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.

THE Lovv Dutch character'd THEIR BUTTER-BOX OPENED, And their JUGGLES Apprehended and Reproved.

LONDON: Printed for the Author, and are to be ſold by Francis Coſſinet at the Anchor and Mariner in Tower-ſtreet. 1658.
The Low Dutch Charactered, their Butter-box opened, and their Juggles apprehended and reproved. LOw Dutch, that to Religion do pretend,A little Religion, and as little Zeal ſerves their turns. Your Wits, your Studies and Indeavors bend To cheat, connive, play Bo-peep, and defraud,Plentifully, readily. Yea, for your profit, you will turn a Bawd To all the world,They keep their faſhions, alter not their maners. but lately to England Your Juggles have appeared at command. You, you Trunk-breeches, you great Butter-boxes,Any thing for gelt. We did not think you'd been ſuch crafty Foxes;Give him his great belly full & make him ſat, he'l feed the worms & manure the earth the better. Sometimes you'l ſtrike us, then again you'l ſtroke us, And for your gain you'l be like Hocus Pocus. You that for earths great globe do nought but gape, Can Proteus like appear in any ſhape: Your ſelves you do invelope in each State,A welcome gift. Their golden chain and ſilver engine, reacheth over the ſeas and worketh ſtrange effects on land. And by your tricks fill Europe with debate; You'l have a hand in Councels, you an Oar In every boat, you'l have a trick in ſtore, Neatly to cozen under ſpecious ſhows, T'enrich your kinders and your Bumkin vrows,Take a Chamber, and procure one to own a ſmall adventure, and become a Burger, their ſhip and goods free of the place. Your faſt and looſe, your craft who can abide When you appear a Jack of every ſide? Sometimes Hamburgians, ſometimes Norwaigens; Sometimes Oſterlins, Swead, Pruiſe, Breamingens, Sometimes Engliſh, French, Flandern and Hollander, In theſe countries they have great trade, and vend their commodities here. Thus for your Gelt you will become a Pander. The Seas and Coaſts you range for your advance, To Italy, Spain, to Portugal and France, To Norway, Iſland, Ruſsia, Greenland flie For every ſort of their Commodity; But you, fat Hanſes, when you ſometimes lurk Within the Territories of the Turk, You then come home by ſad and weeping croſs, And oft are forced to lament your Loſs. Your Menniſts will not fight, they'r ſo diſmay'd,Their Annaba ptiſts. And all the reſt are often much afraid; Thus with your Avarice you've increaſt at length,Thoſe Shipping that moſt anoy moſt Dutch ſhips, taken from them for lack of defence or force and reſiſtancee: Together with your faintneſs, their great ſtrength: Your Ships, your Men, your Ammunition taken, By which ſo many Chriſtians have been ſhaken. Your Ships, your Guns, your Ammunition ſerve The Turk and Indian Confines to preſerve.Witneſs their great Trade and Commerce where ought of worth is to be found. The Coaſts of Africk, and the Indians all, And every part within this Earthly Ball You'd ſayl about for your own private gain, Though you're not lov'd where ere you do remain:The Indians, Europians, Africans and Turks loves them not. Let the whole world declare the truth, you'l finde That they'l unrip the baſeneſs of your minde: You are ſo greedy,They will do any thing to prefer their own inter eſt: Obſerve this Engliſh men.—Not long ſince the Poor diſtreſſed States, now The High & Mighty Lords, the States General, &c. and ſo avaricious, So jealous, ſo colloguing, ſo ſuſpicious, And generally ſo nought you ſtill are found, I wonder much you live above the ground. Learn once to know, & mind from whence you came, You late were low, and ſhortly may the ſame, Although you cannot change your Belgick faces, Nor in the leaſt alter your ruſtick paces,Their ſhips and goods fraudently owned and coloured by others, and their names and places from whence they came, changed. Nor put into new form your Giant-breeches, And always are betrayed by your Speeches; Yet are you pleas'd to re-baptize your Ships, And give them new names with your cheating lips: And with a Bribe or Pudding in your ſleeve,The Dutch Maſters & men frequently ſayl our Engliſh ſhips contrary to Law. Sometimes your pleas'd to make us here believe Your Ships are Engliſh, or elſe ſome other Nation That forein is, to colour with perſwaſion Some Goods prohibited, or do belong To ſome Dutch Engliſh Merchant, tho't be wrong: A thouſand ſlights more which I'le not rehearſe,This may appear by a thouſand witneſſes. Leſt it ſhould mount the ſcore, & wiredraw my verſe.Plenty of Engliſh Gold in Holland, &c. From us you do receive our richeſt Gold, And in your arms the ſame you do enfold; Our Wooll, Cloth, Stuff, Fulling, Earth,They have more priviledges here, then our ſelves can obtain. Lead & Tin From us t'enrich your ſelves, you daily win. Theſe and an hundred Advantages more, Arrives with you from our moſt fertile Shore.Our own faults and neglects. It's known ſo to you all, without all doubt,Their Agents here get great Eſtates, drive great Trades, and by their purſes & favors do what they pleaſe. Who comes to dwell here, they will hardly out: But in exchange, what have you to command? Not th' tenth of that which groweth in our Land: For our rich Goods you bring us Cickſhaws, Toys, Cheeſe, Butter, Phrigmiticks, they're all your joys,What conſideralbe doth the United Provinces of their own growth yield us: Quere. Your wealth, your treaſure, nought elſe doth appear But what you forced are to fetch elſewhere: You're ſenſible we lately made you ſtoop, And brought your Button to our Engliſh Loop,The late Wars teſtimony. Your men, your ſhips, your ſtrength could not prevail,The men of War then fired, ſunk, and run for it, the Merchant, men & Fiſhers to a great number taken, as by the Liſt appeareth. Though you did anſwer us with tooth and nayl; And at the laſt it was the Lords good pleaſure That you for raſhneſs ſhould repent at leiſure: We brought you to our lock, now be not proud, Leaſt that our Canons roar again more loud.They ſeek Peace, and ſign Articles in haſte, the Articles well drawn, but not ſo well kept, and ſince have recovered their Loſſes upon us, to the ruine of our Nation and Trade, many know to their coſt with a witneſs. Neptune hath worſted you,The many great wrongs and injuries offered formerly contain too large here to particularize, and is left to the judgement of them that know. if Mars appear Upon your land, he'l give you cauſe to fear Your horrid murthers and outragious acts, Innumerable Juggles and Contracts, To root out Nations, and their Rights deſtroy, India's and Europe ſpeaks to their annoy, And Neptunes witneſs on record ſtill ſtands And ſpeaks the cruel actings of your hands; Ambyona, and twice more, England remember, And keep in mind as fifth day of November. Know,This we are confident, and they are fearful of, otherwiſe they would not ſo frequently compound for their offences and breach of, &c. know that Engliſh hearts were nere ſo low, But able were to give a fatal blow To up-ſtart Holland, therefore don't provoke Our Engliſh Nation, leſt we do you choke With ſuch a Pear you never well ſhall reliſh, Which ſhall our Engliſh Nation much imbelliſh. Tremble and fear,We are compelled to conform, if not willing, much more ſhould they. Let them go on or ſtop their ſail, ere they have left us empty and bare of ſhipping, trade, and all. we'l make you ſtand in awe, And be afraid to break our Brittain Law, And if you will to final ruine run, And act like Jugglers as you have begun, And go about to ſpoil our whole Commerce, You ſoon may feel that Steel that ſhall you pierce. And as you have appeared to Spain a friend,'Tis known how their ſhips and men aſſiſted Flanders and Spain againſt us, beſides they are the carriers of all between, &c. And covert in this Conteſt ayd them lend; So for a certain, treacherous Dutchman, know, Our greateſt ſtrength upon you we will ſhow. If humane juſtice reach you not, be ſure That Divine Juſtice ſtroke you muſt endure. Let this for aye remain within your breſt, That to eternity you may be bleſt.If all their faults provoke not our patience to requite them, they will be met with— Deal juſtly, candidly, let honeſty appear, That ſo you may be freed from Pannick fear. Look on Religion, Conſcience play good parts,Their groſs feeding and clowniſh breeding, bath quite ſpoiled them from being nobly minded. And though not noble, ſhew your ſelves true hearts; Do not equivocate, do righteous things, Give due reſpect to Nations, Laws and Kings; Leave of your former juggles, upright be,If they minded this as well as they do their copehandle, they were admirable men. We muſt all appear. And for the future all baſe actions flee: Remember that a dreadful day doth come, A day of Judgement, day of ſaddeſt doom, Wherein you'l ſtand to render an account Before a Judge, whoſe juſtice doth ſurmount The Scripture, heavens, ſeaſons,Be ready. changes ſhow The time is neer that we to Judgement go. Compiled and publiſhed in the year of Expectation of the amendment of their Maners and Lives, by T.P. a true friend of the Engliſh intereſt, dwelling in Plain-dealing-ſtreet within two doors of the ſign of the Dutch Juggling-box, being in the year of our Lord God, 1658.
