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 MANNER OF Apprehending of Oneale, the Arch-Rebell of Ireland, and Colonell Brunſlow; expreſſed in a Letter to the Biſhop of ARMAGH. Right Reverend and beloved Father in God;

THave thought good, after a great deale of Intelligence of our miſeries, to preſent one Cordiall, being the onely hopes of our happy enſuing fortunes, and the generall progredient of the Rebells overthrow, whoſe cancred ſpleene is turned into as much feare of the iuſt vengeance of the Almightie, for their inſulting pride and bloudy maſſacring of his people. I will abreviate my deſcription as much as I may, and thus begin:

At Grahayne and Burderdah, being two ſmall Villages upon the Plaine, adjoyning to the Forreſt of Morpetenter, in the County of Munſter, Oncale with his following Regiments having been diſperſed by the Scots in the laſt Battle repaired thither, in reſpect of the conveniency of the place for Skirmiſh, as alſo the neerneſſe of the Wood for a preſent Refuge. Intelligence being given to Sir Simon Harcourt of their abode, and knowing they muſt of neceſſitie be unprovided, by reaſon of their ſo late flight; He put forward with five thouſand men, whom he diſpoſed of (after his arrivall) in manner following.

Firſt, He placed 〈◊◊◊◊◊◊〉 Forreſt, to hinder their ſight 〈◊◊◊◊〉 hundred of his beſt men, well horſt, to ranſacke in the vallyes, thereby to procure the Iriſh to follow them; with the reſidue he reſolved to give an unexpected onſet upon the Enemy. This plott accordingly prevailed; for they no ſooner perceived the Horſemen, but they forthwith ſent eight hundred of their beſt men, well provided after them; our men ſeeming to flye, whileſt they followed; Oneale with the reſidue of his men, all out of order, ſtood beholding of this delightfull proſpect, hooting and making ſuch a clamour, that our men came upon them unawares, ſlaying many, ſome being taken priſoners, amongſt the reſt Oneale and Brunſlow, with divers of their Officers, and thoſe that fled, being many ſlaine by, the Amhuſh. Much joy wee have with us at this great overthrow. Oneale and Brunſlow are now priſoners in Dublin; and our comfort is much increaſed. Thus having given you the true Relation of this Novell; Deſiring your prayers for us as we for you, I reſt

Yours in all humilitie, ED VVARD BOND.
Certain News from the Coaſts of BARBARIE.

AMbroſius Christopher an expert Mariner, and well skilled in Sea▪ fights, ſetting ſail the 28, day of February for the Iſles of the Ganaries, about nine of the clock in the morning, after that they had ſailed three dayes with a very proſperous gaile, and were not far now from their wiſhed Harbour, deſcried not above a League before them a little Galley, which ſeeing the Engliſh colours waving upon the topmaſts, preſently endeavoured with all her Oares to ſecure her ſelf by flight. The maſter of the ſhip having no evill intention, yet ſeeing a ſhip flee before ſhe was chaſed, could not but wonder what the matter ſhould be; and as the common Proverbe is, A flier muſt needs have a follower: he left off his own neceſſarie journie, and preſently hoyſing up all his ſails made after her, but ſhe going a great deal more ſwiftly than he, by reaſon that the ſhip had onely a ſide winde, and that not ſtrong enough neither, he was forc'd to ſend a ſwifter meſſenger after her: ſo diſcharging two Peeces from the chaſe, he had ſo good fortune that one took away a great peece of her ſterne, the other did break her orelap preſently. She after ſuch a ſhrowd meſſage let down her Ancher and ſtaied ſtill. So the Maſter of the ſhip preſently ſent out his long boat for her well manned, and brought her up; being asked from whence they came, and whither they were bound, anſwered that they came from Ireland, and were going for Spaine. Being askt by whoſe inſtigation they fled, ſhewed the Captain of the ſhip: The maſter asking him the reaſon why he had cauſed the Galley to flie two or three times, he would anſwer nothing, being as it ſeems ſworn to the Rebels to do their buſineſſe faithfully: But being threatned with the Rack if he would not confeſſe, at laſt he told that he had Letters from the Earl of Tyron, to the King and Peers of Spaine: the Maſter preſently deſired to ſee them, but he drawing them out of his pocket, would have thrown them into the Sea, had not they ſtruck againſt one of the ropes, and fallen back again into the ſhip, he thinking them irrecoverable if they fell into the Sea. When the ſhip was now under ſail, the Maſter taking them up, and reading them found this to be the ſuperſcription.

The united Lords of Ireland to the King and Peers of Spaine, with all health.

The Copie of the Letter.

MOſt excellent Prince, and you Nobles of the Kingdom of Spaine, you know very well what a hard task we have in hand, having undertaken to wreſt the Kingdom of Ireland out of the hands of the Engliſhmen, who for many yeers have kept it very ſtrongly: neither are ye ignorant (unleſſe all our Letters have been intercepted, what good ſucceſſe our proceedings have had hitherto; having almoſt opened to you an entrie to that Kingdom, which heretofore hath ſo ſtrongly oppoſed, and having made free paſſage for any of your Forces into Ireland, our name alſo becoming terrible not here onely, but alſo in England. It doth concern you many wayes to aid us in this enterpriſe, and to have no leſſe hand in it than we: it being firſt for the Religion that we fight; next for a Kingdom, if it ſhall pleaſe you onely to take it, or help us in taking of it. We after it is overcome deſiring nothing more than to be ſubject to the King of Spaine, and to enjoy our lands, which by the tyrannie of the Engliſh men are ſnatcht out of our hands. We therefore lacking nothing but Ammunition and victualling, for we have abundance of men, and more then we can furniſh with Armes, inſomuch that when we receive an overthrow, we are a great deal more ſorie for our loſſe of Arms than of men. Next may it pleaſe you to ſend us ſome proviſion of Corn, and Beans, and Peaſe, for our Souldiers; for we have abundance here of Beeves and Mutton. So expecting help, and ever ſtill praying for your Majeſties and your Kingdoms happineſſe, I reſt

From before Dublin at our Camp, Febr. 26. Yours to command, John Tyron.
The apprehenſion of Don Pedro De's Ʋaldres.

NO ſooner had the King of Spaine received intelligence from Ireland, but immediately he diſpatches from his Court one Don Pedro des Valdres, a man verie famous not long ſince in Germanie and elſewhere, with Letters to ſtrengthen the hope of the Rebels, and to promiſe them aid. But mark alſo how he was apprehended, for coming from Caſtile in a tall ſhip, he was encountred by a ſhip of Ipſwich, being not above 200. in burden. This Don Pedro being a hot fellow, and a continuall Enemie to the Engliſh Nation, as he hath ſhewed himſelf in many places before, would needs the one bout with her: the maſter of the ſhip being a man of a good ſpirit, did not refuſe to hazard his ſhip and himſelf for the honour of his Countrey. In which action he behaved himſelf ſo bravely, that he took the ſhip and Don Pedro in it, being dangerouſly wounded: He had about him Letters of great conſequence. Don Pedro died of his wound not long after. The reſt that were in the ſhip are carried to Ipſwich, to ſtay there whileſt they hear from the Parliament.
