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.

THe many Favours that you have formerly vouchſafed, has oblged me ſo much, as that I think my ſelf bound to make you a return, eſpecially in ſo facile a way as you have injoyned me, as to give you an Account of what occurs here from time to time, and more eſpecially any thing from Dublin or Ireland.
On the 4th. inſtant from Dublin, came one Collonel Daynes's Servant, who made his Eſcape in an open Boat, who gives an Account that all the Iriſh that were Quarrered in Dublin, were removed to the Hill of Tarah; though they made all the Oppoſition they could againſt it, and alſo marched out of the City with very much Regret, but all to no purpoſe; for ſuch was the Aſcendency of the French Faction there, being ſo overaw'd by the Uſurping Authority of that Tyrant their Maſter; ſo that what they ſay is a Law: Whereupon 3000 French were Quartered in their room, and ſince has been ſo RapaIriſh Lieutenant by a French Officer; they being together in Company, they Quarrelled and fought, but the Iriſh Man worſting the French Man, he immediately left him, and going to his Lodging, he fetcht his Fuzee, and watching his opportunity, ſhot the Iriſh Officer dead through the Back, upon which he was taken and carryed away Priſoner to the Caſtle, and the Iriſh made all the intereſt they could for Juſtice; yet none could be had: The French eſpouſing his cauſe in great numbers, and ſo was Iriſh. He ſays likewiſe, that it is reported there, that the late King will have 30000 men in the Field this Summer, and it is feared will be as ſoon in the Field as we, if we be not before June; for their graſs was very forward, eſpecially all about Dublin. He alſo ſays, that the late King had an expreſs from Charlemont, giving an account that they were ſo cloſe blockt up, and the number of men that were beaten back by the Engliſh, were reduc't to ſo great extremity, as that they were forc't to eat Horſe-fleſh. Which News was Confirmed by ſome Letters from Belfaſt of the 4th. inſtant: Which ſay, that though they have had no late Action, yet the Army was divided into four Bodies, and are March't ſeveral ways towards the Enemy, the General leaving behind 1500. men cloſely to Beſiege Charlemont.
Some Letters now Arrived from Belfaſt, give an account that a Deſerter was come oCharlemont, and informed them that the Garriſon was in exHorſe-Fleſh, and muſt of force Surrender in few days.
Theſe Letters add, that a Lady with about 40. Women and Children, were come to our Army in the North, having no Cloaths, but a few Raggs to cover their Nakedneſs.
The Lady ſaith, that for ſome conſiderable time, ſhe Defended her own Houſe againſt the Enemy; but at laſt after a Deſperate and Bloody Encounter, ſhe was forc't to Surrender upon Articles, viz. That they ſhould not burn it, and let her carry away her Goods, but the Enemy no ſooner was in poſſeſſion, but they pull'd down the greateſt part of the Houſe, and plundered her of all ſhe had.
We have an Account here, that in the laſt great Defeat of the Highlanders, that Collonel Canon was taken, and that in the ſearch of the Dead, the Lord Loqueil was found kill'd.
We have an Account here, that a ſmall Veſſel was ſent from Dublin by the late King for the Highlands of Scotland; which put in to a blind narrow Creek between High-Lake, and Wier, to be ſupplyed with Powder and Ball, ſhe had 1000. Arms on Board, but was there with the men ſeized, and upon the Examination of the Maſter and Men, they gave Information that ſome men of Wier, and who they were that was to furniſh them with Powder and Ball for that Expedition, and ſo thereupon ſeized; of which I will if I can give you a farther account by my next, and with which I ſhall conclude, with my re
