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.

CATHOLICK HYMN ON THE BIRTH OF THE PRINCE OF WALES WHen inraged Southask In his Female's Womb caſt, A Clap which coſt twenty Guinny's A project he had Of Revenge on the Dad, And to blow up the Race of the Ninnys. (2) The Poyſon ſoon wrought Which his Highneſs had caught, And Nancy was tainted ſoon after; Soe the Infection prevail'd That the Pox was intail'd Sans diſtinction on Son and on Daughter. (3) The Vaults in the Abby Receiv'd many a Baby, Brought forth in a Stinking condition And if ye have not forgot it The Dutches too Rotted, Soon after in ſpite of Phyſitian. (4) Tho' a Convert ſhe dy'd If ſhe be not bely'd, 'Twas reſolv'd in cabal ſoon after To raiſe up a breed Of true Catholick ſeed, To Supplant the two Heretick Daughters. (5) Then from Lambardy came A Dutches of Fame, Inſtructed in arts Italian Who rather than Church Should be left in the lurch, Might be'indulg'd the uſe of a Stallion. (6) At firſt She' had ill ſucceſs With his Royal Highneſs, For no ſooner was She a Mother But Her Children all Di'd, Like thoſe of Nan Hyde, 'Twas ſaid of ſomething or other. (7) The Poyſon entail'd So far had prevail'd, 'Twas high time to ſeek out for a wonder Our caſe muſt be ſad If a Boy can't be had, To keep the Hereticks under. (8) Then ſtreight we repair To the Infallible Chair, Who adviſe we muſt not forget o To preſent at the Shrine Of the Lady Divine, That Miracles works at Loretto. (9) The Preſent was ſent And Mother Ducheſs went, On a Voyage from this World to th' other Where She made a Prayer For a Catholick Heir, That the Queen might once more be a Mother. (10) The Requeſt was ſoon granted And Modenae Sainted, And ſtreight the glad tidings came down here Which at Court was full hot Before the Child was begot, That we muſt have an Heir to the Crown here. (11) The Fathers kept Reckoning Some of them were ſpeaking, O' th' other ſide of the Water That Trinity Sunday wou'd bring forth a young Boy, Shou'd convert the Nation hereafter. (12) Much of this may be done By way of Dragoon, As France hath taught us the faſhion Religion to Plant By true Church Militant, Far better than Convocation. (13) The Church has ſtill took care To provide for an Heir, When Crowns are in diſpute Sir This made the French Queen To take Mararine For Cardinal Coadjutar. (14) From hence Sprang the Man 〈1 line〉 And who knows but it may be Given in Commiſſion T' anſwer Ducheſ's's Petition, To his Eminence Nuncio Data. (15) Some think 'twas an Omen Of no good to ſome Men, That before the Critical hour When the Queen was to lye Down Are the Prince came to Town, The Biſhops were clapt in the Towner. (16) And now he's come out A Bleſſing no doubt, And an Hero as ſure as may be As big and as Bold As a Boy a Month Old, More like than a new Born Baby. (17) Let no Woman deſpair Of having an Heir, Altho' She be never ſo Barren So long as there are Fathers There'l not fail to be Mothers, Without any fear of Miſcarrying. (18) May all Catholicks Pray All Night and all Day, (Or elſe our Projects come ſhort all) That the Goddeſs which ſent him Would Graciouſly grant them, That the Boy may be Immortal. (19) Then we will not forget ho To ſing Praiſe to Lorreto, And ſet up great Winnifreds Fame And let all Men be willing That new Pauls which is Building, Henceforth be call'd Noſtre Dame.
