May it pleaſe Your Majeſty,

WHen we reflect on the joyful Acclamations with which the News of Your Majeſties Succeſſion to the Crown, were received in this Capital City of Your Majeſties Ancient Kingdom, notwithſtanding of the ſad Loſs which made way for it; And with what profound Peace and Quiet theſe Acclamations are ſtill followed here: We cannot but bleſs the Almighty God by whom Kings Reign, and by whom that Royal Line under which we have been ſo long happy, is now lengthened to one degree further by your Glorious Addition, Your Majeſty b [...]ing now the III Monarch of that Royal Race; Having alſo reaſon to expect from Your Juſtice and Clemency which we our ſelves were ſo happy as to ſee when we were Governed by your Majeſties immediat Influence. That your Majeſties Inclinations are as good as your Title, and that Your great Prudence is able to foreſee, and Your great Courage able to overcome all theſe deſperate Deſigns which tend to make us Atheiſts, under the pretext of Religion, and Slaves under the pr [...]text of Liberty. We do therefore from joyful hearts Congratulate Your Majeſties happy Aſcent to the Throne of Your Ancient and Royal Anceſtors; And as this City had from their Bounty their large Priviledges, So we hope from Your Majeſties Juſtice and Kindneſs the free Exerciſe and happy Continuation of them. In Recognizance whereof we ſhall be alwayes ready to imploy our Lives and Fortunes in Your Majeſties Service, and to pray the Almighty God to preſerve You from the Malice of Your Enemies, and to make you a Bleſſing to Your Dutiful Subjects.

Editorial practices

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).
