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 of England; BEING A DETECTION OF A LATE Plot. (or Conſpiracy:) Againſt the Preſent Government.

LICENS'D, And Entered according to Order.

HIS Moſt Sacred Majeſty, King William, ever ſince His Acceſſion to the Imperial Crown of theſe Realms (rightly conſidering, that Mercy is one of the moſt ſplendidſt Gems, that truly adorns a Crown) has extended his Clemency even to the greateſt of Offenders; Amongſt a number of other Inſtances, particularly to the Officers and Souldiers of the Lord Dunbarton's Regiment, after every Soul of them had forfeited their Lives, by their Notorious Defect or rather Rebellion, near the Iſle of Ely; And his Majeſties ſo often recommending to the Laſt Parliament, and his taking Care to have preſented to the Preſent, a Bill of Indemnity, that, if poſſible, He would oblige the moſt Obdurate of his Subjects, to Acts of Loyalty and Obedience; yet, notwithſtanding all this Princely Condeſcenſion, its too too plain and evident, that there are many Roman Catholicks, and other Jacobites, ſo notoriouſly diſaffected to our preſent happy Conſtitution, that they are not to be allowed, or drawn by the Chords of Mercy and Clemency; which is plainly demonſtrated from their late detected ſecret Cabals, and Treaſonable Conſpiracies in the North of England, to diſturb the Government in His Majeſty's Abſence; but let them have a care, leaſt it ſhould befall them, what the Lord Chief Juſtice Scroggs told Coleman, ne Catalus qui dem relinquendus; for Orders are already gon down to have ſeveral taken into Cuſtody.

Likewiſe, their almoſt daily Paper Plots, or Treaſonable Pamphlets, which by their Factors they ſecretly diſperſe, to endeavour, if poſſible, to poyſon the Minds of many of His Majeſty's well-meaning Leige People; for the prevention, an ſome Meaſure, of the ſaid deſign of theirs, I reccommend the Reader to the following Admonitions.

How much Europe in general, and this Kingdom in particular, has ſuffered by the Bloody Zeal of Furious and Cruel Papiſts, is known to every man of common Underſtanding amongſt Us; Therefore it behoves Us, of this Nation, to conſider our Danger and former Sufferings, and grow ſo Wiſe, as not to run the ſame Hazard again, as we were lately like to be brought into, in the Days of James the II; or truſt they will prove more kind, than they have been heretofore; We may aſſure our Selves, if Experience has not taught us to uſe all means to avoid their Cruelty, it has now taught them, how more effectually to work our Deſtruction. All the Repentance that ever I heard they have ſhewn, is, only that they did not more throughly Root out their Adverſaries, when they had the Power in their own Hands; and that is all we muſt look for, if ever God, for our Sins, ſhould ſuffer Abdicated King James to prevail again. For, whatever fair or ſpecious Pretences may be alledged againſt our preſent happy Conſtitution and Settlement, by the Jacobites, and other more Slyer Enemies. King James's General Liberty of Conſcience was but the Guilded Bait to delude us; 'Twas really our Religion, our Eſtates, Liberties, Lives and Fortunes, which that Prince, and his Popiſh Crew thirſted after; For if ever they ſhould prevail, the Liberty they promiſe us, would end in Slavery, the Wealth in Beggary, and the Happineſs in Confuſion. The Horrour of Queen MARY's Days, the ſeveral Bloody Plots and Conſpiracics in Queen Elizabeths, and King James the Firſt, the Maſſacre in France, and the Rebellion and Horrid Maſſacre in Ireland, 1641. are not yet blotted out of our Minds; and the late and Inhumane bloody Practices of King James, and his bloody French and Iriſh Crew, ſince his Landing There, we have daily Inſtances of almoſt before our Eyes; neither have we forgot the lamentable Miſeries and Deſtructions of our late Civil Wars, which were chiefly fomented and ſtirred up by them.

If therefore the Preſervation of our Holy Reform'd Religion, our Eſtates, Lives and Fortunes, the Benefit of our Poſterity, the true Peace of the Kingdom, the preventing of Popery, Atheſm, and Confuſion, and the common Rules of Juſtice, be any Motives to work upon Us, I hope, it will be the Endeavours, and conſtant Care of all true Engliſh-men, to keep out Tyranny and Popery, and heartily maintain the Religion and Government, which is now eſtabliſhed amongſt Us.
