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).

Britaine and Irelands laſt adew To Rome, and Babels curſed crew. SInce Jock and Jack by happie chance are ioynd in amitie: You popiſh Monſieurs march to France, you Dons to Caſtalee. Let Romiſh frogs return to Rome, and meane them to the Pope: If here they haunt, expect a doome no better nor a rope. Our Iriſh Shane with weeping eye, mones he lov'd Rome ſo long: And now to God and Britaine he regraits his woes and wrong, Entreating them for Chriſts bleſt woundes, that he reliev'd may be From errors pits wherein he ſwouns leaſt blinded there he die. For why? in Turkie, Rome, nor Spain was not ſuch crueitie, Nor for God Saints ſuch barbarous pain, ſuch ſhame and miſerie. Such grinding of the poor ones face, ſuch plots of Church and State, Unpuniſhed were in no place, as in our land of late. Trueman to God and to his King, did at Knockfergus die; And there a ſpectacle did hing, whiles traitours honourd be. March on brave Jock, thy lot is ſo, Gods game for to begin: To free thy ſelf and brethren two from that proud man of ſin. Jack uſe thy time, and buſie be to chaſe theſe frogs a way, And with brave Jock bear company who will thee lend a day. At Tyne hee'l on thy ſervice ſtay, while thou well ſatled be: And for Schans ſake alongs the wa • to Dublin march with thee. Thoſe Romiſh Brambles to root out, which have overgrown that land, And Wentworths weeds to dig about, which in Chriſt field there ſtand. And when brave Jock returns from Tyne, and Schane from Rome ſet free, Jock will with Jack march to the Rhyne the Palſgraves bounds to ſee. There to avenge the woes and wrong of our Eli • a faire, Whoſe Princely race horn down ſo long is by the Spainiard there. I hope our Lyon once will wake, and with his Libbards ſtrong, His Siſters race to take to heart his Martiall thoughts among. The pricking Thiſſle ſhall convoy Chriſts Enſignes to thoſe bounds: And Hibers Harps with greateſt ioy ſhall warble forth their ſounds. O if that bleſſed Day would daw, which Jock and Jack would ſee, Then they with courage in a raw ſhould march to Germanie. To clip the Eagles ſoaring wings, and curbe in pride full •• paine: Then he as God in Rome who reignes ſhall fall, not riſe againe. The Lord who hath this work begun, make it pertlied be; And when theſe troublous times are done end Sions miſerie. Amen quoth he, who prayes theſe three By God conjoin'd in unitie, May ſtill in one Religion Fear God, under one tripled Crown: That Dag •• heer as he hath been May neer Gods ark no more be ſeen. FINIS
