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).

A Balad Intituled, the Dekaye of the Duke. You ſee by good Triall, what coms of the Duke, Turne yet to the Diall, of Gods holie Booke, O Ʋr people of England that hold with the Pope, May ſee the prefermentes that folowe the ſame, The higheſt and loweſt, hee bringes to the Rope, And ſtraungers and Tyrantes do laugh at the game. You ſee by good triall, what coms of the Duke Turne yet to the Diall of Gods holie Booke. ¶ Thus are we ſtill ſpoyled of honor and fame, By Prelats that practiſe to poyſon vs all, The Pope is the Peſtilence, and Roome hath the name, Wher with we come witleſſe to weſtminſter hall. You ſee by good triall, what coms of the Duke Turne yet to the Diall of Gods holye Booke. ¶ The Duke had great fauor with Juſtice attayned, But of an ill matter what could be decreed, For Lordes of great Honor where he was arayned, Had proofe to apparant, of manie fowle deed. You ſee by good triall. &c. ¶ Not trifles, but Treaſons, ſo manie deuiſed, As all the world wondred ſuch venom to heare, In letters, and anſwers, and writinges compriſed, No waye to be conſtred to ſet the Duke cleare. You ſe by good triall. &c. ¶ Put of your oppinnion, of all his proceadinge, Ipocriſie cloked, coms neuer to good, I thinke all the Lawiers were werie of readinge, And all the hole people in ſtormes as they ſtoode, You ſee by good triall. &c. ¶ To tell the hole treatiſe, the tale were to longe, Againſt the good Ladie, our Queene that now raignes How manie deuiſes to do her grace wronge, By Pope holie practiſe, were pact in his braines. You ſee by good triall. &c. ¶ And then to his countrey, what ſequell enſued, Alas to apparant, the perrill drewe nie, In blood to the elboes we had bin embrewed, Which God hath forbidden, that gouernes the ſkye. You ſee by good triall. &c. ¶ The Duke or his doinges what more ſhall I tell ye, But God of his goodnes yet giue him ſome grace, For in myne oppinnion you papiſtes I ſmell ye, You are yet to manie that hold with the caſe, You ſee by good triall. &c. ¶ Whoſe Rumors yet roaring can hardlie be ſtill, A Canckred condicion in kaytiffes vnkinde, The deuill now doubteth he is daſhed of his will, Yet Babylon babyes will bragge to be blind. You ſee by good triall. &c. ¶ When wantons thought worthie, once ſtand on the toppe Theire ſteppes are ſo fickle they cannot ſtand ſtill, One legge in good faſhion is better to hopp, Then two legges at Randon to Ronne where ye will. You ſee by good triall. &c. ¶ As pittie lamenteth the loſſe of his grace, That once beinge Noble myght Noblie haue done So triall tormentith that one in his place, To Rebells and Riotes ſo raſhlye woulde ronne. You ſee by good triall. &c. ¶ But ſuch as be ſeekers, to ſet all at ſquare, With ſtraungers, and neyghbours, of horrible name, Do ſhew by theyr Pitchers what Potters they are, What Jolie compagnions of Catholique fame. You ſee by good triall. &c. ¶ Welwillers are willinge to here and to ſee, The good and the Godly regarders of Rule, Ilwillers vnwillinge good quiet ſhould bee, As Scollers ware trewantes that loue not the ſcoole. You ſee by good triall ¶ But neate with our bliſſinge, the brackes of our ſeaſon, There haue bin great warninges as this maye be one, A Duke of highe honor, to fall to highe Treaſen, Both hee, and his honor, how ſoone they be gone. You ſee by good triall &c. ¶ Wherfore it behoueth, as God doth aduaunce vs, To honour, to fauor, to worſhipp, or welth, We are to conſider, it maye ſo bechaunce vs, To loſe all together, good hap, and good helthe. You ſee by good triall. ¶ Wherfore to our dueties, we are bound to applye, Our Queene and our countreye to honor and praiſe, Content to liue loe, but if ye ware hie, To liue within lawe, and lengthen our dayes. You ſee by good triall. &c. ¶ God proſper the Queene, her Nobles and frendes, Her ſubjectes aſſured, of euerie degree, And God of his goodnes ſhowen the endes, Of all her offenders, if anie more bee. ¶ Finis. qd. quod W. Elderton.
