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).

A merry nevv catch of all Trades. To the tune of The cleane Contrary way.

ALL Trades are not alike in show, All Arts doe not agrée: All Occupations gaines are small. As héere they all shall sée, As héere they all shall sée. The Courtier woes, his seruant does, Farre more then he can answer, The Baker weighes with false essayes, The Cuckold's turn'd a Monster. The Cuck. &c. The Taylor sowes, the Smith he blowes, The Tinker beates his pan: The Pewterer ranke, cries tinke a tanke tanke, The Apothecary ranta tan tan. The Apoth: &c. The Bricklayer high doth rise to flye, The Plummer oft doth melt, The Carpenter doth loue his rule, And the Hatmakar loues his felt. And the, &c. The Weauer thumps, his olde wife mumps, The Barber goes snip snap, The Butcher prickes, the Tapster nickes, The Farmer stops a • ap. The Farmer, &c. The Curryer toyles, and deales in oyles, The Cobler liues by his peece: The Chamberlaine cheates with musty meates, And doth the Countrey fléece. And doth, &c. The Carter whips, the Begger ships, The Beadle liues by blowes, Yet whores wil be whores at honest mens doores Disphight a'th Beadles nose. Dispight a'th, &c. The Broome-man cryes, mayd seruants buyes, And swaps with him for wares, The Countrey asse doth to the Cosse, Sell Orchards full of Peares. Sell, &c. Some Schoole-masters teach beyond their reach, The Mason dealts with his square, The Fletcher doth nock, and workes by the clock, The Beareward liues by his Beare. The, &c. The Grosers pates 'bout thinges of weight, Is often troubled sore, The Taylors yard is seldome marde, Tho it measure many a score. Tho it measure many a score.

THe Iron-monger hardly deales, All Fruterers loose by'th rot: The Hagler buyes and liues by lyes, The Drunkard plyes the pot. The Drunkard plyes the pot. The Collier sweares héele loose his eares, But he will falsly deale: And such are glad as mand the Pad, For trifles for to steale. For trifles, &c. The Budget-maker oftentimes, Doe deale in brasen nayles: And Tradesmen store, turne Porters poore, When other trading failes. When other, &c. The Water-man will carry Nan, For two-pence crosse the Riuer: Yet this héele say, if she cannot pay, Her passage free héele giue her▪ Her passage, &c. The Glouer pokes, the Gallant smoakes, Yet liues in Tradesmen debts, The Drawer thriues by honest wiues, The Cheater liues by bets. The Cheater, &c. The Cooke doth broyle, the Fencer foyle, The footman be doth sweat: And Apple-Iohn doth vsher Nan, And she giues him a heate. And she, &c. The Ostler rubs, the Cutler scrubs, The Semsters deale in Ruffes: The smoakie man with his small cole pan, Maintained is by puffes. Maintained is, &c. The Chandelors déeds great pennance néeds. And Faggots they die beare: The Uintner drawes, yet makes no frayes, The Begger is voyde of care. The Begger, & The Morris dance doth brauely prance, And about the Countrey goes: And May poles hie shall mount to th'skie, Despight of the Hobby horse nose. Despight, &c Dissentions séede, the Parators néede, And Scoulds him money giue: And if there were no swaggering Whore, The Pander could not liue. The Pander, &c. Thus all arise by contraries, Heauen send them crosses ten: Unlesse they all both great and small, Doe liue and dye honest men. Doe liue and dye honest men.
