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 Royal Victory,

Obtained (with the providence of Almighty God) againſt the Dutch-Fleet, Iune the 2d. and 3d. 1665. a Fight as bloody (for the time and number) as ever was performed upon the Narrow-Seas, giving a particular Account of 17. Men of Warr taken, 14 Sunk and Fir'd: But 40. that could eſcape of their whole Fleet, wh • ch at this time are hotly perſued by the Earl of Sandwitch. Their Admiral Opdam ſlain by the Duke of Yorkes own Frigat. Van Trump Sunk by Captain Holmes, with the gallant deportment of Prince Rupert, Capt. Minns and Capt. Smith. All the Seven Dutch Admiralls (but Iohn Evertſon) killed. On our ſide, onely one ſingle Ship (the Charity) loſt; Sir Iohn Lawſon received a ſlight hurt in the knee, the Lord Marlborough, the Lord of Portland, the Lord of Falmouth, the Lord of Muskerry, Mr. Boyle (the Earl of Corks Son) Captain Athelton of the Guiny, Captain Kirby of the Breda, and Rear Admiral Sanſon were ſlain, and about 383 Seamen and Souldiers. The number of the Dutch that were kill'd amounts to 10000, and 2200 Priſoners which we have taken.

 To the Tune of, Packingtons pound.

LEt England, and Ireland, and Scotland rejoyce, & render thankſgivings wth heart & wth voice That ſurley Fanatick that now will not ſing, As falſe to the Kingdom, and Foe to the King; For he that will grutch, Our Fortune is ſuch, doth deal for the Devil, as well as the Dutch, For why ſhould my nature, or conſcience repine At taking of his life, that fain would have mine So high a Victory we could not command, Had it not béen gain'd by an Almighty hand, The great Lord of Battels did perfect this work For God & the King, and the good Duke of York, Whoſe Courage was ſuch, Againſt the Low-Dutch, that vapour'd & ſwager'd, like Lords in a hutch, But let the bold Hollanders burn ſink or ſwim, They have honour enough to be beaten by him, Fire, aire, earth & water, it ſéemes were imploy'd To ſtrive for the Conqueſt, wch we have injoy'd, No honour or profit, or ſafety can ſpring, To thoſe that do fight againſt God & the King▪ The Battel was hot, And bloudily Fought, the Fire was like Rain, & like Hail was ye Shot, For in this Ingagement ten thouſand did bléed Of Flemmings, who now are ye Low-Dutch indéed. In this cruel Conflict ſtout Opdam was ſlain By the great Duke of York, & lyes ſunk in ye Main Twas from ye Dukes Frigat that he had his doom • And by the Dukes valour he was overcome; It was his good Fate, To fall at that Rate, who ſink under Princes, are buried in State. Since valour and courage in one grave muſt lye, It is a great honour, by great hands to dye.
The ſecond part, to the ſame Tune. THat daring bold fellow, ye Son of Vantrump, Whoſe brains were beat out by the head of the Rump Ingageing wth brave Capt Holmes, hand to hand, His Ship ſunk to'th' bottom, yet he got to Land, His Fate looked grim. 'Twas well he could ſwim, Elſe he that caught Fiſhes, ye Fiſh had caught him, They eat up our Fiſh without Reaſon or Lawes, But now they are going to pay for the Sauce. To mock at mens miſery is not my aime, It never can add to an Engliſh-mans fame; But I may rejoyce that the Battel is wonn, Becauſe in the victory Gods will is done, Whoſe Iuſtice appears In ſuch great Affairs, who will for Amboina plague them & their Heirs For he that doth combat his conſcience with gilt In ſhedding of blood, his own ſhall be ſpilt. In this cruel Conteſt (our fortune was ſuch) We tooke ſeventéen Men of War from the Dutch. And likewiſe (as then the occaſion requir'd & as God would have it) fourtéen more were fir'd. At Amboina when They Tortur'd our Men, they look'd not to have the ſame paid them agen With fire & with water their Sinews they crackt In fire and in water they dy'd for the Fact. According as our God of Battel commanded The beſt of their Veſſels were Fir'd & Stranded, All ſhips, Men of War; for what power hath man To fight with that Army, where God leads ye Van They Stéere, and the • Stem, But 'twas ſo extream, our men were neer dying, with killing of them; They loſt (when ye muskets & cannon ſo thunder'd Twice ſo many thouſand as we have loſt hundr'd 'Twould make a brave Engliſhmans heart leap to ſéet But forty ſhips made an eſcape of their Fléet Wch our men perſue wth much courage & ſtrenght 'Tis doubtleſs but we ſhall ſurprize them at lenght, If God be our guide, And ſtand by our ſide, we ſhall be be frinded with fair Wind & Tide; If Providence proſper us with a good Gale, The Dutch nor the Devil ſhall ever provaile. Prince Rupert like lightning flew thorrough their Fléet Like flame mixt wth powder, their Army did méet Ten thouſand ſlain bodies the Ocean oreſpread, That in few hours diſtance were living & dead, Their Admirals all, Save one there did fall, and death had command like a chief General, Brabe Smith in the Mary did ſhave out his way As Reapers do Wheat, or as Mowers cut Hay. Stout Lawſon, and Minn, there did both play their parts, who emptied their Guns in their Enemies hearts The burly fat Dutchmen being cut out in Slips, The Veſſels did looke more like Shambles then Ships. God proſper the Fléet, And ſend they may méet Du Ruiter, to make up the Conqueſt compleat, God bleſs all the Princes, and every thing That Fights for ye Kingdom, & prayes for ye King.
