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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

THE SPEECH Of the Right Honourable Henry Powle, Eſquire, SPEAKER of the Houſe of Commons: On Munday the Sixteenth of December, 1689. at the Paſſing of Four BILLS, ENTITULED, I. An Act for a Grant to Their Majeſties of an Aid of Two ſhillings in the Pound for One Year. II. An Act for Declaring the Rights of the Subject, and Settling the Succeſſion of the Crown. III. An Act for Naturalizing William Watts, an Infant. IV. An Act for Declaring and Enacting John Rogerſon to be a Natural born Subject of this Realm. May it pleaſe Your Majeſty.

YOur Dutiful and Loyal Subjects, the Commons in this preſent Parliament Aſſembled, taking into Conſideration the Great and Neceſſary Expences Your Majeſty will ſuſtain in the Proſecution of the War, wherein Your Majeſty is now Engaged, did at their firſt Meeting in this preſent Seſſion, unanimouſly Agree to Preſent Your Majeſty with a Supply of Two Millions; the greateſt part of which they reſolved to Charge upon their Lands, as the moſt ſpeedy and effectual Way of Raiſing preſent money for this Occaſion. But finding that great Abuſes had been com mitted in Aſſeſſing the late Supply of the like Nature, they have endeavoured to Provide againſt thoſe Abuſes in raiſing of this preſent Tax; the Conſideration whereof hath taken up much of their Time, and produced a Bill of an unuſual length, which I now offer to your Majeſties Gracious Acceptance:

They have likewiſe Agreed upon a Bill for Declaring of their Rights and Liberties, which were ſo notoriouſly Violated in the late Reign, humbly deſiring Your Majeſty to give Life to it by the Royal Aſſent, that ſo it may remain not only a Security to them from the like Attempts hereafter, but be a laſting Monument to all Poſterity, of what they owe to Your Majeſty for their Deliverance.

EDINBƲRGH,
