Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).

A TRUE COPY OF THE OATHS That are appointed by Act of Parliament, made in the Firſt Year of Their preſent Majeſties Reign; to be Taken inſtead of the Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance, and the Declaration appointed to be made, Repeated and Subſcribed

I A. B. do ſincerely Promiſe and Swear, That I will be Faithful, and bear true Allegiance to Their Majeſties, King WILLIAM and Queen MARY.

So help me God, &c.

I A. B. do Swear, That I do from my Heart Abhor, Deteſt, and Abjure, as Impious and Heretical, that Damnable Doctrine and Poſition, That Princes Excommunicated or Deprived by the Pope, or any Authority of the See of Rome, may be Depoſed or Murthered by their Subjects, or any other whatſoever.

And I do Declare, That no Foreign Prince, Perſon, Prelate, State, or Potentate, hath, or ought to have any Juriſdiction, Power, Superiority, Preeminence, or Authority Eccleſiaſtical or Spiritual within this Realm.

So help me God, &c.

I A. B. do ſolemnly and ſincerely in the preſence of God, profeſs, testifie and declare, that I do believe that in the Sacrament of the Lords Supper, there is not any Tranſubſtantiation of the Elements of Bread and Wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, at or after the Conſecration thereof, by any perſon whatſoever, and that the Invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary or any other Saint, and the ſacrifice of the Maſs as they are now uſed in the Church of Rome, are Superstitious and Idolatrous. And I do ſolemnly in the preſence of God, profeſs, testifie and declare, that I do make this Declaration and every part thereof in the plain and ordinary ſence of the words read unto me, as they are commonly understood by Engliſh Proteſtants, without any Evaſion, Equivocation or mental Reſervation whatſoever, and without any Diſpenſation already granted me for this purpoſe by the Pope, or any Authority or Perſon whatſoever, or without any hope of any ſuch Diſpenſation from any Perſon or Authority whatſoever, or without thinking that I am or can be acquitted, before God or Man, or abſolved of this Declaration or any part thereof, although the Pope or any other Perſon or Perſons or Power whatſoever ſhould diſpence with, or annul the ſame or declare that it was null and void from the beginning.
