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.

Good Newes from Jreland. Deare Friends,

YOur courteſies hath ſo tyed me that I cannot chuſe but intimate to you, of ſuch Occurrences as hath hath happened to us ſince our departure from Briſtoll, from whence we departed with 200. men well appointed, and with Colours flying, arrived at the Fort of Duncannon, in the mouth of the River of Waterford, the 24. of the ſame, where we found the good Lord Eſmond in ſafe poſſeſſion of the Forte, who had endured many a ſhroud Bickering all the Winter with a Hundred men; but many of them Sicke when we Arrived there, what Ioy was in the good old Lord, you may conceive, having had 1000. Men of the Enemies lying againſt daily for many Monethes before, when we Arrived, The Lord Eſmond granted a ceſſation of Armes for 5. dayes, at the reueſt of the Rebels, for he alwayes kept them play, And after that they ſent for a Truce for 14. dayes more, but my Lord refuſed, then they deſired a Parley with 4. of our beſt men, with 4. of theirs, which wee accepted of, and as we were marching towards them, came a Meſſenger deſiring (from Colonell Pierce Butler) that hee might meet with my Lord, and conferre with him, but we ſent him word, that they had no man of quality, good enough for him to to conferre with, yet if he would come to the Fort, he ſhould ſpeake with him, but we heard no more of them.

The next day being the 22. of March, our Souldiers being in much want of bedding or Bed-cloathes, and the Rebels Quarters being little more then Musket ſhot from us, we ſallied forth, my ſelfe and two Lievtenants more, with onely 20. Mvsketiers a peece early in the morning, in hope to have driven them from their quarters, and burnt it, but their numbers were to great for us, yet wee fought with them about an houre, what hurt we did them we know not as yet, we had onely one man of my Squadron ſhot into the ſhoulder, they having 9. Colours flying before vs, but very ſlenderly armed, with ſome Fowling-peeces, Pikes made of Dale boards, and ſome Darts, and of a certaine they count their owne caſes deſperate, not knowing whether to leape into the Fire, or the Water, the relieving of this Fort hath much appaled them, their Gennerall is the Lord Mon-Garret.

The 26. of this Month, we had another Skirmiſh, where without doubt we did them much harme, and received onely the hurt of one man, being ſhot in the Face, the ſame day at night the Fellowſhip of Briſtoll arrived, being a Man of Warre, with a Pinnace, ſhee having 24. Pieces of Ordnance, and the Pinnace 6. with 16. Oares, being appoynted for this ſervece.

And on Munday after we appoynted to Batter downe the Towne of Ballihacke, and paſſage of both Townes upon the River of Waterfoard, and full of good Pillage that they have robed the Engliſh of, Waterford is revolted, and the River of Waterford is of that large extent, that it runnes through 9. ſeverall Counties in 3. ſeverall Armes, and all thoſe 9. Counties are in Rebellion.

Therefore I pray God put into the hearts of the King and Parliament, to furniſh vs alwayes with a Ship of good force with a ſmall Pinnace, and to furniſh the Noble old Lord Eſmond, with a Regiment, who is the laſt of thoſe Valiant old Souldiers that reduced this Kingdome to Obedience, in Queene Elizabeths dayes; And is much awed by all this whole Countrey, none except the Lord Preſident of Munſter is able to doe his Majeſty like Service; We heare for certaine by the Countrey People that the Lord Preſident of Munſter hath burned Dungarvin to the ground, a Sea-port Towne within 12. Leagues of vs, And ſlaine 300. of one Captaine Wiſes Regiment, And driven Sir Nicholas Welch to Waterford the 28. of March, we removed the Rebels further from us, fired their Quarters, and burnt ſome certaine houſess, and brought away their Corne, we being not above 250 men have driven from theſe Quarters 9 Companies with their Colours flying, bleſſed be God that fighteth our Battels, we are very proſperous at this preſent.

The 29. of March we ſent the great Ship and Pinnace to the paſſage, and Balihacke to batter it downe the great Ship hath beſtowed great ſtore of great ſhot upon them, what further they have done we cannot know till to morrow, this is all I can acquaiut you with till my next Letter.

My Captaine is come for England to move about a Regiment for my Lord Eſmond, he being in hope to obtaine a Livetenant Colonels place, he hath promiſed me to move for a company for me, he can now report ſufficiently of my ability, I ſhall intreate you to aſiſt him for me, J doubt not but in due ſeaſon I ſhall be able to give you a teſtimony of thankefulneſſe, thus having writ unto you by another Gentleman belonging to the Earle of Ormond, and fearing it might faile, I have written againe with an addition of what hath happened ſince I writ that Letter, J will not faile you every oppertunity of writing, I requeſt I may be remembred to your little Gentleman Mr. Morgan, and that I may heare from you touching the affayres of of our Church and Common wealth, who together with his Majeſtie God proſper, which God alwaies bleſſe and proſper you.

Your true and faithfull Friend Lazarus Hayward. Duncannon Fort, March, 29. 1642. FINIS.
