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 Congratulatory Poem Dedicated to His MAJESTY, On the Late Gracious Declaration. By a Perſon of Quality. THe Gallick King to whom his Subjects raiſe Admired Trophe's of their awful Praiſe, His higheſt Epithite muſt now reſign, Since, of all Monarchs, Ours is moſt Divine. His Sep'ratiſts he would compel by Arms, Whilſt You win Yours by Force of Pious Charms. This rigid Sects do ſev'rally Confeſs And, Calm'd their Temper, your Indulgence Bleſs. Theſe who before did Kingship diſallow, Your powerful Grace has chang'd to Converts Now. Their reſtleſs Souls ſo Sacredly you eaſe, As they're Oblig'd to blame their paſt Diſeaſe: And Taxe their Hearts, and the Secluding Bill, Becauſe againſt your Conſcience cheifly Ill. Who'll not expect that next their Souls ſhould pay, Homage unto their King the neareſt Way: And Judge the Liberty that he hath Given, Ought to Invite their Union unto Heaven. 〈1 page duplicate〉 The Atheiſt who would Providence Diſtruſt, Or that Heavens Care Preſerves, and aids the Juſt, Muſt, for your ſake, his ſtupid Sin diſown, And ſee how Wonders raiſ'd You to a Throne. Through Seas and Perils, and worſt Storms of State, Heaven was your Guide to Vanquiſh Total Fate: And but ſuch Temp'ral Sufferings did Convey, That you might Merit an Immortal Way. Your Sacred Gifts ſtupendiouſly Improve At once your Subjects Piety and Love: Who now their former Tenents ſo Subdue, As they Judge (more then ever) Your Faith True. The Factious Patrons that Pretenſions draw From hardeſt Senſe of the diſputed Law; Muſt ſoon concede, that by a kinder Claim, Prerogative deſerves a Legal Fame. This Teſt, Great Sir, ſo candidly has paſt, As 'tis hop'd to'ther 'twill revoke at Laſt; For who will not obſequiouſly Undo, An Inconvenience when Condemn'd by You. Well may this Powerful Motive Votes abate, Whoſe Fervors elſe muſt needs Perplex the State. Nor ever did Juſt Soveragin Law Reſtrain, But for Redreſs which Subjects thence Obtain: And tells how ſafe Our King we might Obey, Had we no other Law than what He'd Say.
