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).

FUNERAL TEARS Upon the Death OF Captain William Bedloe. SAd Fate! our valiant Captain Bedloe, In Earths cold Bed lyes with his head low: Who to his laſt made out the PLOT, And Swearing dy'd upon the Spot. Sure Death was Popiſhly affected, She had our Witneſs elſe protected: Or downright Papiſt, or the Jade A Papiſt is in Maſcarade. The Valiant Bedloe, Learned Oates, From Popiſh Knives ſav'd all our Throats: By ſuch a Sword, and ſuch a Gown Soon would the Beaſt have tumbled down. They Conquer like the Hebrew King, And Oaths at Rome's Goliah ſling: And never take God's Name in vain; As many Oaths, ſo many ſlain. The ſtouteſt of the Roman Band Could not their thundering Volleys ſtand; But all thoſe Miſſioners of Hell By dint of Affidavit fell. Great things our Heroe brought to light; Yet greater ſtill kept out of ſight: And for his King, and Countries ſake Still new Diſcoveries could make: In proper ſeaſon to relieve, He ſtill kept ſomething in his ſleeve; He was become for England's good, An endleſs Mine, a waſtleſs flood; Still prodigal, yet never poor, No ſpending could exhauſt his Store. But Death, alas! that Popiſh Fiend, To all our hopes has put an end; Has ſtop'd the Courſe, and dry'd the Spring Which new Plot-tidings ſtill would bring. This Witneſs (did the Fates ſo pleaſe) Had ſworn us into Happineſs; Made the Court chaſt, Religion pure; And wrought an Univerſal Cure; Sworn Weſtminſter into good Order, Reform'd Chief-Juſtice, and Recorder: The Land from Romiſh Locuſts purg'd, And from Whitehal the Chits had ſcourg'd; Had judg'd the great Succeſſion-Caſe, And ſworn the Crown to the right place. England! The mighty loſs bemoan! Thy watchful Sentinel is gone. Now may the Pilgrims land from Spain, And undiſcover'd croſs the Main. Now may the Forty Thouſand Men In Popiſh Arms be rais'd agen; Black Bills may fly about our ears; Who ſhall ſecure us from our Fears? Jeſuits may fall to their old ſport Of Burning, Slaying Town and Court, And we never the wiſer for't. Then pitty us; Exert thy Power To ſave us in this dangerous Hour. Thou haſt to Death Sworn many men, Ah! Swear thy ſelf to Life agen. FINIS.
