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.

Ots's Lamentation AND A VISION that appeared to him ſince his Tryal: Over heard by one of his Keepers in his Chamber: at the Kings bench, A SONG To the Tune of State andAmbition. I. A Due to my Title, of Saviour o'th' Nation My Forty Commiſſions and Spaniſh Black Bills, My Twelve pounds a week and all hopes of Salvation, Six Diſhes a day which my Demons oft fills: Now Oats muſt be whipt through each County o'th Kingdom In each Corporation in Pillory, muſt ſtand, Out-face the Contempt of all Chriſtians, and when done, Muſt turn home for Tyburn, to hang and be Damn'd. II. I no God nor Devil believed nor feared, Until ſince my Tryal one Night in the Goal, A Legion of Fiends in my Chamber appeared There over my Brazenfac'd Conſcience did quale They ſhewed all my Actions, my Bums and my Poſtures As we us'd to ſcamper on Flock-beds and Flours; How I am the worſt of all Sodomites Baſtards, I ſtuck to my Bums and kickt out all the Whores. III. Then Whitebread and Fenwick, brave Gavin and Harcourt, Turner and Pickering, Coleman and Langorne Ireland, Grove Staely; I deſerve to hang for't, And Stafford came bleeding and in the ſame form Their heads in their hands, they quite round me removed Blood ſprung as from Fountains, where their heads had ſtood, This Viſion with horror my Conſcience reproved They left all my Chamber beſmeared with Blood. IV. No Mercy from God, nor from Man I can hope, for Abus'd both my Country, my God and my King, The Deſtruction of all I moſt falſely have ſworn for The moſt Loyal Families to ruin I did bring, Yet am ſo Caſe-hardned; I cannot repent it, My ſoul is ſwelled bigger than it was before: Black Treaſon or Murther, I ſtill would attempt it, Where I to be Damn'd and hang'd at the Door. V. Toney and Sidney were firſt that Employ'd me, Sent me to St. Omers a Plot for to find; They found me a Fool for their turn when they'd try'd me, Zounds, I all the while left the Plot here behind, Which Three parts o'th' Nation with Toney had ſigned, Reſolv'd to Rebel and our King to dethrone; But his Stars by providence ours hath out-ſhined, And left me like a Rogue to be hang'd all alone. VI. Twenty from St. Omers all proved me Perjur'd, And Fifty from Staffordſhire made it as plain; Ireland dy'd wrongfully to my ſouls hazard, And all that I ſwore againſt dyed the ſame; Beſides, my own Evidence came in againſt me, Call'd me Rogue, and ſpiller of Innocent Blood; Yet ſtill I'll deny all to ſave thoſe Advanc'd me, Whoſe party maintains me with Gold, Drink & Food. VII. Then he like a Hogg fell to ſnorting I left him, Ty'd up with his Irons and his bloody black ſoul, Content to be Damn d as Old Ton y had taught him, For Perjured Murther, no Fiend e're ſo foul; Yet he muſt be hang'd for the honour o'th' Nation That Innocent Blood may not threaten the Crown Of the King or Queen Mary, the Worlds Admiration, Whoſe Scepter ſhall flouriſh and ne're tumble down. FINIS.
