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 Copy of a Letter from Carnarvan of the ſurrender of the Caſtle, &c. to Major-Gen: Mitton, agreed to by Commiſsioners on both ſides. SIR,

IN my laſt I advertiſed you of our Agreement to capitulate with the Lord Byron for the ſurrender of Carnarven, and ſix Commiſſioners were choſen, three for Major-Generall Mitton, and three for the L. Byron, his Lordſhip ſent out Col. Edward Vere, Colonel Iohn Vane, and Lieutenant Col. Iohn Diſney, and on our ſide were choſen Col. Thomas Glyn, Col. Iohn Carter, and Serjeant-Major Hierome Zankey, who have effected the work, ſo that Carnarven is agreed to bee ſurrendred to us, agreed by both parties upon this treatie, and by each ſigned. I have here incloſed ſent you the Copy of the Articles whereupon it is to be ſurrendred, which I hope will give very good ſatisfaction, and content to the State. I am ſure it is a very conſiderable ſervice; it being a place of great ſtrength and of great uſe; And we are now to fall upon other deſignes for the reducing of theſe parts to the obedience of the Parliament, but I muſt tell you they are here for matter of Religion a moſt ignorant, and brutiſh people; who know very little of God; and it is heartily to be wiſhed that ſome honeſt and godly painfull Miniſters would come to preach the Goſpell to them, Indeede there are ſome Prelates, and prelaticall Clergy in Carnerven very malignant, and ſuch as the people are like to profit but little by; except they will ſtudy to preach Ieſus Chriſt more then for ought I can here they have done but the Country Townes here abouts have been quite without all manner of preaching almoſt, but bleſſed be God we are in a faire way to reduce, theſe parts to the obedience of the Parliament, (who I doubt not) will take care to ſend a powerfull miniſtry ſo ſoone as North-wales is totally reduced, I hope that (very ſhortly) you will here good newes, from Angleſay which is the place of the greateſt conſequence (in all theſe parts, this that we have taken in being very conſiderable alſo) Benmorris being a place that hath bin of great uſe to the King; I hope it will now be ſodainly in our hands, which is of great conſequence; becauſe of the conveniency of bringing in of divers forraigne forces thither as hath been often done to ſerve the King againſt the Parliament and Kingdome. I truſt in the Lord that now God will be pleaſed to put an end to all the troubles of theſe parts; that we may meete in peace. The King hath now no more Gariſons mentained by his party againſt us in all North-wales ſave only 5. and all of them either are or will be beſiged (if not part of thdm ſurrend •• d) w • th 〈◊〉 dayes. Indeede ſome of them it may be will prove 〈◊◊〉 be reduced, and may hold out long, our Major Generall, Major Generall Mytton is very active, even to be admired in the haſtning to make an end of the worke, Collonel Glyne doth us ſervice ſince he joyned with us, and truly Col. Carter, is a very pritty Gentleman, and full of action; the Country are no little glad of the hopes they have to enjoy what they have in peace; which is in a good way for them, there are in Carnarven (with the Lord Byron) many gentlemen of quality, moſt of the cheif of thoſe Officers that came from Cheſter, ſome Biſhops, and divers malignant Clergy, the works are exceeding good and reguler, high works and thick, and deepe motes, I can not give you the certaine number of the Ordnance, Armes, Ammunition, and proviſions, till we be poſſeſt of the Caſtle, but after we have taken a note of them I will ſend you a liſt by the firſt opportunity: but thus much I can aſſure you that they were ſo ſtrongly fortified that they little thought that Carnerven would ſo ſoone have bin in our hands when Byron went thither; but bleſſed be-God this work is not put out of queſtion, and by the next I believe you will hear ſomthing both of Angleſey and Flint Caſtle, but this is all at preſent from.
