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).

Althouh his glaſs was ſoon run out, with a fa, &c. But behind him he hath left a Noble ſtock May give a Traytor a handſome knock, For making a king to ſubmit to the block. with a fa, &c. The blood that he loſt as I ſuppoſe, with a fa, &c. Cauſed fire to riſe in Olivers Noſe, with a fa, &c. His rouſing Noſe did bear ſuch aſway, It caſt ſuch a heat in ſhining ray, That England ſcarce knew the night from day with a fa, &c. Oliver was of Huntington, with a fa, &c. Born he was a Brewers ſon, with a fa, &c. He ſoon forſook his dray and flings, And counted a Brewers houſe a pitifull thing When he came to the ſtately throne of a king: with a fa, &c. Oliver had a heart of gall, with a fa, &c. For to murder his Prince at white-Hall, with a fa, &c.

But Lucifer ſoon removed his grace, Then he ſet up young Dick the fool of his race, with a fa, &c. No ſooner was Dick got up to the Throne, with a fa, &c. But he conſidered twas none of his own, with a fa, &c. And ſtaring this way and that way about: Deſiring to be reſolved a doubt. Then in came Lambert and turned him out with a fa, &c. Fleetwood deſirous of the place, with a fa, &c. Sent forth Lambert the Scot to face, with a fa, &c. And being in the ſtrength of his deſire, When he did think poor Iockey to brier, His men forſooke him and left him in the mier. with a fa, &c. Thus you may ſée how ſome do riſe, with a fa, &c. With an intent to ſurmount the Skies with a fa, &c. But when they are up they ſhall have a fall, Witneſs Fleetwood blind Hewſon, and all, The raged rout of a Coblers ſtall, with a fa, &c.

We have brought in Charls from over the main Make wars with France & peace with Spain. Now we ſhall get money and trading again with a fa, &c. Citizens look to your ſelves I ſay, with a fa, &c. Let no Coblers preach and pray: with a fa, &c. Tom Cobler is flown the Lord kno'ns whither Fleetwood and he I hope are together, Now we have braught in the King and wéel have faire weather with a fa, Blind Hewſon was not of our kind, with a fa, &c.
