         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).

           which
           becomes
           absolute
           when
           the
           condition
           is
           performed

           all
           thy
           supposed
           Righteousness
           is
           but
           Vanity
           and
           sin
           ,
           and
           that
           thou
           art

           the
           least
           satisfaction
           to
           the

           not
           wash
           thee
           ,
           and

           Righteousness
           justify
           thee
           ,
           thou
           must
           certainly
           be
           damned
           yet
           and

           thy
           everlasting
           state
           upon
           him

           trust
           him
           with
           thy
           Soul
           ,
           and

           thou
           so

           let
           all
           go
           here

             His

             born
             the

           Me
           thinks
           you
           should
           rather
           wonder

           ever
           Christ

           These
           following
           considerations
           are
           drawn
           from
           the
           aggravation
           of
           the
           punishment
           ,
           and
           all
           from

           1.
           
           God
           will
           be
           angry
           if
           you
           kiss
           not
           his
           Son
           ,
           his
           wrath
           is
           as
           a
           fire
           ,
           and
           this
           neglect
           of
           Christ
           is
           the
           way
           to
           kindle
           it
           ,
           if
           thou
           art
           not
           a
           beleiver
           thou
           art
           condemned
           already
           ,
           but
           this
           will
           bring
           upon
           thee
           a
           double
           condemnation
           :
           oh
           what
           will
           the
           Father
           say
           to
           such
           unworthy
           wretches
           ;
           must
           I
           send
           my
           Son
           from
           my
           bosome
           to
           suffer
           for
           thee
           ,
           must
           he
           groan
           and
           bleed
           ,
           when
           thou
           shouldst
           bleed
           ,
           and
           dye
           when
           thou
           shouldst
           dye
           ,
           and
           canst
           thou
           not
           be
           perswaded
           to
           imbrace
           and
           obey
           him
           ,
           must
           he
           have
           the
           naked
           title
           of
           thy
           Lord
           and
           Saviour
           ,
           while
           the
           fleshly
           pleasures
           and
           profits
           
           have
           thy
           heart
           ;
           what
           wrath
