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

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).

VICTORIA Auguſtiſſimi Magnae Britanniae, &c.

REGIS Gulielmi Tertii, Qui Urbem & Arcem NAMURAE, A Gallis occupatam, fortiter obſedit, & feliciter recuperavit, expulſo Gallorum praeſidio.

LONDINI: Anno Domini, 1695.

A D Nobiliſſimum Illuſtriſſimumque JOANNEM Magni Sigilli cuſtodem, &c.

MƲlti fortaſſe mirabuntur, vir illuſtriſſime, quod tibi, viro in tam ſublimi dignitate collocato, hunc libellum tam exiguum dedicare non dubitaverim: Sed cum res tractet adeò praeclaras, illum omninò viro honorifico Inſcribendum judicavi: Quin imo ſub cujus nominis patrocinio potius, quam tui, poema hoc de Victoria Auguſtiſſimi magnae Britanniae, &c. Regis Gulielmi Tertii, in lucem ederem? quum te ille ſingulari favore proſequatur, quod multis praeclaris indiciis demonſtravit: Nam te magni ſigilli cuſtodem creavit, tibi munera officii ſui regalis, ſe abſente, obeunda commiſit, adjunctis tibi ſex aliis viris perſpectae in Regem fidei, & in patriam amoris; quanquam vix ulli ex hoc praeclaro ſeptemviratu aliter mihi quam fama noti ſunt, excepto teipſo, & Illuſtriſſimo Comite Pembrokiae, viro omni literatura expolito, nec minus virtute & morum ſuavitate, quam genere & natalibus illuſtri, qui me pluſquam ſemel aut bis familiari dignatus eſt alloquio, & egeſtatem meam multoties munificè ſublevavit. Certe magna gaudendi cauſa eſt Omnibus bonis, quod tibi bonitate, eruditione & prudentia tam praeclaro & inſigni tanta obtigit autoritas; qua pios foveas, impios coerceas, egenos ſubleves, & latè in omne genus hominum bonitatis & virtutis tuae documenta diffundas; juxta illud Prov. 11. 10. Solomonis proverbium, Cum bene est juſtis, Civitas laetatur: Nec ſilere poſſum inſigne virtutis & pietatis tuae ſpecimen, quod nuper edidiſti, cum illum ipſum diem dominicum, quo publica gratiarum actio imperabatur, propter victoriam nuper partam, vulgus, quod in vitium flecti cereum eſt, impia profanatione faedare parabat, niſi tua illos coercuiſſet autoritas. Jeohova est Deus ſanctus & zelotes dixit Joſh. 24. 20. Joſhua Iſraelitis, ſi deſeratis Jehovam & ſerviatis diis alienis, ille convertet ſe, & nocebit vobis, poſtquam vos beneficiis proſecutus eſt. Nonne ſi tale flagicium fuiſſet illo die commiſſum, expectanda erat vindicta caelitus depluenda cum in autores tum in permiſſores tantae impietatis? Idciro gratias tibi agunt omnes pii quod autoritatam tuam tam piè & prudenter & opportunè exercuiſti. Vir illuſtriſſime, humanitas & benignitas tua jamdudum mihi multis experimentis perſpecta, ſpem fecit te meam hanc audaciam boni conſulturum. Faveat tibi Deus omnipotens & multa te in hac vita felicitate occumulet, & poſt hanc vitam ſempiternis in Coelo praemiiscoronet.

Sum ſervus tibi devinctiſſimus; G. HOGAEUS.
AD Nobiliſſimum Illuſtriſſimumque JOANNEM Magni ſigilli cuſtodem, Anglicanae gentis & nobilitatis Ornamentum, patriae Columen, bonorum ſolatium, malorum terrorem, Omnis pietatis Virtutis & eruditionis patronum. ἘΓΚΩΜΙΑΣΤΙΚΟΝ QUis laudes numerare tuas, quis carmine digno Nomen ad aſtra tuum radiantia tollere poſſit? O ſaecli ſtupor atque decus, cui vivida virtus Poſt diadema locum tribuit regale ſecundum. Ingenium Caeleſte tuum velocius annis Progreditur, lentaeque pati diſpendia neſcit Ulla morae. Subitis volitavit in ardua pennis, Donec ad hunc ſcandendo gradnm pervenit honoris, Quo nihil inſano vel caeca ſuperbia faſtu Celſius expectet, vel mens moderatior optet. Haec meritis venêre tuis: Nam quamlibet ortum Ducis honoratae generoſo à ſtemmate gentis, Tu genus & pro • vos, & quae non feceris ipſe Haec tua vix dicenda putas. Majoribus altis Praeluces, generique novum ſuperaddis honorem. Atque hinc regalis tibi leniter aura favoris Afflat, & hinc pariter proceres te & vulgus adorant. Omnibus hinc aliis te Rex te praeſicit unum, Et tibi ducendas populi commiſit habenas. Ingenii virtute tui, curaque fideli Nititur, ad nutuſque tuos Regnum omne miniſtrat. Sic Peluſiacis quondam Joſephus in oris Sub Pharaône bono imperii retinacula rexit, Arbitrio dans jura ſuo per rura, per Urbes. Juſtitia viduis, pueriſque parentibus orbis Auxiliare tua, nec vi nec fraude potentes Inſultare ſinis tenui trepidóque clienti. Exhilaras pietate bonos, & acumine doctos, Munificáque manu miſeros, patremque ſalutant Pierii te turba chori. Genus omne virorum Te celebrant, gaudentque tuas diffundere laudes, Et te Neſtoream cupiunt ſuperare ſenectam. Libenter obtulit G. HOGAEUS.
AD Auguſtiſſimum Magnae Britanniae, &c. REGEM Gulielmum III. POST VICTAM NAMURAM. ΠΡΟΣΦΩΝΗΤΙΚΟΝ. NUper ego tacitus ſegni in ſqualore jacebam; Nunc animum novus ardor agit, flammáque recenti Mens furiata novos geſtit cantare Triumphos; Et laudes, Gulielme, tuas, bellique labores Altiſonâ celebrare tubâ. Quo ſcandere tento? Nec Phaëtontaeae timeo mala fata ruinae? Sed Musâ ſtimulante trahor. Quid martia mundi Heroäs, Regina, tuos, Roma inclyta, jactas, Scipiadas, Curios, Marios, fortemque Camillum? Hos omnes ſplendore ſuae virtutis obumbrat Heros Naſſovius, velut omnia ſydera Titan, Dum meliore novas acquirit nomine palmas. Huic etenim Deus, aetherii regnator Olympi Dexter adeſt, tutumque ſui munimine Scuti Praeſtat ubique, trucem quoties violentus in hoſtem Irruit, & qua tela videt denſiſſima tendit Acer equo; nam pro populis non ulla Britannis Fata fugit. Mediis Poenorum qualis in arvis Jejunus movet arma leo, gaudetque comantem Excutiens cervice jubam, & fremit ore cruento Impavidus, ſic ille ruit mucrone minaci Tela inter media, atque inimica per agmina praeceps. O magno dilecte deo, tibi militat aether, Atque tua Angelicae veniunt ad claſſica turmae, Inſtanteſque tibi depellunt undique mortes. Hinc ſacrum violare caput pavefacta recuſant Fulmina, Sulphureae impulſu volitantia flammae. Ferrea grando tuas innoxia tranſilit aures. O quoties dextrâ qui proximus atque ſiniſtrâ Qui ſtetit, ictus obît ſubitò, & poene obruit ipſum Fulminei vis ſaeva globi? 2 Sam. 21. 15, 16, 17. Sic poene cadebat, Iſhbibenôbe, tui trajectus vulnere ferri Sanguine Jeſſaeo genitus, nî in tempore ferret Armipotens Abiſaeus opem, qui te, licet ortum Stirpe gigantaea, valido mox enſe ruentem Dejicit, & multâ porrectum extendit arenâ. Dan. 3. 24, 25. Haud aliter rapidae quondam patientia flammae Corpora terna virûm, Aſſyria in fornace jacentum Facta fuêre, in quos ignis nil juris habebat: Aeternoque dei nato comitante triumphant Ignibus in mediis laeti, celebrantque choraeas, Ceu pedibus pulchri premerent viridaria prati. Tu quoties in bella ruis, victoria greſſus Antevolat, Gulielme, tuos, Regiſque perennis Numine perrumpit florentes aere phalanges, Altáque turrigeri ſubvertit culmina muri. Ipſa Namura tuis obſiſtere viribus, etſi Illam hinc vaſta palus, hinc ardua maenia cingant, Non poterat; proſtrata graves dedit illa ruinas Milite cincta tuo, requiemque capeſſere nullam Suſtinuit. Gallis adeò trepidantibus inſtas, Urbem ut ſponte tibi linquant, & in arce tegantur. Arx tamen ipſa nequit requiem concedere feſſis, Sic tu fulmineis illam, licet undique firmam, Nocte dieque globis labefactam à ſede revellis. Interea dubii metuens diſcrimina belli Ignavus Lodoïcus abeſt, ſemotus ab omni, Armorum ſtrepitu, atque ducum dum facta ſuorum Arrogat ille ſibi, falſaeque cupidine famae Uritur, exornans alienis corpora plumis, Armat, & armata emittit centena virorum Millia, qui ſpatium Flandrae telluris inundant, (Sic vanos generare metus ſperabat) & hoſti Ante expectatum, poſitis & in agmine caſtris Stant propius, jam que arma tenent, pugnam que minantur Sanguineam. Sed nulla tamen ſtratagemata poſſunt Gallica magnanimis terrorem inferre Britannis Angligenis Scotiſque, unitis viribus arcem Dum quatiunt ſimul, & magnâ nituntur opum vi. Sint licet adverſae numero majore catervae. Ipſe etiam Gulielmus adeſt, animoſque Britannis Addidit, & ſociis ſacrato foedere junctis, Enſe minax, vultuque ferox, in utrumque paratus, Arcem igni jaculiſque petens, & comminus hoſti Obvius ire parans: Haec agmina Gallica ſpectant, Nec licet obtectum ulteriùs cohibere timorem, Sed ſenſim revocantque pedem, timidéque recedunt, Hinc pavor obſeſſos adeo circumtonat hoſtes, Virtutem, Gulielme, tuam, ſociûmquae ſtupentes Ut tibi conceſſis ſimul urbe atque arce Namurae, Sanguinei que ſola fuit ſpes maxima Galli, Cogantur miſeram pacti diſcedere vitam, Cumque pudore gravi redimant breve dedecus aevi Ergo Jacobitae cur ſpem lactatis inanem Amplius? urbs, rabidi robur tuteláque Galli Maxima que fuerat, nunc à meliore tenetur Principe. Perge igitur, Gulielme, invadere Gallum Nam latè patefacta via eſt, nihil obſtat eunti. Perge, nec ulla tuos teneat mora lenta Triumphos, Perſequere attonitum ferro flammaque tyrannum, Ante tuos dum ſponte pedes procumbere cogas, Subjiciatque tibi ſeſe quaſi vile ſcabellum. Sola Namura, tuis poterat quae obſiſtere caeptis, Succubuiſſe tibi gaudens, tua jura recepit. Sed tamen ante tuum redeas inviſere Regnum, Aſpectúque tuo populum, vultuque Britannum Laetifica, qui te, quaſi rur ſum à morte reductum Accipient. Proh quanta animos formido piorum, Quantus ubique pavor tenuit, rumoribus omnem Quando Jacobitae falſis fremuêre per urbem; Occidit ante diem ſubito Rex vulnere victus! In tenebris flevêre pii, vulguſque malignum Extulerat caput, atque altâ cervice vagatur, A Batavis donec rediens bona fama remotis, Gaudia va • a malis aufert, fanctiſque timorem. Gen. 37. 32, 33. & Gen. 46. 29, 30. Haud aliter natum rabidarum dente ferarum Diſcerptum Patriarcha vetus lugebat inani Cum gemitu, & vanis lachrymis, iterum que triumphans Laetitiâ, tanquam redivivum à morte reductum Aſpexit Pharias latè dare jura per oras. Ergo reſume animos pietas, hilarique triumpho Laetitiam teſtate tuam; vivitque vigetque Naſſovius, tutela tibi & fortiſſima turris Aeterni bonitate dei. At lugete ſceleſti, Nunc etenim veſtrae ſpem praeſidiumque catervae, Nunc magis atque magis Lodoicum adverſa fatigant, Pronus & in ſubitam vergit miſer iſte ruinam. Sic ſemper vigeat, ſemper pia turba triumphet, Sic ſcelere uſque ſuo pereat ſceleratus in aevum. FINIS.
