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.

OXFORD, Printed at the THEATER, 1685.
May it pleaſe your Majeſty,

WE your Majeſties moſt Dutifull and Loyal Subjects your Univerſity of OXFORD, do here proſtrate our ſelves at your Royal feet, to preſent with all humility this public teſtimony of our unfeigned ſorrow for the Demiſe of our late dread Sovereign of bleſſed memory, and withal from the bottom of our hearts to adore, and magnify the Providence of our good God, by whom Kings reign, who out of his unſpeakable mercy to this Church and State, has preſerved your Sacred Majeſty in the Government of theſe Kingdoms.

And as we can never ſwerve from the principles of our Inſtitution in this place, and our Religion by Law eſtabliſht in the Church of England, which indiſpenſably bind us to bear all Faith and true Obedience to our Sovereign without any reſtrictions or limitations; ſo we cannot but moſt thankfully acknowledge that further obligation your Majeſty has laid upon us, by your Royal aſſurance to defend that Religion, which to the Joy of all our Hearts you have vouchſafed to give us in your late moſt gracious Declaration.

Wherefore out of a deep and hearty ſenſe of our bounden duty, as alſo of your Majeſties moſt Princely Grace, and tenderneſs to your People; we preſume to aſſure your Majeſty, that no conſideration whatſoever, ſhall be able to ſhake that stedfast Loyalty and Allegiance, which in the days of your bleſſed Father that Glorious Martyr, and in the late times of diſcrimination, ſtood here firm and unalterable to your Royal Brother and your Self, under the ſharpeſt tryals: and that we ſhall conſtantly (by Gods aſſiſtance) with our utmoſt zeal and fidelity improve all thoſe advantages, wherewith God and your Majeſty have entruſted us in this ancient Nurſery of learning; to promote the quiet, happineſs, and ſecurity of your Majeſties Reign over us.

And Finally we ſhall never fail to be earneſt ſollicitors at the Throne of Grace, that it would pleaſe Almighty God, who of his infinite Goodneſs hath ſetled You in peace upon the Throne of your Royal Anceſtors; to be henceforth and for ever the defence and ſhield of his Anointed, to protect your Perſon, and prolong your days: and when You ſhall have finiſht your courſe upon Earth in Peace, and Honour; to tranſlate You from one Crown to another, to a never failing Crown of Glory in his everlaſting Kingdom.
