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).

I Should have anſwered yours of the 27 of May before; but being ſtill in hope of ſome Action, I deferred to give anſwer, untill I might give you an accompt of ſomething worthie of you. The laſt Tueſday, being the 10, the Garriſon of Howhum, by the neglect of the Guard, was ſurpriſed by a Chiefe Partie of Newarke; Colonel Roſsiter being preſently advertiſed of it▪ drew forth all his Horſe with that ſpeed, that he releaſed all his Men which were taken, whom the Enemie had left bound at the foot of the Bridge readie to bee ſent to Newarke. Vpon this fortunate beginning, he ſent me an order forthwith to march with 200 Foot from Grantham to him, which was obſerved; and as ſoone as I arrived, I preſently ordered my men to Storm in three ſeveral places: Colonel Roſsiter having diſ-mounted fortie of his Troopers, commanded by Captaine Norwood (a very gallant Gentleman) to Storme with mee, which was performed with much Reſolution and Courage in the Souldiers, as I ever was witneſſe of, although wee encountred with no ſmall difficultie at the firſt, a large Wet More at leaſt fortie foot over, extreame muddie, and in no place leſſe deep then the waſte, (through which of neceſſitie I muſt lead my men; And beyond it a Rampier of ten foot high▪ Yet it pleaſed God, without whom wee could have done nothing, and to him bee the glorie, to give us entrance after a verie ſmart Diſpute of halfe an houre, onely with the loſſe of five ſlaine, and about twentie wounded, whereof two were Enſignes; my ſelfe, I praiſe God, received no other hurt then a bruiſed head, being twice beaten downe from the toppe of the Worke with a ſtone, and the butt end of a Musquet. Colonel Roſſiter loſt twelve Horſes and one Trooper by facing too meere the Workes which hee did almoſt within Piſtoll ſhot, the more to encourage my Foot.
