because
             we
             have
             many
             Colledges
             beyond

             there
             is
             no
             Country
             of
             Roman
             Catholicks

             hath

             About
             this
             Letter
             you
             were
             speaking
             of
             ,
             pray
             ,
             will
             you
             tell
             what
             fell
             out
             about
             it
             .
          
        
         
           
             Moyer
             .
          
           
             I
             will
             tell
             you
             how
             it
             fell
             out
             afterwards
             .
             Then
             I
             came
             along
             into
             Marseilles
             in
             France
             ,
             and
             there
             were
             2
             Captains
             that
             had
             as
             much
             notice
             as
             I
             had
             in
             that
             Letter
             ,
             for
             they
             were
             discoursing
             that
             they
             would
             advance
             themselves
             in
             the
             French
             Kings
             Service
             ,
             and
             hoped
             ,
             that
             by
             the
             King
             of
             
             France's
             help
             to
             have
             the
             Roman
             Catholick
             Faith
             set
             up
             in
             their
             own
             Country
             ;
             why
             ,
             that
             discourse
             passed
             off
             ,
             for
             I
             was
             mightily
             afraid
             of
             any
             such
             thing
             ,
             because
             I
             was
             of
             another
             opinion
             ;
             for
             perhaps
             I
             might
             think
             the
             Roman
             Catholick
             Faith
             would
             flourish
             as
             well
             as
             ever
             it
             did
             ,
             and
             hoped
             so
             as
             well
             as
             any
             body
             else
             ,
             but
             not
             by
             the
             Sword.
             As
             I
             came
             to
             Madrid
             ,
             there
             came
             one
             
               Hugh
               O
               Donnell
            
             ,
             Son
             to
             
               O
               Donnell
            
             ,
             with
             Letters
             of
             Recommendation
             ,
             and
             those
             Letters
             were
             to
             intitle
             the
             young
             man
             Earl
             of
             Tyrone
             ,
             and
             likewise
             that
             his
             Majesty
             the
             King
             of
             Spain
             should
             help
             him
             for
             Ireland
             ,
             according
             to
             the
             form
             of
             the
             Letters
             he
             had
             .
             And
             then
             as
             I
             came
             for
             Ireland
             ,
             speedily

             My
             Lord
             ,
             I
             shall
             trouble
             you
             but
             with
             one
             word
             that
             hath
             been
             omitted
             .
             I
             think
             't
             is
             a
             Cause
             of
             great
             Example
             ,
             and
             that
             thing
             which
             the
             Prisoner
             seems
             to
             make
             his
             Excuse
             hath
             been
             answered
             by
             a
             Favor
             and
             Indulgence
             from
             the
             Court
             in
             a
             very
             extraordinary
             manner
             .
             For
             ,
             in
             as
             much
             as
             this
             Gentleman
             would
             make
             it
             a
             very
             hard
             case
             ,
             That
             he
             is
             brought
             out
             of
             his
             own
             Country
             ,
             and
             hath
             not
             his
             Witnesses
             ;
             it
             is
             very
             well
             known
             that
             by
             a
             particular
             Favor
             of
             the
             Court
             ,
             which
             is
             not
             usual
             in
             these
             Cases
             ,
             he
             had
             between
             five
             and
             six
             weeks
             time
             for
             preparation
             for
             his
             Tryal
             :
             so
             that
             truly
             as
             to
             what
             does
             appear
             ,
             I
             think
             all
             the
             Witnesses
             that
             have
             been
             examined
             ,
             are
             Witnesses
             to
             be
             credited
             ,
             except
             you
             Gentlemen
             ,
             of
             your selves
             can
             convict
             upon
             your
             own
             knowledge
             these
             Persons
             of
             any
             Misdemeanor
             ,
             which
             I
             think
             you
             cannot
             ,
             much
             less
             of
             Perjurie
             .
             But
             besides
             ,
             the
             Witnesses
             we
             have
             produced
             ,
             all
             which
             speak
             to
             the
             Plot
             in
             general
             ,
             and
             four
             of
             them
             fix
             it
             upon
             the
             Person
             at
             the
             Bar
             ;
             they
             speak
             particularly
             ,
             and
             every
             one
             agrees
             in
             Circumstances
             ,
             and
             that
             other
             that
             spoke
             mincingly
             ,
             I
             put
             it
             upon
             ;
             it
             is
             the
             greatest
             Evidence
             that
             can
             be
             .
             For
             that
             person
             that
             could
             come
             before
             a
             Grand
             Jury
             ,
             and
             there
             be
             the
             main
             Witness
             ,
             but
             when
             he
             comes
             here
             ,
             must
             be
             scru'd
             and
             pump'd
             to
             discover
             the
             seventy
             thousand
             men
             .
             And
             I
             suppose
             you
             did
             observe
             how
             difficult
             it
             was
             to
             know
             of
             him
             ,
             whether
             this
             Person
             was
             Primate
             of
             Ireland
             ,
             or
             whether
             it
             were

             the
             Pope

             a
             very
             probable
             thing
             ,
             that
             he
             should
             be
             such
             a
             one

             he
             gives
             the
             reason
             why
             he
             was

             into
             the

             the
             other
             ,
             because
             he

             of

             not
             give
             you
             an

             says
             one

             I
             was
             under
             your
             Jurisdiction
             in
             that
             place

             that
             is
             the
             very
             reason
             he
             gives
             wherefore
             he
             durst
             not
             ,
             and
             says
             another
             ,
             I
             was
             concerned
             and
             as
             earnest
             as
             the
             Prisoner
             or
             any
             body
             else
             ,
             but
             going
             into
             France
             ,
             I
             observed
             the
             slavery
             that
             all
             the
             Subjects
             were
             under
             ,
             under
             the
             Tyranny
             of
             that
             King
             ,
             and
             apprehending
             that
             the
             same
             King
             was
             to
             come
             into
             Ireland
             by
             the
             means
             of
             these
             Gentlemen
             ;
             I
             was
             concerned
             at
             it
             ,
             and
             had
             rather
             the
             Devil
             should
             reign
             over
             us
             than
             such
             an
             one
             ,
             and
             therefore
             I
             will
             discover
             it
             .
             And
             he
             said
             very
             well
             I
             think
             ,
             that
             he
             had
             rather
             have
             the
             Devil
             to
             reign
             ;
             for
             it
             seems
             to
             be
             him
             ,
             or
             one
             in
             his
             shape
             that
             reigns
             after
             that
             manner
             .
             And
             there
             are
             two
             persons
             that
             swear
             to
             the
             very
             year
             that
             they
             were
             obliged
             to
             raise
             the
             mony
             ,
             and
             swear
             positively
             ,
             they
             saw
             his
             Orders
             
               sub
               poena
               suspensionis
            
             ,
             I
             do
             not
             know
             whether
             they
             mean
             hang'd
             or
             suspended
             from
             their
             Office.
             But
             it
             seems
             it
             was
             so
             terrible
             that
             it
             made
             them
             pay
             twenty
             Shillings
             a
             piece
             for
             three
             years
             successively
             .
             And
             there
             is
             another
             Gentleman

             would
             easily
             see

             land

             come
             between

             make
             it
             very

             their
             own
             confession
             it
             was
             a
             poor
             Town

             not
             any
             Christian
             was
             permitted
             
             to
             come
             at
             me
             ,
             nor
             did
             I
             know
             any
             thing
             ,
             how
             things
             stood
             in
             the
             World.
             I
             was
             brought
             here
             the
             third
             of
             May
             ,
             to
             be
             arraigned
             ,
             and
             I
             did
             petition
             your
             Lordship
             to
             have
             some
             time
             for
             my
             Tryal
             ,
             and
             I
             would
             have
             had
             it
             put
             off
             till
             Michaelmass
             ,
             but
             your
             Lordships
             did
             not
             think
             sit
             to
             grant
             so
             long
             ,
             but
             only
             till
             the
             eighth
             of
             this
             month
             ,
             when
             my
             Witnesses
             who
             were
             ready
             at
             the
             Sea
             side
             ,
             would
             not
             come
             over
             without
             Passes
             ,
             and
             I
             could
             not
             get
             over
             the
             Records
             without
             an
             Order
             from
             hence
             ;
             which
             Records
             would
             have
             shewn
             that
             some
             of
             the
             Witnesses
             were
             indicted
             and
             found
             guilty
             of
             high
             Crimes
             ,
             some
             were
             imprisoned
             for
             Robberies
             ,
             and
             some
             of
             the
             Witnesses
             were
             infamous
             people
             ,
             so
             I
             petitioned
             the
             eighth
             of
             this
             month
             ,
             that
             I
             might
             have
             time
             but
             for
             twelve
             days
             more
             ,
             but
             your
             Lordship
             thought
             when
             the
             motion
             was
             made
             ,
             that
             it
             was
             only
             to
             put
             off
             the
             Trial
             ,
             and
             now
             my
             Witnesses
             are
             come
             to
             Coventry
             yesterday
             morning
             ,
             and
             they
             will
             be
             here
             in
             a
             few
             days
             ,
             and
             so
             for
             want
             of
             time
             to
             defend
             my self
             in
             ,
             I
             was
             exposed
             to
             my
             Adversaries
             ,
             who
             were
             some
             of
             my
             own
             Clergy
             ,
             whom
             for
             their
             debauched
             Lives
             ,
             I
             have
             corrected
             ,
             as
             it
             is
             well
             known
             there
             .
             I
             will
             not
             deny
             my self
             ,
             but
             that
             as
             long
             as
             there
             was
             any
             Toleration
             and
             Connivance
             ,
             I
             did
             execute
             the
             Function
             of
             a
             Bishop
             ,
             and
             that
             by
             the
             second
             of
             Elizabeth
             is
             only
             a

             and
             no
             Treason
             .
             So
             that
             ,
             my
             Lord
             ,
             I
             was
             exposed
             defenceless
             to
             my
             Enemies
             ,
             whereas
             now
             my
             Witnesses
             are
             come
             ,
             that
             could
             make
             all
             appear
             .
             I
             did
             beg
             for
             twelve
             days
             time
             ,
             whereby
             you
             might
             have
             seen
             as
             plain
             as
             the
             Sun
             ,
             what
             those
             Witnesses
             are
             that
             began
             the
             Story
             ,
             and
             say
             these
             things
             against
             me
             .
             And
             ,
             my
             Lord
             ,
             for
             those
             Depositions
             of

             Ireland
             ,
             they
             cannot
             be
             true
             ,
             for
             they
             are
             a
             poor
             Clergy

             the
             French
             at
             Carlingford

             if

             had
             been
             brought
             before
             a
             Jury
             in
             Ireland
             ,
             it

             If
             they
             had
             accused
             me
             of

             Function

             perhaps
             they
             had
             said
             something
             that

             much
             as
             doubt

             that
             you

             Guilty
