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.

A PETITION THO THE LORDES CHANcelours of both vniverſities, & to all the noble LL. of Albion & Ierne, to help reformation of errours bred by not Knovving that To Katelthein eis adou in the Crede meaneth

A going vp to Paradiſe: & no going to Gehenna: nor feeling of Gehenna torment.

The ignorance of vvhich article hath vvroght much ruine to the Goſpel:

VVher men geue over all reſistance.

D. BANCROFT complained, R. H. to the LL. of Amſteldam, vvhen j vvas preaching at Middelburg, that j called him Athean, vilain, jevv, traytour. To theſe four j muſt anſvver. For the three firſt: he is no further charged then an allovver of the comon notes: & ſo longe the King cannot help him. The jevv Pharar hath caught him. Let him accept my defence for him, printed, & ſent him, then yf he any vvit haue, he vvill ſvvear that my pen cleareth him from all blames vvhich he vvold faſten vpon him ſelf. Novv touching the treaſon of the Libel: The Earle of Argiles coſin Germane, vvhich vvas vvith me at Geneva, told the K. hovv the ſenatours shevved him, that vpon Bancroftes libel, ſcoffing my hope in the ſcottish miſt, a plot vvas Layd to kill me: hindering ſome hopes more then 40000 ſouldiers▪ & 300. french crovvnes vvere offred me to haſten avvay: j beleued it not, till it came ſo nere that euen Beza made accompt j should never go avvay All this, ypon Bācroft his ſcophing of the Scottish miſt. Touching the Diuinitie that to Deſcend to Hel in the Crede is to goe yp to Heauen: your honours ſee, that D. Bilſon hath moſt mightilie proued that: ſo Bancroft allovving Bilſon ſcoffeth him ſelf: vvhē he ſcoffeth that vvhich D. Bilsō proued to be moſt ſure: that he muſt be a moſt open atheiſt ſcoffing him ſelf in the depth of Diuinitie, or the K. muſt be the matter of his Libel: as the K. often ſvvare in Scotland, that I should haue vvhat I vvold: for my dangers in his cauſe. And thus I anſvvear. vvhen the K. hath geven ſentence, he may mot plead againſt that. I hope the K. vvill bridle him from that: by your Lps honorable aduertiſement: & remember his vovved recompence.

Your Lordslips moſt humble. Hugh Broughton.
