[...]

A Las! poor Unfortunate TONY,

where now muſt thou hide thy old head?

That has not ſo much as one Crony

dares own the great things thou haſt ſaid:

Is this the thanks of the Nation,

For thy Aſſociation,

And Liberty,

That Reformation,

—which I preſcrib'd to ſet you all free.

Ungrateful unſenſible Cullies,

to leave your Decriped Patroon,

Toth' mercileſs rage of the Bullies,

and Tories in every Lampoon:

Is then your City protection,

And all the vow'd Affection,

For your New Church,

In ſuch Deſtraction,

That you will leave your Peer in the Lurch.

How oft have I treated the Rabble,

and made the poor Doctor to Peach?

Confuſion to all which were able,

and did not aſſiſt in the Breach:

Are all your Butchers and Weavers,

And Mobbily Believers,

But whilſt I treat

Damn'd deceivers,

What Fool by you can hope to be great?

How much did you praiſe and adore me,

for Voting No York, No Lawn Sleeves?

And now to pleaſe thoſe which abhor me,

have ſet up two Proteſtant Shrieffs:

If 'Oats ſhould peach, I'le aſſure ye,

You'l hardly find ſuch a Jury,

As I have done,

Think of the Fury,

He once dicharg'd in Pickerings Gun.

Remember the Key-hole, and Lin'd too,

through which your Divine bravely ſwore,

And think of the thing was deſign'd too,

then tell me whoſe Vizage it wore:

Were theſe ſuch petty Inventions,

And what the Authors did ſince,

To be forgot,

Where's your Conſcience?

If this can be, ſure Natures a Scot.

Then farewel thou Treacherous City,

for ever I'le bid thee adieu,

Thou never wer't Honeſt and Witty,

nor never to any ſide true:

I ſee the end that you drive at,

Which leſt your hopes arrive at,

I have ſlunk away,

To Hang in private,

And rob the World of a Holliday.

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).
