To the Right Honourable THE LORD MAYOR AT THE ANNIVERSARY ENTERTAINMENT IN GUILDHALL.

THE wise Appllo Laugheth once a year;

So the resembling mortal Gods do here

Deign to be jolly, and Triumph together,

Over their Cares, and over Romes soul weather.

As you (much Honoured Sir) Ascend the Chair,

The Heavens so kind and so Propitious are.

Redeem'd Religion happily supplies

Fresh Comfort to your former solemn Joys.

Let Popery dasht it sound sweeter in your ear

Than the sweet pleasing melody you hear.

And Hearts as with good wine be chear'd and warm'd

With the good news His Majesty not harm'd;

But this ought to allay your Joys Excess,

His Martyr'd Friend falls by the merciless.

Now Exit Babylon's Transubstantiation,

Infernal Plots and Hell Assassination;

Those Egypt Frogs no more Infest or Croak

Within the shadow of the Royal Oak.

(Avant Prodigious, Protean, Papal-State.)

Avant the curst Raviliack Transmigrate.

The noise of Blood, The noise of Bankrupts cease,

The Nations Wealth, the Nations Fame increase.

This so bright dawning Providential Ray

Sweetly Presageth Sun-shine Halcyon day.

And you my Lord, within your Lower Sphere

Are a good Omen. Happy be your year.

On Sir Edmondbury Godfrey.

Such is mans Life and Fickle state,

Consum'd with Care, expos'd to Hate,

Rent by variety of Fate,

(At most but of a moments Date)

So here in this great Herse we see,

The best of Mortals, what they be.

The wise and good worst harms molest,

The more of worth, the less of rest.

As in a storm the Cedars fall,

And shrubs survive their Funeral.

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).
