AN ACCOUNT Of the Taking of Captain Holland, Who (it's said) is the very Man by whose Hands was the late Earl of Essex Murthered.

IT's now too notoriously known to the World to be denied, that they who were advanced for these several Years past into the highest Seats of Justice, have prophaned that great Name, Poysoned its Streams, and deceived the People whom they should have Inform'd, both by Vindicating the Authors of this Bloody Murther, from the Guilt and Suspicion of it, and by Defaming and Wounding the Memory of a most Noble, Innocent, and Guiltless Person (whose Spittle, some time before, they were Ambitious to lick up) with the Infamy of Fe lo de se, 'tis to them that the Enemies of Protestancy, and English Rights owe the Success of all these Attempts: And its they whom the Nation ought to Accuse of being the Instruments of Betraying us to Popery and Slavery; and instead of detecting, they have became Advocates for Assassinates, and Concealers of Massacres, that we may even say with Jeremiah, Be astonished, O ye Heavens at this, and be ye borridly afraid.

But that God who has said, There is nothing covered that shall not be Revealed; nor any thing hid which shall not be known or come abroad; even that God to whom Vengeance belongs, has by his good Providence, brought to light the very Villain (whom it's not to be doubted but will be proved) that Murthered the late Noble and Innocent Earl of ESSEX: This Monsters Name is Holland, and generally known by the Name of Captain Holland, a Creature of the Earl of Sunderlands, from whom he has had very great Rewards; and 'tis generally said, and I doubt not but will be proved, that he has received a Pension of Five Pounds per Week, for these several Years past, from the said Earl.

This Holland is a bold daring resolute Man, has a very sharp Eye, and stern Countenance; he has been a Man of Intreague all his Life-time, and One who has been already Convicted of the greatest of Villanies: First, Of Counterfeiting and making False-Guinies. Secondly, In being a chief Actor in Cheating the Silk-Man of Lawrence-Lane, by Insinuating to him, that he, with some others, had a Warrant from the Earl of Sunderland, to seize him for speaking Treasonable Words, from whom (on pretence of getting him off on the Account of his Interest with the said Earl) he got some Moneys down, and Bonds for Three Hundred Pounds; which afterwards being detected, his Accomplices were Exemplary Punished, but himself Pardoned. A Third time for Robbing Dr. Gattaker of Lime-street, by Debauching the Maid-Servant, with the Assistance of one Davis; for which, they all Three were Condemned at the Old Baily, and Davis and the Maid-Servant Executed, but our Noble Captain had his wonted good Fate of a Pardon, by the Interest of his Old Friend the Earl of Sunderland.

Warrants having been given out, and Messengers in search for this Captain Holland, he was at last (by the Indesatigable Industry of a Noble Lord) taken in a House about the middle of Essex-street, near St. Clement's-Church Yesterday Noon, where he remains till further Orders come (from those Honourable Committee of Peers, that take all the Examinations about the Earl of Essex's Murther) to what Prison he must be carried.

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).
