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 Queenes moſt excellent Maieſtie, foreſeeing that in ſuch reſort and concourſe of people as commonly at the repaire of great Ambaſſadours into this her Highneſſe Realme from forreine Princes is vſually wont to be, there may ſome diſorder fal out amongſt the inferiour and meaner ſort, which beſide the inconueniences likely to enſue thereby, might turne greatly to the diſhonour of her Maieſtie, a matter whereof her louing Subiects ought to haue great regarde, eſpecially at this time of the repaire of ſo honourable perſonages hither, as the like in ſuch nombers hath not of long time bene ſent vnto any of her predeceſſors from any forreine Prince or Potentate: Doeth therefore by this her Highneſſe Proclamation charge and commaund that no perſon or perſons, during the time of the continuance of the ſaid Ambaſſadors & their retinue, within this her Maieſties Realme, preſume, after the publication of this preſent Proclamation, to offer violence by drawing of any weapon, or to ſtrike, hurt or moue quatels to any perſon of what Nation ſoeuer he be, vpon paine of death to be inflicted vpon any perſon ſo offending, as a prouiſion needefull to be at ſuch a time excuted againſt manifeſt breakers of peace, to the diſhonour of her Maieſtie, and her Realme. And for her Maieſtie reputeth and taketh the ſending of ſo Honourable perſonages and in ſo great a nomber vnto her from her good brother the French King, as a ſingular teſtimony of the princely good will and affection he beareth to her, and accordingly is deſirous to make it appeare to the world by all the beſt effects and demonſtrations of like good will and affection ſhe can, how greatly ſhe accepteth thereof, and thinketh hee ſelfe honoured thereby, doth further looke that her louing Subiects of all ſorts, ſhall not onley cary themſelues in that orderly and quiet ſort, during the time of the abode of the ſaid Honourable perſonages and Ambaſſadours here, as no diſorder or quarell may fall out, But alſo that all Lords and Maſters hauing company of ſeruants attending vpon them, will ſo direct their companies to obſerue the peace at this time, not onely towards all ſtrangers, but alſo all others their owne Countrymen, her Maieſties Subiects: So as on no part by any meanes her Maieſties peace be broken during the abode of the ſaid Ambaſſadours here. Whereby they ſhal giue a good demonſtration and teſtimonie not onely of their loyall deuotion to her Maieſtie, and the care they haue to doe her that honour, by all poſſible meanes they can (as in duety to them apperteyneth) but alſo miniſter vnto the ſaid Honourable perſonages and ſtrangers and their traines, a iuſt occaſion to make good report of the good and peaceable gouernment vnder her Maieſtie, and of the obedience which her Subiects doe beare her Maieſtie, and alſo of the friendly vſage and enterteinment they haue receiued here greatly to her Maieſties honour, and the honour of the Realme.

Giuen at her Maieſties Mannour of S. Iames the xviii. day of Aprill, 1581. in the three and twentieth yere of her Highneſſe reigne. God ſaue the Queene.
