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).

In a Letter from a Merchant in Edenburgh , to his Friend in London . NO sooner had the News of the Kings Private Departure Arriv'd at the City of Edenburgh , but all Parties look'd on the general Settlement of the Kingdom , to be so far shaken , that it was high time for each of them to make an early Provision for their future Security : But the Prince of Orange's speedy Advance to London , being once Publish'd , the Papists began to look on their Cause as wholly desperate , if not already undone ; nor were they in the least mistaken ; for as if the Signal had been generally , though privately , given the Rabble from all Parts immediately gather together ; and first , declaring for the Protestant Religion in general , next for the Prince of Orange , they lastly resolve unanimously to take this Opportunity of rooting both Popery and Papists out of the City and Kingdom , protesting with Oaths they would no longer suffer under the apprehension of that Slavery which they had long since , to their Sorrow , seen growing too fast upon them : Whereupon , after many Shouts , being Arm'd , some with Clubs , some with Swords , and others , to a great number , with Pistols , Carbines , and Muskets , they Marcht directly to Holy Rood-House , where , after some Violences offer'd to the Out-parts ; the Governor , who Commanded there at that time , one Captain Wallis , a Roman Catholick , came upon them with his Guards , without either demand of the meaning of their Assembly , or the least admonishment to desist , he Fires upon them , and Kills several of them ; the Multitude being much more Enraged than Allay'd , by this Proceeding , run with fierceness and resolution on the Guard , slaying and wounding every Man , not without the Loss of abundance of their Own , tho' the Council then sitting had sent to the Captain to forbear on any Account to come to extremities with the Rabble , well imagining , and fearing the consequences likely to ensue ; but he , as is suppos'd being too Zealous in his own Cause , and relying on his little Authority , presum'd rather to endanger the Safety , or Peace of the Kingdom , than submit to a present Necessity ; for which he dearly paid , being himself , as was suppos'd , Mortally Wounded , and his Company quite Overthrown : The Multitude , in the mean time , remaining Victorious , march'd with loud Huzza's to the Lord Chancellor's House , which they in a moment pull'd down to the Ground , not sparing both Reproaches and Wounds on his Person ; some reproaching him with his Designs to Betray his Country to Popery and Slavery , others casting in his Teeth private Injuries , and all reviling him as a base , malicious , and unjust Man : By this time the Council and Lord Preast , had order'd the Militia to endeavor the Suppressing these Irregularities , who , upon their first Approach us'd fair Words and Entreaties , but that not prevailing ( the Rabble being extreamly exasperated for the loss of their Fellows ) they were forc'd to be rough , tho' before they could be dispers'd , there were above Five Hundred of both sides Kill'd : The Duke of Gourdon , in this juncture , thought it the safest way to retire into the Castle , and has declar'd his resolution to defend and keep it against any Opposition whatsoever : What the result will be is uncertain , tho' the better part of the Nobility and Gentry , and all the Commonalty in general , have declar'd their resolution to stand by the Prince of Orange , in Defence of the Protestant Religion , as by Law Established : The said Prince's Declaration ( for restoring the Religion , Laws , and Liberties of Scotland to their Ancient Grandure ) having bin publickly read in Edinburgh , and several other parts of Scotland , with Acclamations of Joy. The general expectation , at this present Writing , is the Affair of the Duke of Gourdon , ( who , if he persists in keeping Possession of the Castle , ) you may expect a particular Account in my Next , of the Siege of that Important ( I had almost said Impregnable ) Fortress . SIR , Your ready Friend , and humble Servant .
