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).

EDINBURGHS JOY FOR HIS MAJESTIES Coronation in ENGLAND.

ROom there, Give way a little to Edinenſis, What? Why? is not whiffling Caledonius gone; certainly he hath been only Babbon-ſtruck, or Prieſt-ſtab'd, I need not fear he will peep out again; his muzzel'd mouth and hapſhakled pen dar neither mute nor give a daſh againſt ſo potent an &c. elſe ſurely the Wag had been diſcovering the Affairs of our Scots World, (for further I believe he durſt not) what his Parliament which he magnified ſo much (and yet deſervedly) had been acting this three weeks bygone; and indeed 〈1 page duplicate〉 it could have been well wiſhed that that unparalelled act which cut off root and branch, every thing which either might kindle or give life to Rebellion had been timeouſly made known, that all Fanaticks whatſoever might know what they have to truſt to from us, and ſo bid farewell, (or father fare-ill) to all the traſh and trumpery hanging on and annexed to both the Covenants.

But what then? muſt Caledonia ſuffer, becauſe of Caledonius overſhooting himſelf, let him go ſearch, and beſtow his Stock to purchaſe Forraigne Intelligence from Ʋtopia if he will, yet we ought to know our ſelves; That Smatterer in Latine would have called this ( 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 ) eſpecially what Edina the Metropolis is doing to expreſſe her Joy in behalf of her Dread Soveraignes glorious Coronation in England; April 23. 1661. On which day ſet apart for Thankſgiving, the Lord High Commiſſioner accompanied with the Officers of State, and His MAJESTIES Life-guard in rich Furniture and ſumptuous Apparell, under the Command of Mr. Murray Brother to the Earl of Athole, went from the Palace of Holy rude-houſe to the Parliament Houſe, where they heard Sermon Preached by that reverend Divine D. James Sharpe, quite of another ſtrain then that at Scoone, Anno 1651. Heer our late proceedings were repented, and not juſtified: (but leſt it befall me as it did to Caledonius) I pray in that Sermon view pag. 10. A King abuſing his Power, &c. pag. 17. and pag. 4. there are many ſins, &c. (:) to the great honour of the Preacher, and ſatisfaction of the Auditory. It was no leſſe cheerfully and cordially done through the other Congregations of the City, and bleſſed be God for it among other glorious recoveries, Prieſt and People are reſtored to their wits.

Sermon ended, the Lord Commiſſioner returned to the Royal Palace attended by great numbers of Nobility, Knights and Gentry, and all Feaſted at one time, and at ſeveral Tables in a moſt ſplendid and magnificent manner: And that nothing might be wanting to compleat the Solemnity, the Lord Commiſſioners Lady with her Daughters at the ſame time in another Room entertained many Ladies of quality with all the rarities and delicacies imaginable, and with ſuch admirable Conſorts of Muſick as hardly could been expected from a Nation ſo depreſſed: Towards the middle of Dinner, His MAJESTIES Health begun by the Lord Commiſſioner, a ſigne given from the Tarras, the Canons of the Caſtle begun to thunder, which was anſwered from the Cittadell of Leith with the like roaring; and the great pyramide of Coals and Tar-Barrels which was in the out Court of the Palace was likewiſe given fire to, which for its greatneſſe was extraordinary, and if it had been on the top of a hill in the night time, for two miles about it would ſhowen light to have ſung Te Deums in the ſmalleſt Print, and put into a ſweat any that had been frozen with the greateſt fit of a cold, and at the ſame diſtance too. After Dinner, the young Lords and Ladies came out and Danced all ſort of Comtrey Dances and Reels, and none buſier then the young Lord Cleremont Son to the Lord Commiſſioner who was ſo raviſhed with joy, that if he had not been reſtrained he had thrown Rings, Chains, Jewels and all that was precious about him into the Fire.

Now let us take a little notice of the great ſigns of Joy manifeſted by our Ancient and good Town of Edinburgh: After the Lord proveſt Sir Robert Murray, with the Bailies, Common Counſel and other Magiſtrates had turned up their Spiritual Thanks to Heaven for ſo bleſſed an occaſion, then they went altogether to a place appointed for the purpoſe, and in a moſt magnificent manner, regalled themſelves with thoſe humane lawfull Refreſhments, which is allowable for the Grandour of ſo Eminent a Bleſſing: By that time their Feaſt was finiſhed, the Bonefire Bells allarmed them to minde the carrying on the Work of the Night: The Lord Proveſt, with the Magiſtrates, each of them with a white Batton in their hands, and the reſt of the Counſel, appeared at the Croſſe, which was diſpoſed in a moſt hoſpitable piece of Pagiantry, viz. A ſplendid repreſentation of a Vineyard, with all the Cognizances of Bachus, and under a large Winetree of ſwelling and Ruddy Cluſters, did that ſame god of Frolicks, beſtride a Hogs-head of the moſt gracious Claret: he was accompanied with his Uncle Silenus, and ſome half a ſcore of moſt lovely and wanton Bachides: this ſame Grave and Spungy Moderator, by Proclamation, gave moſt ample permiſſion to all mankind, for the ſpace of twelve hours by the clock, to be as madd with mirth as their imaginations could fancy: The Indulgence was no ſooner pronounced, but Streams of Claret guſhed from the Conduits: Trumpets, Fluts, and all ſort of Carrouſing Inſtruments which might skrue up the paſſions, did forthwith ſound a Charge: the breaking of Glaſſes, and tumbling of Goblets amongſt the Commonality, made a greater noiſe then the claſhing of Zrexes Armies Armour did at a narrow Paſſe, when they were upon a Rout. But indeed, the Magiſtrates with a moſt becoming gravity, and extraordinary chearfulneſſe, did round the Healths of His MAJESTIE, and Royal Relations. By this time all the private Bonefires was at their height: then as the Lord Proveſt had formerly appointed, there was five hundred Musketiers of the Train-bands, commanded by John Fullertoun Captain of the firſt Regiment and his reſpective Officers that were not upon Duty, viz. Captain John Dunbar, Captain Robert Baird, Captain Thomas Wilſon, Captain William Hamiltoun, Captain Thomas Crawford, Captain Thomas Brand, Captain John Johnſtoun, all theſe Worthy Perſons being of approven Loyalty, Diſcretion and Courage did in a ſtragling way, deſcend ſo far as to officiat as Serjeants, to keep the crowd from the Lord Proveſt and Magiſtrates, as he march'd along to the Palace Royal, the above mentioned Musketiers in gallant order marching before the Magiſtrates and Common Counſel. In the Rear of whom, there were four hundred Citizens with Partizans, led by Captain John Meen, firſt captain of the ſecond Regiment, and the ſeverall Captains thereto belonging, viz. Captain James Scot, Captain James Curry, Captain David Boyd, Captain Alexander Pearſon, Captain Edward Cleghorn, Captain Robert Gray, Captain George Trumble, all of them of equal qualifications with the others: The Worthy Perſon who commanded this Squadron of Partizans, viz. Captain John Meen, becauſe there be others of the ſame name in Town, it is fitting he be diſtinguiſhed; for this is he who hath loſt three ſeveral Stocks in providing His MAJESTIES Forces with Armes, and that he be not miſtaken to be one of theſe who ſerved His MAJESTIE the wrong way, take notice that his firſt was in providing the Marqueſſe of Montroſſe, which was ſo conſiderable, as would have overſet any ordinary ſpirit: The ſecond was with the ſame ſucceſſe when Duke Hamiltoun enterpriſed His MAJESTIES relief, in Anno 1648. A third which was greateſt of all, was immediately before His MAJESTIES going to Worſter, where he had a Ship loadened with Ammunition for the uſe of the Country made Prize by the Uſurpers: Yet notwithſtanding all theſe loſſes and miſchiefs which ſucceeded one another, God Almighty is pleaſed to proſper his undertakings, and particularly in the diligent diſcharge of his truſt, when he was Theſaurer to Heriots Hoſpital, where he was moſt inſtrumental in procuring the removal of all theſe obſtructions, which did vitiate the Will of the Foundator, ſo that now it may be properly tearmed an Hoſpital. But that which hath rendered him moſt famous, was his kindneſſe to His MAJESTIES priſoners; for beſides relieving many Gentlemens ſons from the Barbadoes, he never ſcrupled to engage perſon and fortune for any that were by the Uſurpers ſecured upon jealouſies, and all theſe courteſies he purchaſed without either being ſhaken, or diſſembling his Royal Principles. Thus much we have made known of this honeſt Subject and Noble Good-fellow, that others hereafter may be encouraged to do handſome actions, ſo at leſt they can never want the merit of fame and admiration.

But let us return to the Lord Proveſt, who with this Guard of Musketiers and Partizans, came to the Lord Commiſſtoners Bonefire, where he was entertained by many Noblemen and Ladies, and at the rounding of the Royal Health, our Fire-men acquit themſelves with admirable Vollies of Shot: In fine, there could be nothing more expreſſed of an Univerſal and Superlative Joy. And as the Lord Proveſt returned to the Town, he was regalled at the Bonefires of ſeveral perſons of quality, and for a time, gravity was laid aſide to give place to all ſort of Frisking and Gamboling, and nothing was more out of faſhion and ridiculous, then to ſee any one man in the ſpace of three minuts, not to be hanging two of them in the Aire with Capriols. But amongſt all our Bontadoes and Caprices, that of the immortal Jenet Geddis, Princeſſe-of the Trone Adventurers, was moſt pleaſant, for ſhe was not only content to aſſemble all her Creels, Basquets, Creepees, Fums, and the other Ingredients that compoſed the Shope of her Sallets, Radiſhes, Turnips, Carrets, Spinnage, Cabbage, with all other ſort of Pot Merchandiſe that belongs to the Garden; but even her Weather Chair of State where ſhe uſed to diſpenſe Juſtice to the reſt of her Langkale Vaſſals, were all very orderly burned, ſhe her ſelf countenancing the Action with a high flown Claret and Vermilion Majeſty.

In all this pleaſant madneſſe which was ſtrange, there was not any inconveniency at all happened, and even amongſt the Canalia, there was not the leaſt diſorder. And to conclude the dayes. Jubile, we were advertized of joyful tydings from the North, to wit, the Provincial Synod of the Church of Aberdene, hath made a ſolemn acknowledgement of all their rebellious Defections, Hypocriſies and Oppreſſions, by which they either miſled the people againſt His MAJESTIE, or trampled upon their Brethren who refuſed to commit Idolatry with either of the Dagons, National or League: They have ordained before the beginning of Sermon on the Sundays, that the reading of the Holy Scriptures, and Prayers, be uſed as formerly before the Rebellion, that Glory to the Father ſhall be ſung at the ends of Pſalms, that the Lords Prayer be likewiſe ſaid by the Miniſters, either at their firſt or ſecond Prayer: that Parents who preſents their Children to be Chriſtened repeat the Creed, and be oblieged to educate their Children in the Chriſtian Faith, and no more mention to be made of the Articles of the Covenant: They have in Imitation of our State, cancelled all theſe Kirk Acts that might relapſe us in Rebellion. And Petitioners are hourly expected to ſupplicate the Parliament, to have the Government of the Church reſtored. It appeareth, theſe Worthy Divines of the North will as their Laicks been, hath frequent examples of Loyalty, ſo they will be now of Repentance, and the proverb of Raro vidi Clericum paenitentem, we hope ſhall now periſh, if the reſt of the Brethren be ſo happy as to imitate them. And it is not much to be doubted, for as yet we hear of few Synods but the greateſt part are bluſhing at their bypaſt actions, particularly that of Stirling, who by the diſcretion of Maſter Mungo Murray that ſit with them, have likewiſe exſpunged all theſe Acts that grated upon Loyalty and Obedience. The truth is, moſt of them begins now to ſee that they have been but the ſteps of Great-mens ambition to tread upon, and the weakeſt of them doth likewiſe know when ſuch aſpiring Spirits gains the top of the wall, that they then throw away the Ladder that mounted them, and that now their greateſt ſecurity with the tranquillity of the Kingdom will be, not to diſpute His MAJESTIES Commands, which who ever refuſeth, let him be Anathema Marinatha.

Advertiſements.

THe Horſe Race of Lanerk Inſtitute by King William above 600 years ſince, but obſtructed theſe 23. years by the iniquity of the Times, is now reſtored by Sir John Wilkie of Fouldon, as being loath ſo Antient a foundation ſhould periſh, and for that effect he hath given gratis a piece of Plate of the accuſtomed value, with a ſilver Bell and Sadle to the ſecond and third Horſe; It is to be run the third Tueſday of May.

The Race of Haddington is to be run on the 22. of May next, the Prize is a moſt magnificent Cup; this ſame Antient Town famous for its Hoſpitality, has many times ſadly ſmarted by the Armies of Enemies, yet this glorious Revolution hath ſalved up all their miſeries as very well was made appear by the noble Entertainment given to the Lord Commiſſioner at the Lord Proveſt William Seaton his Lodging, when his Grace made his entry to this Kingdom.

It was no ſooner noiſed that we was to be Mercurius for the Good Town, but we was alarm'd with innumerable Advertiſements, as being oblieged to ſerve every one according to his Stationall handling; amongſt the reſt, one appeared for Caledonius, promiſing a munificent recompence to purchaſe the Copy of a Latine Ballad made of him; he could not tell whether it was in laudem or vituperium, Alas poor Caledon thy Enemies though few, thinks thy back at the wall, and ſo would ſmite thee, what may we expect then, a ſhort time of it, for flattery doth not become us, and we dar not tell Truth as thou didſt.
