Vpon his Lordships Election of Chancellor of the Vniversity of Oxford.

My LORD,

WHen Studies now are blasted, and the times

Place us in false lights, and see Arts as Crimes,

When to heape knowledge is but thought to fil

The mind with more Advantage to doe ill:

When all your honoured Brothers choyce and store

Of Learn'd Remaines with sweat and charge fetchtore,

Are thought but uselesse Peeces: and some trust

To see our Schooles mingled with Abby dust.

That now you dare receive us, and professe

Your selfe our Patron, makes you come no lesse,

Then a new Founder; whilst wee all allow,

What was Defence before, is Building now.

And this you were reserv'd for, set a part

For times of hazard; as the Shield and Dart

Laid up in store to be extracted thence,

When serious need shall aske some try'd Defence;

And who more fit to manage the Gownes cause

Then you, whose even life may dare the Lawes,

And the Law-makers too: in whom the Great

Is twisted with the Good as Light with Heat;

What though your sadder cares doe not professe

To find the Circles squaring, or to guesse

How many sands within a grayne or two

Will fill the world, these speculations doe

Steale man from man; You'r he that can suggest

True Rules, and fashion manners to the best:

You can preserve our Charters from the wrongs

Of the untaught Towne, as farre as now the tongue

Doth from their understanding, You can give

Freedome to men, and make that freedome live;

And divert hate from the now hated Arts,

These are your great endowments, these your parts,

And 'tis our honest Boast, when this wee scan,

Wee give a Title, but receive a Man.

Your Lordships most honoured humble Servant William Cartwright.

Creation

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

Editorial practices

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).
