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).

AN ELEGIE On Coronel BLOOD, Notorious fo • ſtealing the Crown, &c. Who Dyed the Twenty Sixth of Auguſt, 1680.

30 Aug. 1680.

Thanks ye kind Fates, for your laſt Favour ſhown Of ſtealing BLOOD, who lately ſtole the Crown; We'l not exclaim ſo much againſt you ſince; As well as BEDLOE, you have fetcht him hence, He who hath been a Plague to all Mankind: And never was to any one a Friend, Nay to himſelf ſuch torment was at laſt, He wiſht his Life had long ago been paſt. For who can bear, a diſcontented minde. Or any Peace with an ill Conſcience finde, Thro' his whole Life, he practis'd Villany And Lov'd it though he nothing got thereby; At firſt uneaſy at the Kings return With ſecret Malice his bold heart 'did burn. Againſt his Sovereign, and on pretence He had much wrong'd his Feign'd Innocence; To IRELAND went, and ſeveral ways did try Rather then he would unrevenged Dye, To vent his Malice on His MAJESTY. But finding there all his attempts prove vain, To ENGLAND forthwith he returns again, And after ſome ſmall time, he had Liv'd here The firſt Great thing in which he did appear, Was reſcuing from Juſtice CAPTAIN MASON, Whom all the WORLD doth know, t'have been a baſe one The next ill thing he Boldly undertook, Was Barbarouſly ſeizing of a DUKE. Whom as he ſince confeſs'd, he did intend To Hang for Injuries he did pretend: The DUKE had alone him, though the World does know His Grace was ne're to a Good Man a Foe: Having through all, his many well ſpent Days; Serv'd His KING and Country, ſeveral ways And Patiently his troubles underwent, Finding a ſweetneſs, ev'n in Baniſhment And Death, he Patiently wou'd have endur'd, The KINGS Reſtoring cou'd he have ſecur'd: A DUKE, who being by Providence preſerv'd Hath begot Sons; who Valiantly have ſerv'd. His MAJESTY, and Great Renown Obtein'd In many Battles by your Valour Gain'd, Great OSSERY, who by his Conduct wiſe, Did Oft by Stratagems, his Foes ſurprize And hath as often beat them with his Sword; Was the Eldeſt Son, of this moſt Noble LORD. But I my HEROE almoſt had forgot, And th' next thing he Engag'd in was a PLOT. To ſeize the CROWN; and without doubt he who So Great a Piece of Villany would do, When he ſaw Time, wou'd have attempted too; His MAJESTY; but failing of the prize, About the Town he undiſcover'd lies, Harbour'd by ſome of's fellow Rogues, yet ſee How few can ſcape concernd in Villany, In a ſhort time, he apprehended was And brav'd His MAJESTY, even to his Face Yet when one wou'd, have thought he ſhould have had; Reward for's Villany; and have been made Example to all Ages our good King, Gave him his Life, (who long has ſtrove to bring Deſtruction on him,) and did him Reſtore, To liberty, thinking he ne're wou'd more Do any thing unjuſt again when loe; His ſtiring Spirit, was not contented ſo, For he Engages inth' Conſpiracy, To ruine th' Honour, Life, and Liberty, Of a deſerving Noble Honeſt Peer, And had him brought, unto deſtruction near But Divine providence for ever Bleſt: Prevented this, as well as all the Reſt By th' coming in of ſome, that were concern'd Which all your PLOT; into confuſion turn'd, At laſt our Famous HEROE Coronel BLOOD, Seeing his Projects all will do no good, And that Succeſs was to him ſtill deny'd, Fell ſick with Grief, broke his great Heart and dy'd.
The EPITAPH. HERE Lies the Man, who boldly hath run through, More Villanies then ever ENGLAND knew; And nere to any Friend, he had was true, Here let him then by all unpittied Lye, And Let's Rejoyce his time was come to Dye. FINIS.
