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.

¶By the Queene,

THe Queenes Maiestie vnderstandyng that certayne malicious persons haue of late tyme caused a report to be made in forren partes, that a great part of such Armour and prouisions of warre as by her Maiestie hath of late yeres ben made in Germany for her owne vse, should be transported into the countries of Russia, wherby the countreys of Christendom adioynyng thereto, beyng at warre with the Duke of the sayde countreys of Russia shoulde take great hurte and damage. And consideryng that although this rumour be knowen to be false, vayne, and malicious, yet if it shoulde be permitted without contradiction to be caried frō place to place, hurte & offence myght come to her Maiesties name and credit amonges Christian Princes: Hath therfore both notified the falsenesse therof to diuers Princes and common weales in Germany, where the report hath ben made, with request to them to procure knowledge of the first Authors therof, and offer of rewarde for the same, and by this her present Proclamation doth let it to be knowen to all maner of persons, that there was neuer prouided, neither ment to be had out of Germany or els where any one peece of Armour or thyng belongyng to warre by her Maiestie, but onely for the vse and seruice of her owne countries. And as her Maiestie neuer ment otherwyse, so thinking surely that none of her subiectes haue done to the contrary at any tyme: Her strayght commaundement is, that none shall buye or prouide of Armour or such lyke, to be eyther directly or indirectly sent eyther into Russia or to any place that is in warre with any nation of Christendome, vpon payne of forfaiture of as much as by the parties may be forfaited. And for redresse of this false reporte and slaunder, her Maiestie is so desirous to haue the Authors thereof knowen, as whosoeuer shall presently detecte the same, shall haue no small rewarde of her Maiestie.

Gyuen at our Manor of Grenewich the .viii. of Iuly, the thyrde yere of our raigne. 1561. God saue the Queene.
