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 true and reall diſcription of the apprehending of Captaine Butler and his followers, being bound for aſsiſtance to the Rebells in Ireland.

THe Papiſts have often made bould adventures to ſhew their malicious and ſpleniall intents, towards the Proteſtants, but alwayes covering them with a vayle, that their treacheries might be concealed, and not appeare, whereby they might incurre the puniſhment due to their politicall deſignes, but the all ſeeing eye of the Almighty knowes the hearts, and he diſcryes the ill meaning adverſary unto his people, as will appeare by the Sequell.

On the ſix and twenteth of February laſt, the wind and weather being extreame foule there was beaten in upon the the Roads of Tarmouth divers ſhipps loaden with wines, amongeſt the reſt one of them was a French ſhipp called the Olive bow which was heavie laden and the men therof ſeeming rather Soldiers, then ſea men which giveing iuſt occation of ſuſpition to the countrie, they forth with offered to ſearch the Shipp but being denyed the ame with out a Commiſſion to that effect, it was left undone for that time, with in two dayes after the ſaid Shipp ſet to Sea, which gave the more ſuſpition of feare, inſomuch as inteligence being given to one of his maieſties Shippes called the Rambow, who ſet forward after them but could not cloſe with the ſaid ſhipp, untill they cam eto Porchmouth where they found the Sipp Ballaſt with bullets and Ammunition and and their Commiſſion as bound for Ireland, thus being diſcovered they were forth with brovght to London and commicted to Newgate till it ſhould be further determined by the Parliament.

Their names are as followeth. Captaine Butler. Captaine Iohn Ryant. Adam Gould merchant. Thomas Levalen. merchant. Daniell Daily maſter. ſervants. Morgan Quirke Garret Foy. Iohn Ryaut. Nich Baggot. Darby Ryaut. David Galloway. Iohn Williams. Patricke Furlong. Iohn Dym. Richard Gallaway. Thomas Mattach. Iohn Butler.

The Ship lies at Portmouth in Hampſhire, and was bound for Corke.

THE True relation of a terrible Sea-fight by the States of Holland againſt a Fleet of Spaniſh being furniſhed with men, munition, for aſſiſtance to the Rebels in Ireland.

THe griefes and troubles of a diſeaſed Kingdome, does not alwayes conſiſt invy domeſtick or civill commotions, neither doe the diſtrſſes thereof appeare in all places alike, the friends of a ſtate if perpetually, nouriſht in it's breaſt muſt needs incurre the feare and iuſt apprehenſion of forraigne dangers, without ſome freindly informations. I muſt confeſſe that the viperous brood of Malignants, are ſo ſuperfluouſly plentifull, that it would be no news to nominate thouſands, on whom ſuch a deſerved aſperſion, might iuſtly be impoſed, nay how is the world of late termed to ſuch a relictancy from united opinions that their cannot be a motion though never ſo good and beneficiall to a King or State, but ſoone it finds many both malivolent and potent enemies to ſuppreſſe their good endeavours. The Maſter muſt be beholding to his ſervant for the performance of his bounden duty, the tenant will not pay his Landlord rent (though due) without obſequious conſideration nay there be ſubiects, that deny their King his power and legall authority, by open and playne rebellions, as that of Ireland, who have not onely uſurped his Maieſties authority but ſhewed themſelves utter and profeſſed enemies to him, their damnable bloody murders committed, and dayly proſecuted againſt his loyall Subiects, as alſo by denying his ſupremacy amongſt them, making religion a cloake to uphold them, as blameleſſe in theſe their pernitious deſignes, inviting forraigne nations as aſſiſtants for their defence againſt him, turning his former love into open emnity, ſuch are the contents of the newes, I meane to treate on as followeth.

The manner of the meetting of both Fleets, the Battell, and iſſue thereof.

THe States-men of warre having dayly intelligence of the Spaniſh intentions, for the ayding of the Iriſh Rebells, and being chary of the welfarre, ſafety, and honour of the Engliſh There was Order given that fifty of their principall Ships ſhould be provided as a guard or victory to overſee and watch upon the coaſt of Flanders (to repell ſuch forces if any were) of which Collonell Royſton went cheife commander which continued quotedially ſcouring thoſe ſcas to conceive where any danger might be, for the ſpace of ſix weeks, all that time the Spaniſh fearing the worſt made no apparition for their intended, But being (as it afterward appeared) continually egged on & perſwaded forward by the Rebells to take their enterpriſe of aſiſtance in hand, they ſet ſayle from Mourney neere Maligo, with the number of 70. Saile of Shipping, having with them Don Luc • treſe Admirall, and Don Eauſteans Son to Cardinall Saint Low Viceadmirall of their fleet, their ſhipps wherein they rowed carrying with them, one Saucie Marie Delphos. two Lep • tulcule, both ſhipps of great note, and therefore moſt fit for ſuch great perſonages. They ſteered their courſe as for the Weſt Indyes paſſing by Malligo Garvier, Landſip, delos Cater, Ligeurud, Manuſtrell partes and had almoſt paſt Planders, but being diſcryed by the dutch men of ware, they hoyſed faile to meete them, and ſume tenn leagues beyond the Channell, begune the encounter, the Spaniards proffering parly and divers excuſes to prolonge the time from battell, which was granted, by the which meanes Don leocotreſe with tenn ſhipps more ſtole away by night, to the great diſpleaſure of the Holander, who perceiving their Cowardiſe plyed them ſo ſoundly with bullets that ſtaied behind that many of them weare ſunke others is boorded by the duch as the Le Petriſcula, where in was Don Eauſtance the Viceadmirall with twentie three more of their ſhips, the men whereof they tooke priſoners, who upon examination confeſſed their intended Iorney for Ireland, as alſo they received their Commiſſion, granted to Don Eauſtance, the contents wherof following.

The coppy of the Commiſsion granted to Don Eauſtans, for his forces to be tranſported into Ireland.

Where as we haveing received divers petitions from the Roman Catholick; concerning their preſent danger by the Proteſtant partie now growing ſtronge againſt them, deſireing ayde and aſſiſtance againſt them, we out of our princly Clemencie, have and doe in the preſence of my preſent counſell, give power and authoritie unto our kinſeman Don Eauſtans to berſecute and trouble all Proteſtants in Ireland, according as he ſhall ſee good reſerveing to himſelfe from the Iriſh, (for his ſo deſerveing ſervice) ſuch honours as ſhall be thought convenient.

Given under our hands Malligo this tenth of Ianuary 1642.
