Hendrick Laurentz excud. Amstelrodam. 1628.

GReat King protect vs with thy gratious hand,

Or else Armenius will o're spred this Land:

For if in England th'enemy doth appeare,

This is the shape of him we need to feare.

He raiseth Factions, and that brings in iarres,

Which broacheth Errors, and vpholds the wars:

The Netherlands ruine, he sought to bring,

In England now he doth the selfe same thing.

To rayle, to write, to publish bitter gall,

To change Religi [...]n, and subuert vs all.

His Squint-ey'd lookes & Lansa-Wolsa gowne,

Shewes how Religion h [...] wil soone throw down.

His grynding pate with weather-Cocks turn'd braine,

Seeketh the Churches tenets for to staine:

The Christal streams of truth he shuns most pure,

The tryall of Gods word he'le not endure:

But vnto Error cast his blinking eye,

Presuming Truth doth not the same espie.

Heresie vpon a stately Beast doth stand,

Armenius bids him welcome, holds his hand.

Truth by her brightnesse, and her sincere heart,

Shewes that with Heresie shee takes no par.

Treades on their Mounteb inke & Cozning tricks,

Blowne in his eares, by Pe [...]agius and Iesuites.

Which makes his Wind-mil for promotions grace

Publish his Bookes abroad in euery place:

And begs protection for his workes of wonder,

Which against Truth he bellowes forth like thunder.

Thus doth Armenius to preferment rise,

By Equiuocating and his Cheuerill lyes:

And Truth to all appeales to open view,

Bidding all Heresies for ere adew

Desiring our great CHARLES to take to heart▪

And by the Parlament make Armenius smart.

Which being done England shall euer blesse

The King, the State, the Churches happinesse,

And if for telling truth, I burne or frye;

What then deserues he that tels a lye? 1628.

FINIS.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

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).
