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.

UNTO HIS GRACE, THE EARL OF MARCHMONT LORD HIGH COMMISSIONER OF SCOTLAND And the Right Honourable ESTATES OF PARLIAMENT The PETITION of HENRY PAYNE, Humbly Sheweth,

THAT where your Petitioner a Stranger, being apprehended Eight Years ago and upwards, hath been ever ſince detained Priſoner, and the greateſt part of the time cloſs Priſoner; whereby his privat Affairs and Fortune are not only ruined: But likewiſe his Health is ſo weakened and impared, That if he continue in this Miſerable Condition, he cannot have a proſpect to live long: And your Petitioner having applyed to the laſt Seſſion of Parliament for a Remedy to his Sufferings, they were graciouſly pleaſed to ordain, That an Addreſs might be made to His Majeſty, that ſome courſe might be taken for his Relief; which hath never as yet had any effect, but your Petitioner ſtill continues under great Hardſhip and Miſery in the Caſtle of Stirling.

It is therefore humbly craved, That His Grace the Commiſſioner, and honourable Eſtates of Parliament, will ſo far Compaſſionat the Miſerable Condition of a poor Gentleman, (who is a Stranger) as either to allow him to depart this Kingdom upon his enacting himſelf to Baniſhment, and that a time may be prefixed for that effect, or elſe ſome other Courſe taken for his Deliverance out of this miſerable ſtate, under which he hath groaned ſo many Years: And that a Sum of Money may be ordained to be payed him for relieving him of the Debts he has contracted; which are very conſiderable, by reaſon of his long Impriſonment, and almoſt continual Sickneſs: And that in the mean time, he may be brought to Edinburgh, in order to prepare for his Tranſportation out of this Countrey.

And Your Petitioner ſhall ever pray.
