GOd hath this day rewarded our weariſome Marches with a full and glorious Victory over and Enemy who had uſed much ſubtilty and diligence to engage the Kingdome in a new War; they had increaſed to a great number by the addition of divers diſbanded men from England, and a generall conjunction of moſt of able bodied Inhabitants of the Counties of Pembrook, Cvrmarthen, and Cardigan, and many of Glamorgan. This day about nine of the Clocke it pleaſed God that wee ingaged with them at a place called Saint Fagons, three miles diſtant from Cardiffe, and for neare two hours had a very hot diſpute, but at length by Gods mercy they were put to a totall rout, many ſlaine upon the place, and about three thouſand Priſoners, great ſtore of Armes and Ammunition, and many Coulours; The Enemy accounted themſelves eight thouſand Horſe and Foot, which makes the mercy more remarkable.
My Lord, The Almighty was pleaſed5 greatly to ſtrengthen both our Officers and Souldiers, in the diſcharge of their duties with much reſolution and cheerfulneſſe, but with one heart they deſire, that the honour of this worke may bee wholly given to God. This account I held my ſelf bound to preſent your Lordſhips with, to bee communicated to the Right Honourable the Houſe of Peeres, being

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.
