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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

❧ An Epitaph vpon the death of Richard Price Eſquier (the ſecond ſonne of Sir Iohn Price Knight, deceaſed) which Richard left this life the fifth day of Ianuarie, 1586. MY ſorrow doth ſuppreſſe my memorie, My griefe eke grieues my hart, and all my powres, My teares do pierce my paper thorowlie, My Muſe me failes, my wo my wit deuoures, So as amaſd I ſit deuoid of might, In verſe, or proſe, my meaning to indight. Of princely iewels, precious are the price, Of gold the gaine who wiſheth not to haue, Of houſe and land, and all by land that riſe, Of all for life, who ſeeketh not to ſaue: But when I weigh the depth of mine intent, A Price to prayſe, I cannot but lament. A Price for gentle bloud, of price he was, A Price well taught in youth to liue in age, A Price ſo fraught with vertues that ſurpaſſe, A Price though yong in yeeres, in wiſedom ſage: A precious Price, as Wales did euer yeeld, A Price of peace in towne, yet fierce in field. His vertues rare, his wiſedom ſo profound. His learned ſkill, his curteſie ſo ſeene, His bountie great in houſe did ſo abound, His trauell ſuch for Countrey, and for Queene, Made him beloued, and for his friendſhip faſt, So famouſly, as euermore ſhall laſt. He liued no doubt with well contented mind, He liued vpright, iuſt both in word and deed, He liued a ſubiect true, as man may find, He liued to God a child of Abrahams ſeed: He liued to die, content to leaue each frend, He died to liue in ioy, that ſhall not end. His wofull wife may chiefly waile his want, His ſeruants next haue greateſt cauſe to grieue, His countrey then (ſith ſuch as he be ſcant) His friends each one may ſorow whileſt they liue: Among the which a greater loſſe had none, Then I my ſelfe, that cauſleſſe do not mone. Oh God graunt vs thy grace, and daily aide, Oh God put feare and loue into our hart, Oh God to ſinne make vs full ſore afraid, Oh God thy loue from vs do not diuart: Thou that from vs our peereleſſe Price haſt reft, Be our defence, that heere behind are left. R. D.
