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).

TYRANTS Tryumphant: OR, The High Court of State. Loe here in Rank and File the Rebels ſtand, VVho have unchriſtened half a Chriſtian Land, Lo here the Libertines, thoſe Lawleſſe things, VVho hate the Scepter, yet would all be Kings, Loe here the Regindos, who at one ſtroak, Have coller'd us in an Egyptian yoak, Behold them well, take notice which is beſt, Find out one good, Ile ſwear for all the reſt.

FOure Trayterous Earles, as many ſtinking Lords, The verieſt fooles and knaves the Land affords, Two Saints, one a Prodigious flame of light, The other a moſt ſmooth Hermophradite; Two Juſtices in chiefe, (for grand deſerts) The Laundring Baron, that doth waſh his Shirts, Beſides Lord Preſident unto the State, Who had the Law once puſht into his pate. Nine skittiſh Knights, the firſt a jewell Thiefe, The next a Broker of the Saints beliefe, The third, a Pandor to his zealous Siſter, Whilſt Major (he knowes who) devoutly kiſt her, The fourth, a Coward, poſted up of yore, Becauſe he would not ſtand unto his Whore; The fift ſo valiant▪ that he run away At Newburn Heath, yet ſwore he won the day; The ſixt, a curſed Cheat; the ſeventh a Sot Not civiliz'd, till by a barbarous Scot; The eighth, a man of chaſte and holy life, Ask but his Hand-maid, or his zealous Wife, Perhaps the Gravell-pit may it remember, For here indeed he ſhew'd himſelf a Member; The Ninth, New-England vamped in the Foot, Or elſe he had withered both branch and root. Two reverend Cits, a creeping knave the firſt, Skin'd ore with Sacriledge, yet belly-burſt; The latter worldly wiſe, but weak within, His guts is furr'd with dregs, his heart with ſinne. Twelve more there are, and they be called Squires, Bred up by Beggars, at good peoples fires, Moſt of whoſe names were never known before, Except in ſome Church-wardens liſt of the Poore, Or at the Seſſions-houſe, (for there indeed) Inditements have been fatall to their breed, Yet theſe be they who muſt have all the ſway, Theſe are the Kings the Engliſh muſt obey, Here are the Pillars of the Common-weale, The Power Supream, from whence is no appeale. England, ſhake of theſe fetters, fight and dye, Rather then live ſlave to their Tyranny, Admit thy lawfull King, revenge the blood Of Him theſe murdred, for being too good; Purge out thy peccant humours that abound, Let blood, 'twill cleanſe, and make thy body ſound; This Phyſick is ſafe, if uſed but in ſeaſon, No Dote ſo proper for diſpelling Treaſon, Take it ſick England, if thou wilt be well, For there's no health till theſe men fry in Hell.
