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.

〈2 lines〉 • church is that 〈◊〉 ſtone 〈◊〉 al filth and ſtinch doth ſmel very ſtrong. The Angel therefore cryeth to old and yong, Saying: come away frō her my people ſpedely, Leaſt ye be partakers of the beaſtes iniquity. For this is euen ſhe, whych wt her fornication, Hath made almoſt all princes commit adultery, And eke hath made thē dronke wt her ſuperſtition Wherby ſhe hath got vp to great authority. The blood of gods ſaints, ſhe dranke plentifully. Therfore as vengeāce to you ſhe hath ſhewed, Double to her againe let the ſame be repayed. Pul down her ſhop of wares, wherbi ſhe hath got Al the treaſures on earth, and ruled the ſame, Both Emperours & Kings this beaſt ſpared not, But placed and diſplaced, as pleaſed thys Dame. Therfore ſhal God now deſcry her whole ſhame, And eke pul down her ſhop of marchandiſe, With al her marchants, which therby did riſe. Wherfore O ye Marchants of ye Romiſh Babell, Weepe, howle, and wyle, for neare is your fall, The blood of Gods ſaintes for vengeāce crieth fel And God now in wrath on you poure it ſhall. Come away form her therfore Gods people all, Leaſt ye be partakers of her plagues and euyll And ſo in fire & brimſton be burnt wt the deuyl. 〈2 lines〉 Emprors & Kings with many a great kingdom • . Entend to deſtroy vs, and haue no remorce. Behold here our ſhop which enriched our purſe, How it to ruine begynneth to fall. For ye top thei haue brokē, & down thei wil haue all. Our pardōs & relickes which was our beginning Is nought now regarded, and found all but lyes, Our maſſes & dirgies which kept vs aloft raining Are now not beleued, but al folke them deſpiſe. The Lutherans at theſe did firſt enterpriſe, And at thē ſo pulled, yt the top they haue broken Of our hie ſteple, which the ſame doth betoken And now ye Hugonites, wt the Beggers together, With al force they may are pulling at the reſt, Which is our authority, and puniſhment ſeuere, And eke our ſtout ruling from Eaſt vnto Weſt. Thus al theſe three at our church before preſt, To ſhew their great power in pulling it down Which out out alas, wyll be done to to ſoone. Wherfore O romiſh Babilō, we now the bemone And alſo our own ſelues which liued by thee.
