To each Gentleman S [...]dier in the Company [...] Captain John Hulls, Captain in the YELLOW Regiment of Trained Bands of London.

THO your great Actions I need not rehearse,

(They speak your Worth beyond my home-spun Verse,)

Yet Custom once a Year obliges me

T'applaud your long-experienc'd Loyalty:

Wherefore, Great Sirs, all that's desir'd by me,

Is, that my Offering may accepted be;

Being made unto you with a free good Will,

Altho I can't pretend to th' Poet's Skill.

When the Bold French (last Year) had an Intent

Us to Invade, the YELLOW Regiment

First took up Arms, meaning thereby to shew

All Loyal Subjects what they ought to do

For their dear Country, and its Warlike King,

Whose Valour through th' whole Universe doth ring.

When the Six Reg'ments March'd unto Hide-Park,

(Each Man accoutred like a Warlike Spark)

You were the Van, the Place of Honour due

(Brave Heroes of the YELLOW) unto you:

Th' admiring Crowd afforded you Applause,

Crying, Behold the Glorious YELLOW Boys,

Whose Loyalty has ever stedfast been

Unto our most auspicious King and Queen,

William and Mary whose great Worth will be

Recorded unto all Posterity.

And when their Majesties were pleas'd to say

They'd grace the Triumph of the Lord Mayor's Day,

The YELLOW then was pitch'd upon to be

Their chiefest Safeguard and Security.

Thus upon all Occasions you are free

To signalize your Zeal and Loyalty

To your Dear Country and His Majesty.

For which long may you live, untill you see

All Enemies to England's Monarchy

Fall down before your Arms and Loyalty.

May sacred Heav'n always propitious be

To Great King William and his Consort Mary,

Is the good Pray'r, and shall be to the End,

Of your most faithful Marshal and your Friend

Thomas Hawki [...]

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).
