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).

Printed in the new yeare of the Biſhops ſcare, Anno Dom. 1642.
THE APRENTICES ADVICE TO THE XII. BISHOPS, lately accuſed of high Treaſon, by the honourable Aſſemblies of both HOUSES. 1. THou, thou wert the cauſe, proud Io. Eborac Why the fell Courtiers did us hew and hack; By him on thee our blood aveng'd ſhall be, Begining of thy fall, who lets us ſee. 2. What thou on us doſt charge, (Thomas Duriſme) It's true in thee, thou ſecond of that ſciſme, Which is ſo great, that cur'd we thall not ſee; Till thou by ſword of juſtice out off be. 3. 4. After ſoules and bodies blood, Robt Co. Lich. You thirſted; and ſo did you Ioſ. Norwich; Moſt pious men were object of your hate, Your miſchiefe God turnes on your trayterous pate. 5. 6. You two Io. Aſaphen, Guil. Ba. and Wells, In whom a couple of baſe ſpirits dwells; Our muſe doth tell you, for your trayterous geer, You and your brood, are like to pay full deare. 7. I'th heart o'th Treaſon, now comes Geo. Hereford, No tongue or pen, his baſeneſſe can record. 8. And next comes he, who will, (who dare, Rob. Oxon. Of their nature bruitiſh, and) bid A-pox on All Puritans, i'th Parliament and Citie, Thirſting to ſee their blood, without all pitty. 9. Ma. Ely doth exceed the reſt in Letchery, Yet doth but equalize them in their treachery: (For Letchery, Trechery, Popery, Pride, Our ſordid Prelates ſcorne to be out vi'de. 10. 11. 12, Godf Gonc. Jo. Peterburg. Mor. L. Landaff. You three like drunkards will carouſe and quaff; And in your healths, upon your curſed knee, Wiſh the confuſion of all Scots to ſee. Goe twelve Apoſtates (not Apoſtles) view, Your Arch Guil. Cant. the head o'th damned crew, Who hath his King, Country, and State betray'd, And to be hang'd with you, hath ſo long ſtayd, Now lay your knaviſh pates i'th Tower together, And while you have time, do but conſider whether, It be not beſt your Treaſon to confeſſe, With all your plots, and acts of wickedneſſe, That mercy finde with God, and man you may; Before your mouldering corps returne to clay: Meane while, ſtop your ſoule mouthes, & do not ly, Saying for want of you Sects multiply. Whereas by your curſ'd meanes, they do increaſe, And will do, (while you live) in every place, For when in you, poore folk ſuch Treaſon ſpie, And in your waies ſuch baſeneſſe they do eye, Alas, (ſay they) Non wiſe will be content, T'abide under ſuch miſcreants government: To any Sect we joyned ſure will be Before wee'l yeeld to Prelats tyrany. How is the juſtice of great Jove dilated, And Prelates miſchiefe now retaliated? The Scots by them muſt counted trayters be, Prelats (not Scots) are trayters now we ſee: Oh height of pride! oh unheard of impudence, Your King and State, how would you recompence? Muſt all the Lawes made without you be Null? Of pride and — of what not, are you ſo full? And ſo big ſwolne? that now you needs muſt vent To blow up by a trick the Parliament? You brats of Babylon, muſt you be King? Made without you, muſt no Lawes be? a thing The Noble Peeres and Commons ner'e will brook, Into your wiles more narrowly they'l look: You ſpawne of Rome, how could you do this evill, Vnleſſe you acted were, even by the Devill? Let Prelates then by Prentices of London Adviſed be, or elſe they are but undone. Vnfainedly your trayterous deeds repent, Elſe as your bodies now toth' Tower are ſent, So will your ſoules ere long be ſent to Hell, With Iudas, Garnet, Graunt, and Faux to dwell, Which ſhall (with all the reſt) tormented be, In Helliſh woes, to all eternity. But ſtay, we Prentices have one word more, To charge upon this brood o'th ſcarlet whore; The limbs of Antichriſt, the Sonnes of Hell; Who do the powder traytors paralell: Chieffy in this, their damned treachery, Vpon the Puritans muſt father'd be: The like do theſe by this their helliſh reach, The worthies of the Parliament t'impeach With treaſon. Impudent and braſen faces, How durſt you lay on them ſuch foule diſgraces? The wretch that ſpake it firſt, did he not feare, To ſwallow him up quick, the earth would teare. Peace chattering Meg-pies, peace, & ceaſe to chatter, In theſe brave ſpirits lodgeth other matter; Theſe are bleſt Saints, theſe ſtand for Kingdoms good In their bleſt veines there runs no trayterous blood; There doth in their true hearts no treaſon dwell, To trayters they are like as heaven to hell; They adventure their lives for us, we ſee, And (asIn the Pro • eſtation. wee'ar ſworne) the like for them will we, Firſt hyems gellid Ice like fire ſhall burne, And bluſtering Borias to due returne, And m • ſſy ſtones to plumid wings betake, E're Prentices theſe Worthies will forſake.
