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).

THE CITY of LONDONS NEW LETANY. To the Tune of the Black-Smith. FRom Rumps that do Rule againſt Cuſtoms and Lawes, From a fardle of fancies ſtill'd a Good Old Cauſe, From Wives that have nailes which are ſharper then Clawes. Good Jove deliver us all. From men who ſeek right where it's not to be had, From ſuch who ſeek good where all things are bad, From wiſe men far worſe then fools or men mad. Good Jove &c. From Soldiers that wrack the poor out or doores, From Rumps that ſtuft Coffers to pleaſure their Whores, Which they ſecretly ſqueez from Common-wealth ſcores. Good Jove &c. From Ingroſſers of wealth to ly by their walls, Which they force from poor women for keeping of Stalls, And chooſe for to riſe by other mens fall. Good Jove &c. From Knaves that do pocket good Subjects Eſtates, From ſuch that give Plaiſters when they've broken our Pates, From Rumps that do Vote down our Poſts, Chains and Gates. Good Jove &c. From States-men that Court the thing that they hate, From woful Repentauce that cometh too late, From thoſe that delight in making of bate. Good Jove &c. From Souldiers who mutiny for want of their pay, And at laſt go ſneeking without it away, Crying they hope for a far better day. Good Jove &c. From one who brought forces to fill up the Town, That when Rumps were at higheſt he might pull them down, Becauſe he himſelf doth aim at the Crown. Good Jove deliver us all. From Commanders who never drew ſword but in Schools, Which were button-pointed to favour ſuch fools, Who in vapouring words do threaten Joynt ſtools. Good Jove &c. Who to looſe drop of blood would faint at the heart, And in dread of a Gun are ſcar'd at a Fart, If one blows but his Noſe it makes them to ſtart. Good Jove &e. Who think every bruſh of wind an Alarm, To which they make ready and cry out Arm, Arm, Yet ſecretly pray that there may be no harm. Good Jove deliver us all. From a City that lyes on its back to be Gelt, From thoſe that wont ſtir till famine be felt, From the Pike, the Gun, the Sword and the Belt, Good Jove &c. From a ſimple Mayor not ſit to Rule Hoggs, From ſuch as obey him like Spannel Doggs, From Summers heat and from Winters Foggs. Good Jove &c. From County Petitions and Declarations, That will not be drawn one Inch from their ſtations, But triumph in words for old Reformations. Good Jove &c. From Apprentices valour and threats from the City, Which would Act great wonders, yet forbear in pitty, From fools that conceit themſelves very witty. Good Jove &c. From Oaths and Engagements impoſed by force, And broken as faſt without any remorſe, Alleadging them Ceremonies of courſe. Good Jove &c. From thoſe whoſe damn'd actions with Treaſon are crownd From ſuch that would Law and Goſpel confound, And Vow that the City they'l burn to the ground. Good Jove &c. From people that murmur with Swords in their hand, And keep an entreating when they may command, Yet had rather looſe all then Knaves to withſtand. Good Jove &c. From Rumps that the Kingdoms Revenue have ſpent, From an everlaſting Parliament, And from an Army full of diſcontent. Good Jove &c. From ſuch who do courtiſies with a long pauſe, From thoſe who condemn before they hear the cauſe, And from Trades which are worſe then picking of ſtrawes. Good Jove &c. From a Foes mercy when one lyes in his pow • r, From a Friends anger in an ill hour, And from a fool that's Lieutenant of the Tower. Good Jove &c. From men who make uſe of their Friends in the nick, And when the brunt's over againſt them do kick, The thoughts of ſuch Varlets doth make my Muſe ſick. Good night good people all.
