Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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.

TO MY HONORABLE AND MOST reſpected good friend: Sir VVilliam Norres Knight of the honorable order of the Bath: Thomas Bateſon wiſheth long lyfe, health and happineſſe, with increaſe of honor.

SYR, I am bould to preſent vnto you theſe few MADRIGALES, and I pray you as you haue heeretofore (rather for your exceeding loue to mee, then for any worth that I acknowledge of the Songs) giuen them your priuate applauſe & liking, when I ſent them to you euer as they were compoſed in looſe papers, ſo you wil much more now, (for now in-deed when they come to the worlds eye and cenſure, they had more need of it then euer) Vouchſafe to giue them your good countenance and publick patronage. In trueth I muſt confeſſe, they are like young birds feared out of the neſt before they be well feathered, & finde no place ſo fit to light on as on the braunches of your fauour: where (ſuch is your loue to mee and Muſick) I hope they wilbe ſo ſhrouded in the leaues of your good liking, that you will giue leaue neither to any rauenous Kite nor craftie fowler (I meane neither to any open mouthed Momus nor more ſlie detractor) to deuoure, or harme them, that cannot ſuccor nor ſhift for themſelues. I could wiſh them a Cage of as many ſweet ſinging Nightingales to ſalute your eares with the choiſeſt of delightfull Notes and the melody of moſt eare-pleaſing harmony, that your idle time might not paſſe without delight, if they might yeeld it to you. But whatſoeuer they are, yours they are, & for you onely they were made. It was your good countenance that did encourage mee to this; Your loue to Muſick doth not onely chalenge it of mee, but euen the vttermoſt that Muſicks art can afford; which if it were in mee, I would moſt willingly offer to you; Now let theſe my affectionate indeuours be accepted, ſince this is all that I can performe: except the honoring of your Vertues, and obſeruance of your worthineſſe.

Yours in all loue and ſo obliged, Thomas Bateſon.

TO MY HONORABLE AND MOST reſpected good friend: Sir VVilliam Norres Knight of the honorable order of the Bath: Thomas Bateſon wiſheth long lyfe, health and happineſſe, with increaſe of honor.

SYR, I am bould to preſent vnto you theſe few MADRIGALES, and I pray you as you haue heeretofore (rather for your exceeding loue to mee, then for any worth that I acknowledge of the Songs) giuen them your priuate applauſe & liking, when I ſent them to you euer as they were compoſed in looſe papers, ſo you wil much more now, (for now in-deed when they come to the worlds eye and cenſure, they had more need of it then euer) Vouchſafe to giue them your good countenance and publick patronage. In trueth I muſt confeſſe, they are like young birds feared out of the neſt before they be well feathered, & finde no place ſo fit to light on as on the braunches of your fauour: where (ſuch is your loue to mee and Muſick) I hope they wilbe ſo ſhrouded in the leaues of your good liking, that you will giue leaue neither to any rauenous Kite nor craftie fowler (I meane neither to any open mouthed Momus nor more ſlie detractor) to deuoure, or harme them, that cannot ſuccor nor ſhift for themſelues. I could wiſh them a Cage of as many ſweet ſinging Nightingales to ſalute your eares with the choiſeſt of delightfull Notes and the melody of moſt eare-pleaſing harmony, that your idle time might not paſſe without delight, if they might yeeld it to you. But whatſoeuer they are, yours they are, & for you onely they were made. It was your good countenance that did encourage mee to this; Your loue to Muſick doth not onely chalenge it of mee, but euen the vttermoſt that Muſicks art can afford; which if it were in mee, I would moſt willingly offer to you; Now let theſe my affectionate indeuours be accepted, ſince this is all that I can performe: except the honoring of your Vertues, and obſeruance of your worthineſſe.

Yours in all loue and ſo obliged, Thomas Bateſon.

TO MY HONORABLE AND MOST reſpected good friend: Sir VVilliam Norres Knight of the honorable order of the Bath: Thomas Bateſon wiſheth long lyfe, health and happineſſe, with increaſe of honor.

SYR, I am bould to preſent vnto you theſe few MADRIGALES, and I pray you as you haue heeretofore (rather for your exceeding loue to mee, then for any worth that I acknowledge of the Songs) giuen them your priuate applauſe & liking, when I ſent them to you euer as they were compoſed in looſe papers, ſo you wil much more now, (for now in-deed when they come to the worlds eye and cenſure, they had more need of it then euer) Vouchſafe to giue them your good countenance and publick patronage. In trueth I muſt confeſſe, they are like young birds feared out of the neſt before they be well feathered, & finde no place ſo fit to light on as on the braunches of your fauour: where (ſuch is your loue to mee and Muſick) I hope they wilbe ſo ſhrouded in the leaues of your good liking, that you will giue leaue neither to any rauenous Kite nor craftie fowler (I meane neither to any open mouthed Momus nor more ſlie detractor) to deuoure, or harme them, that cannot ſuccor nor ſhift for themſelues. I could wiſh them a Cage of as many ſweet ſinging Nightingales to ſalute your eares with the choiſeſt of delightfull Notes and the melody of moſt eare-pleaſing harmony, that your idle time might not paſſe without delight, if they might yeeld it to you. But whatſoeuer they are, yours they are, & for you onely they were made. It was your good countenance that did encourage mee to this; Your loue to Muſick doth not onely chalenge it of mee, but euen the vttermoſt that Muſicks art can afford; which if it were in mee, I would moſt willingly offer to you; Now let theſe my affectionate indeuours be accepted, ſince this is all that I can performe: except the honoring of your Vertues, and obſeruance of your worthineſſe.

Yours in all loue and ſo obliged, Thomas Bateſon.
