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.

Great News from the NORTH: GIVING A True Account and RELATION OF THE Seizing of ſeveral Great Officers, Soldiers, and other Eminent Perſons; Particularly, One of the late King's Domeſtick Servants: TOGETHER With their Horſes, Arms, and other Conſiderable Booty; deſigned, as is ſuppoſed, for Ireland.

Licenſed, and Enter'd according to Order.

SInce Almighty Providence has ſo Signally manifeſted its Power, in the Preſervation of theſe Kingdoms, from the Bondage of Popery and Slavery; we cannot but wonder, that there ſhould be any of that Faction remaining to Support ſo Tottering a Cauſe. And yet it is too Evident, by the Sedulous Endeavours of our Implacable Adverſaries, that we have ſtill too many ncendiaries and Beautifeus amongſt us, as to raiſe that Fading Smoak into a Flame. Theſe are the people, whoſe very Rudiments and Fundamentals diſtill nto them the principles of Cruelty and Rebellion; that have Commiſſion for Murder, and Diſpenſation for Deſtroying Hereticks. But all their Stratagems are n vain: nor can it now be expected that any reaſonable perſon ſhould be ſo Inſatuated, as once to ſuffer it to enter into his mind to bring us back from a Flouriſhing people, a ſettled Throne, and a Unanimous Eſtabliſhment, to a Voluntary Bondage; or Subject the Serenity of a Halcyon Galm, to the Storms and Tempeſts of a threatning Tyranny: Yet notwithſtanding the Tranquility which theſe Nations ſenſibly feel and poſſeſs under the Benigne Influence of ſo Gracious a King and Queen, Eſtabliſhed in the Throne, and the Aſſurance we have of the Proteſtant Religion, confirm'd to us with all our Rights and Liberties; there are yet a ſort of Male-contents amongſt us, that, like the Murmuring Iſraelites, deſpiſe the Manna, that Heaven ſhowers round about their Tents, the true Religion, and Light of the Goſpel that ſhined upon them; and Luſt after the Onions, and Fleſh-pots of Aegypt. Theſe are the Murmurs, that are unadviſedly deſirous to bring us back to the Fleſh-pots of Aegypt; The Bondage we have o lately and miraculouſly Eſcaped. Of this ſort are thoſe, who by a Treacherous Revolt, (at leaſt Neglect) betray'd their Truſt in Ireland, to the great prejudice of the preſent happy Eſtabliſhment of this Nation, and the Proteſtant Intereſt in that Kingdom; that Intereſt which they thought to have utterly ſubdued, cruſh'd and oppreſt by an Inſulting power of French and Iriſh Papiſts; and thi with all the Demonſtrations of Cruelty, that could be expected from a mo •• Incenſed and Barbarous Enemy. And not only in Ireland, but the Kingdome 〈◊〉 Scotland, where ſome have fall'n under the ſuſpicion of Undutifulneſs and Di loyalty, and yet ſome of them profeſſing themſelves Proteſtants. But that an Hero Engliſh Soul ſhou'd ſo Degenerate, is to be more admir'd, if not deplor'd Yet it ſeems amongſt us, there are not ſome wanting, who after ſo great a Deliverance, are deſirous (if it lay in their power) to inflame their Native Land and appear Reprobates to the Grace is offer'd to them. This is the Subject 〈◊〉 our preſent Matter, and appears by theſe Gentlemen and Fugitives mention' in this Narrative, who have endeavour'd to get off to the profeſſed Enemy, an Diſturber of the Peace and Tranquility of theſe Kingdoms: and labour to brea the wholeſome Meaſures, hitherto taken for our Security. And tho' theſe Incendiaries of the Nation, and diſturbers of our publick peace, have found al their Attempts hitherto unſucceſsful, through the Vigilance of thoſe who are in Authority; Yet do they ſtill, like Cataline, attempt higher ills, although 〈◊〉 be to their own Deſtruction.

Amongſt this numerous Train, whoſe Perſons as well as Intreagues have been from time to time detected, the following perſons have been lately Diſcover'd, with a Deſign of going over into Ireland to joyn Arms with thoſe Combinated Rebels, the French and Iriſh, againſt the preſent Government.

The Principal of theſe Perſons now taken and ſecur'd, was Col. L—gg, Brother to an eminent Peer of this Realm, with whom was one Hay ood, another Eminent Officer, and ſeveral more. Enquiry was made into that matter, and it appearing more and more ſuſpicious, that there was ſome deſign on foot to raiſe Commotions, or to get over to the Popiſh party in Ireland, ſuch diligence was uſed by the Officers of the Militia and others, that for the preventing the Miſchiefs that might ariſe through neglect, the ſaid Colonel, and above twelve perſons of Note more were ſecured, in order to their being examined, and brought up to London; their Horſes were likewiſe ſeized, with valuable Materials and Furniture: And amongſt the number of thoſe taken, we have an Expreſs by a Letter, that upon ſcrutiny and ſtrict Examination, one of them appears to be, or very lately to have been, the late King James's Domeſtick Servant; by wh ſe further Examination, it is not doubted a great Light may be given into the dark Contrivances, and underhand Dealings; ſo that the ſecret Intreagues of the Papiſts, and their Agents may be blaſted, and utterly defeated in theſe Kingdoms; and that as they all along have experienced, they may find, that they are but vain Projectors, ſince their Wiſdom is ever luckily turned into Fooliſhneſs; and that God being on our ſide, it is evident, that Man's Counſels and Devices cannot proſper againſt the Strength of an Almighty A m, who has Power to Will and to Do what ever he pleaſes in Heaven, and in Earth.

FINIS.
