Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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.

An Extract of a Letter written 4. January. 1641. From Iſidores Colledge in Rome, by Bonaventure O Connye, to Feylmi Roe O Neill in Ireland.

THe holy Father and his two Nephewes, Cardinall Anthony Barbarinus Protector of Ireland, and Cardinall Francis Barbarinus, who hath all the power here in ſuch matters as concern the Pope, have heard of the War and Confederation which you make for your Religion and Libertie: And truly I cannot expreſſe the greatneſſe of the Joy (no wonder) which they conceive thence, in ſuch manner, that if they had received Letters, or if you had ſent an Agent unto them to expreſſe your Will or Deſignes, you ſhould want no help for your better proceedings. Wherefore I would have you to ſend ſome able man, with a Declaration of your Grievances in form of Law.

Be ſure to have a great heart, and make ſome chief head among you, but reſerve the Crown for Con his ſide the Neills. Remember the old ſlaverie wherein you have lived of long time, and the deſtruction which will generally come upon you, except you get the upper hand: You will prevail, if you joyn together as you ought, God ſend it. I would advize every chiefe Officer among you to have a Secretarie along with him to write a Diurnall of your paſſages, and overthrows, which your Enemies receive; which will redound much to your Glory. Spoil not the countrey for fear of Famine. I will not fail to write according as I ſhall hear from you. We would ſend unto you a Bull, after the form of the Bull which Hugh Mac-Baron got, if we had received your Letters. If the Church do well they will turn over the Election of Prelates there to the Nobilitie, and will give them Authoritie in that point.
