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).

London, Printed for George Horton, 1651.
UPon the 16th of this inſtant moneth, by an extraordinary Meſſenger from Cheſter it is advertized, That the Earl of Derby was brought before the Court-Marſhal, conſiſting of Col. Duckenfield and 15 Commiſſion-Officers, where the Judge Advocate brought in, and read the Charge aviz.
1. That he had in a moſt traiterous and hoſtile manner, been aiding, abetting, and aſſiſting to Charles Stuart (Son to the late Tyrant.)
2. That he had held correſpondency and confederacy with the ſaid
Charles Stuart, and his accomplices; and to the utmoſt of his power, indeavoured the ſubverſion and extirpating of this preſent Govern
3. That he had trayterouſly indeavoured to involve this NATION in another bloody and inteſtine War, by iſſuing forth and ſending WarLaucaſhire, and ſummoning in the people to a Randevouz.
4. That he had moſt traiterouſly appeared in the head of a party, both in Cheſhire, Lancaſhire, and other places within this Nation, and granted Commiſſions, ſigned C. R [being a ſignal uſed by the grand e&c. The Judge Advocate having read the Charge, his Lordſhip made a ſhort Speech in anſwer thereunto, to wit, That he had not acted in the leaſt, contra
After which Col. Duckenfield and the reſt of the Councel, proceeded to examination, and ſtated the matters of fact, conſiſting of High-Trea
The matters of fact exhibited againſt him, are of a very high nature, and its probable may draw a ſevere ſentence upon him: divers other perſous of quality there are which were ingaged alſo in this treaſonable deſign, who are likewiſe to be brought to the Bar of Juſtice: There
THat when a Child of God dies, though his death be never ſo unnatural and violent, yet it is nothing elſe but a falling aſleep. Or, the death of a Child of God, though ſtoned to death, though burnt to aſhes, though it be never ſo violent and unnatural, is nothing elſe but a falling aſleep, When he had ſaid this, he fell aſleep;
Somnus eſt mortis imago, Sleep is the image of death. There are many notable reſemblauces betwixt ſleep and death, ſome of which I ſhall ſpeak unto at this time.
Firſt, Sleep is common to all men, there is no man can live without ſleep. So it is true of death, death is common to all, it is appointed for all men once to die: And therefore David ſaid, He was to go the way of all fleſh, Statum eſt omnibus ſemel mori, Omnibus eſt calcanda ſemel lethi via, All men muſt ſleep the ſleep of death, or elſe be changed, which is a metaphorical death.
2. As ſleep ariſeth from the vapours that aſcend from the ſtomach to the head, and tie the ſenſes, and hinder their operations; ſo death came into the world by Adams eating the forbidden fruit, and by the poyſonful vapour of ſin, that brought death upon him, and all his poſteBy one man ſin entred into the world, and death by ſin, and ſo death paſſed upon all men, for that all have ſinned, Rom. 5.12. Had Adam neAdam ſhould never have died: But in Illo die, ſaid God. In that day thou eateſt the forbidden fruit thou ſhalt die the death, Sin brings omnimodam mortem, all kinds of death; it brings death temporal, death ſpiritual, and death eternal.
3. As a man when he goeth to ſleep puts off his Clothes, and goeth naked into bed: ſo it is with us when we come to die; we came naked into the world, and we muſt go naked out of the world; as we brought noCor. 5.4. Death to a Child of God is nothing elſe but the putting off his Clothes.
Beloved, when we come to die we ſhall be ſtript naked of three things.
1 We ſhall be ſtript naked of all our worldly honour, riches and greatneſs.
2 We ſhall be ſtript naked of our Bodies: And
3 Which is above all, we ſhall be ſtript naked of our ſins, and that is the happineſs of a Child of God, he ſhall put off not only his mortal body, but the body of ſin.
4 In the fourth place obſerve, as no man knoweth the time when he falls aſleep, a man falls aſleep before he is aware: ſo no man can tell the certain time when he muſt die: There is nothing ſo certain as that we muſt die, nothing ſo uncertain as the time when we ſhall die: Death comes ſuddenly, even as ſleep comes upon a man before he is aware:
5 Obſerve, as Children and Infants, becauſe they do not know the benefit of ſleep, are very loath to go to ſleep; many times the Mother is fain to whip the Child to bed, even ſo it is with moſt of Gods people, becauſe they do not ſtudy the benefit of death:
6 Obſerve, as when a man is faſt aſleep, he is free from cares and troubles; let it thunder, (as it thundred not long ſince, as you know) yet a man that is faſt aſleep, while he is aſleep, he heares it not; let the houſe be on fire, while the man is aſleep, he ſees it not, neither is he troubled at it: So when a Child of God ſleeps the ſleep of death, he doth not feel, nor is he ſenſible of any of the calamities, or ſad provi
7 When a man goeth to ſleep, he goeth to ſleep but for a certain time, in the morning he awakes out of ſleep. So it is with the ſleep of death; and therefore death is called a ſleep, becauſe we muſt all awake in the morning of the Reſurrection:
8 Sleep is a great refreſhing to thoſe that are weary and ſick, and when the ſick man awakes, he is more lively and chearful then he was when he fell aſleep; and therefore ſleep is called Medicus laberum, redintegrasio virium, recreator corporum, The great Phyſician of the ſick body, the redintegration of mans ſpirits, the reviver of the weary body: And ſo it is with death, when Gods people awake out of the ſleep of death, they ſhall be made active for God, then ever they were before; when you lie down in the grave, you lie down with mortal bodies; It is ſown a mortal body, but it ſhall riſe up an immortal body; it is ſown in diſhonour, but it ſhall riſe up in honour; it is ſown a natural body, but it ſhall riſe up a ſpiritual body:
9 As in the morning when we ariſe out of our beds, we then put on our Clothes: So in the morning of the Reſurrection, we ſhall put on a glorious body, like to the glorious body of Jeſus Chriſt, we ſhall put on Stolam immortalitatis, the Garment of immortality:
10 As no man when he layeth him down to ſleep, knoweth the di
11 It is a very eaſie thing to awake a man out of ſleep, it is but jog
1. As when a man ariſeth in the morning, though he hath ſlept mary hours; nay, ſuppoſe he could ſleep 20 years together, yet notwithtanquam ſomnus unius horae, but as the ſleep of an hour unto them.
Laſtly, and moſt eſpecially, as ſleep ſeizeth only upon the body, and the outward ſenſes, but doth not ſeize upon the ſoul, the ſoule of man is many times moſt buſie, when the man is aſleep; And God hath hereAbraham and many others in dreams, the body ſleeps, but the ſoul awakes a So it is with the ſleep of death, the body, that dies, but the ſoul doth not die.
If ever you would ſleep an happy ſleep in death, then labour to work hard for Heaven while you live. On how delightful is ſleep to a weary man? When a man hath taken pains all the day, as the Traveller that hath travelled all the day, or the Plough man that hath been at work all the day, how quietly, how ſoundly doth he ſleep in the night? O Beloved! If ever you would ſleep an happy ſleep at death then labor to work out your ſalvation with fear and trembling, and give all dilli
If you would ſleep an happy ſleep, and have an happy awakening at the Reſurrection, then take heed of the ſleep of ſin, Awake thou that ſleepeſt, ariſe from the dead, and Jeſus Chriſt ſhall give thee life.
By Letters from York ſhire on Saturday night laſt it is advertiſed, that divers of the Gentry and Officers that eſcaped from the late fight at Worceſter with Charles Stuart, were apprehended on the 17th inſtant in Hallifax: and amongſt the reſt Mr. William Sanditch the King of Scots Trumpeter, who upon examination confeſſed, That his Maſter, with the Duke of Buckingham, Scout-maſter Gen: Hind, the great Robber, and ſix more, made an eſcape about 3 of the clock in the morning, and being asked in what habit he uſed to attire himſelf in this his forlorn Pilgrimage: He anſwered, That he changed his Apparel every other day; ſometimes riding in a gray ſuit, ſometimes in black, and ſometimes in Buff: Then Col: Laſſels asked him how he could procure all theſe, He replyed, by the meanes of Scoutmaſter Hind, who not only did this, but alſo procured freſh Horſe every day, as occaſion required: And the Trumpeter further declared, That his Maſter had diſguiſed his hair, and had cut off his black Lock: The Collonel replyed. A fair Omen for his head: But after ſome time ſpent in examination of him and others, they were all committed to ſafe cuſtody, till the further pleaſure of the Parliament be known therein.
Major Gen. Maſſey is ordered by the Parliament of England, to be tryed by a Councel of War at London; but as yet he remains at Leiceſter in a very weak condition:
The Earl of Cleaveland and the Lord Lauderdale now priſoners in the Tower of London, its probable will be tryed by a High Court of Juſtice: As they paſſed along Cornhill in their Coaches with a Guard of Horſe, the Earl of Lauderdales Coach made a ſtand near the Conduit, where a Carman gave his Lordſhip a viſit, ſaying, O my Lord, you are welcome to London, I proteſt off goes your head, as round as a Hoop: But his Lordſhip put off this fatal Complement only with a laughter, and ſo they paſſed along to the Tower:
