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.

THE LOYALL SPEECH OF Sir Richard Stott RECORDER of the Ancient TOWN of BARWICK upon TWEED. SPOKEN To His Royall Highneſs the Duke of YORK, upon his Entrance into Barwick. May it pleaſe your Royal Highneſs,

WE humbly and heartily congratulate your coming to this poor but Ancient Town, a place more conſiderable for its ſcituation then its fortune, yet happier now then in former times when it was made a Butt for the two Kingdoms to ſhoot at: Without our Walls (Great Sir) you may ſee thoſe Hills, where that Royall blood which runs (happily united) in your Princely veins, whilſt it was divided between your Engliſh and Scottiſh Anceſtors, did contend for Empire and for glory; and it is our happineſs that this place which was once the utmoſt limits of two great Kingdoms, is now the middle of our Soveraigns Dominions: We of this Corporation were the moſt ingratefull of Subjects, and the unworthieſt of men, if we did not pay all Duty and Obeyſanee to your Princely Perſon. Your Royall Grand-father (whoſe Sacred Name you bear) was our Founder; He gave us not only our Priviledges (which are great) but our ſubſiſtence which ſupports us: And he tells us plainly in his moſt munificent Charter, that he did it to oblige us to pay the greater Duty and Loyalty to him, and his Poſterity for ever: Your Royall Father (the Mirrour of Kings) was our Benefactor, and our Gracious Soveraign hath largely extended his Bounty to us, and we know that we cannot better expreſs our Duty and Loyalty to him, then in giving Teſtimony of it to you (Great Sir) his only Brother. We have yet powerfull motives from your ſelf: Your Noble and Heroick Actions have been the wonder of Europe, nor can any Loyall heart forget how boldly and prodigally you ventured your Life for the Honour and Proſperity of his Majeſty and theſe Kingdoms, when in the Year (63.) by the bleſſing of God upon your incomparable Valour and Conduct, you overthrew and vanquiſhed the Greateſt Fleet that ever the Sea bore: Then it was that you made Neptunes Trident bow and pay homage to the Engliſh Sceptre. Let the Ancient Romans tell us of their great Sea-Fight at Actium, between Auguſtus and Mark Anthony. Let our own Hiſtories relate the famous Victory of your Glorious Progenitor King Edward the 3. at Scluſe. Let the Modern Hiſtories of Europe declare that Celebrated Victory of Don John of Auſtria at the Battle of Lepanto, thoſe muſt all ſtrike ſail, and veil to your Glorious Triumph. If we ſearch the Annals of Former Ages, we can finde no thing like it; and it is more then probable that the Times to come may not produce a Parallel. What ſhall we then render to you (Great Prince) for ſuch inimitable Actions and Merits? All we can ſay is, that next after our Prayers for the long Life and Happy Reign of our moſt Gratious Sovereign, we ardently wiſh all encreaſe of Honour, Renown, and Happineſs to the Glorious JAMES his moſt Princely Brother.

FINIS.
