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).

PACKINGTONS POUND. I. WHen the Joy of all hearts, and deſire of all eyes, In whom our chief Refuge, and Confidence lies, The Proteſtant Bulwark againſt all Deſpair, Has depriv'd us at once, of her Self, and her Heir: That hopeful Young Thing Begot by a King, And a Queen, whoſe Perfections o're all the world ring. A Father whoſe Courage no Mortal can daunt, And a Mother whoſe Virtue no Scandal can taint. II. When Jeffry's reſigns up the Purſe and the Mace, Whoſe impudent Arrogance gain'd him the place: When, like Lucifir, thrown from the height of his Pride, And the Knot of his Villany's ſtrangely unty'd. From the Chancery Bawling, He turns a Tarpaulin, Men ſtill catch at any thing when they are falling: But to haſten his Fate, before he cou'd ſcour, Be was tak'n at Wapping, and ſent to the Tow'r. III. When Confeſſor Petre's do's yield up the Game, And proves to the worſt of Religion a ſhame, When his cheating no more o're our Reaſon prevails, But is blaſted like that of his true Prince of Wales: Which was his Contrivance, And our wiſe K—s Connivance, To eſtabliſh the Papiſts, and Proteſtants drive hence: But their Cobweb Conception is brought to the Teſt, And the coming of ORANGE has quite ſpoil'd the Jeſt. IV. When Peterborough Noted for all that's ill, Was urg'd by his Wife to the making his Will; At the hearing which words, he did ſtare, foam and roar, Then broke out in Curſing, and calling her Whore. And for Two Hours at leaſt His Tongue never ceas't, He rail'd on Religion, and damn'd the poor Prieſt, And his Friends, who had hope to behold him expire, Are afraid by this Bout they ſhall loſe their deſire. V. Young Salisbury fam'd in this great Expedition, Not for going to War, but obtaining Commiſſion; It's no Myſtery to me, if his Courage did fail, When the Greateſt of Monarchs himſelf did turn Tail: So that if he took Flight, With his Betters by Night, I am apt to believe the pert Spark was i'th' right: For the Papiſts this Maxim do every where hold, To be forward in Boaſting, in Courage leſs Bold. VI. Nor ſhou'd Bellaſis, Powis, and Arundel throng, But each in due place have his Attributes ſung. Yet ſince 'tis believ'd by the ſtrange turn of Times, They'l be call'd to account for their Treaſonable Crimes, While the Damn'd Popiſh Plot Is not yet quite forgot, For which the Lord Stafford went juſtly to Pot; And to their great comfort I'le make it appear, They that gave 'em their Freedom, themſelves are not clear. VII. W. Ws. that Friend to the Biſhops and Laws, As the Devil wou'd have it, eſpous'd the wrong Cauſe; Now loath'd by the Commons, and ſcorn'd by the Peers, His Patent for Honour, in pieces he tears. Both our Britains are Fool'd, Who the Laws Over rul'd, And next Parliament each, will be plagu'ly School'd: Then try if your Cunning can find out a Flaw To preſerve you from Judgment according to Law. VIII. Sir Edward Hale's Actions I ſhall not repeat, Till by Axe, or by Halter, his Life he compleat; Pen's Hiſtory ſhall be related by Lobb, Who has ventur'd his Neck for a Snack in the Jobb. All their Prieſts and Confeſſors, With their dumb Idol-Dreſſers, Shall meet that Reward which is due to Tranſgreſſors. And no Papiſt henceforth ſhall theſe Kingdoms inherit, But ORANGE ſhall reap the Reward of his Merit. FINIS.
