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).

OUR Comet or the Blazing-Star, At Staffords Death was ſeen ſo far; It plainly poynted out this year, 'Gainſt Whiggiſh Calculation. This Year which Gadberry Foretold That Engliſh Mines ſhould turn to Gold. Great Princes ſhall their Empires hold, By Chriſtians preſervation. Five Years agone, few thought to ſee, On Hounſley-Heath Great James to be; Balance of Chriſtian Princis he, All Europes Dread and Wonder. A Handfull of his Army there, Cut down the Rebels in each Shire; To Aſſiſt him in the Weſtern-War, Great Jove threw down his Thunder. In Hounſley-Heath, both Foot and Horſe, With Conquering Eyes reſembling Mars; With glittering Armour, Gold as Droſs, Shone bright on every Souldier: All Amorous Ladies that were there, To the Commanders in deſpair; None bow'd, without a wiſhfull tear, In Love was all Behoulders. All night the Ladies vow'd to Dream Of nothing but thoſe Warlike-Men, Monmouth was but a fool to them, For all his ſoft Debauches. Each Souldier like Adonis gaines, Their trembling hearts, and ſmothered flames; Achillis conquered Countrey-dames, But theſe were all in Coaches. The Morning was clos'd up with Clouds, The Herds and She • p, for ſhelter crouds; When James appeared, theſe threatning Shrouds Diſpers'd, and Phebus Shined, And darts his Beams upon the Plain, Then Floriſh'd all the dazling Train; Both Holland, Flanders, France and Spain, To James the Lawrel Signed. To Accompliſh theſe our glorious Days, The Chriſtian Arms beyond the Seas; Victorious Harmony to pleaſe Our King, with Conqueſt ſounding. With Horſe and Foot, the Gun nnd Drum, And Chriſtian Shouts they Run they Run, Like our weſt-Country Turks at home, In Huugary they're Confounded. Lorrain with Forty Thouſand men, Newhaſel took, relieved Gran, I'th' Face of Sixty Thouſand Men, Cut theſe down at his leiſure. In two days time he did Controal, With Conduct bright, and Warlike Soul, Without the help of French or Pole, He Conquers at his pleaſure. This Year hath cruſht the Serpents head, The Turks cut off, the Whigs are dead; Some Jayl'd, ſome hang'd, the reſt run mad; Becauſe the Turks are routed. While Chriſtian Souldiers, daring Boys, Drinks the Kings Health, themſelves enjoys, All dangerous Conſequence deſtroys, No Kingdom? Safe without it.
