         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).

             sound
             that
             thou
             accusest
             of
             rottenness
             .
             Nothing
             can
             be
             safe
             that
             thou
             warnest
             me
             against
             !
             I
             have
             found
             the
             ways
             of
             sin
             false
             indeed
             ;
             false
             as
             Hell.
             When
             I
             have
             thought
             to
             step
             into
             the
             bed
             of
             pleasure
             ,
             I
             have
             rush'd
             into
             a
             Gulph
             of
             misery
             .
             When
             I
             have
             hoped
             to
             fill
             my self
             with
             content
             and
             satisfaction
             ,
             
             I
             have
             run
             into
             Briars
             and
             Thorns
             ,
             and
             filled
             my
             Heart
             with
             heaviness
             ,
             and
             I
             find
             I
             have
             been
             flattered
             into
             ruine
             .
             O
             let
             me
             dread

             very
             appearance
             of
             evil
             ,
             and
             be

             Jesus
             Christ

             O
             Thou
             whose
             Eyes
             are
             like
             flames
             of
             fire
             ,
             and
             whose
             Feet
             like
             Brass
             glowing
             in
             a
             Furnace

             who
             art
             brighter
             than
             the
             Sun
             ,
             &
             clearer
             than
             the
             Stars
             ,
             whose
             eyes
             run

             through
             the
             world
             to
             shew
             thy self
             strong
             in
             the
             behalf
             of
             those
             whose
             Heart
             is
             upright

             I
             have
             deserved
             that
             no
             eye
             should
             
             pity
             me
             ,
             because
             I
             have
             not
             used
             my
             sight
             with

             and
             Piety
             thou
             justly
             requirest
             of
             me
             .
             I
             have
             had
             Eyes
             ,
             and
             have
             not
             seen
             those
             things
             I
             should
             have
             taken
             notice
             of
             :
             it
             were
             just
             with
             thee
             to
             strike
             me
             blind
             ,
             and
             to
             deprive
             me
             of
             that
             mercy
             which
             I
             have
             so
             often
             turned
             into
             wantonness
             !
             I
             have
             stared
             upon
             objects
             that
             have
             inflamed
             my
             Lusts
             ,
             irritated
             my
             Passions
             ,
             and
             kindled
             Hell

             in
             my
             Breast

             me
             perish
             by
             their
             fury

             I
             can
             plead

             They
             have
             lost
             their
             force
             and
             power
             ,

             a
             poor
             Christian

             even
             Devils
             tremble
             .
             O
             let
             the
             world

             of
             Affliction

             when
             my
             Lord
