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.

Charles R. RIGHT truſty and welbeloved, and Truſty and welbeloved, We greet you well.

We are informed that there are ſeveral perſons who go under the name of Quakers, or other names of ſeparation, now in the Gaols for London and Middleſex, for being at unlawfull Aſſemblies, who yet profeſs all Obedience and Allegiance unto Us. We would be glad that all Our Subjects could be brought to agree in an Uniform Worſhip of God; and We hope that the foreſight of the Dangers which they runne into by a willfull contempt of the Laws, and Our preſent indulgence, may prevail with ſome of theſe perſons, to reduce them to a better Conformity: And therefore We do willingly lay hold of this time and occaſion of publick Joy for the firſt coming of Our dear Conſort the QUEEN to Our Royal Palace at Weſtminſter, to Declare this Our Royal pleaſure unto you, That you cauſe all ſuch of the ſaid perſons in Our Gaols for London and Middleſex, who have not been Indicted for refuſing the Oath of Allegiance, nor ſhall appear to you to have been Ringleaders or Preachers at their Aſſemblies, to be enlarged.

Given at Hampton-Court this 22th day of Auguſt. 1662. By His Majeſties Command. Edward Nicholas. To Our Right truſty and welbeloved and to Our Truſty and welbeloved the Lord Mayor of London, and others our Commissioners and Juſtices for the Gaol-delivery of Oier and Terminer and of the Peace in Our City of London and County of Middleſex.
