         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).

                 should
                 have
                 been
                 much
                 troubled

                 did
                 I
                 not
                 confidently
                 hope
                 that
                 his
                 Lordship

                 For
                 besides
                 that
                 't

                 'T
                 is
                 particularly
                 proper
                 for
                 my
                 Lord
                 to

                 and
                 to
                 carry
                 off
                 the
                 surcharge
                 of
                 the

                 which
                 must
                 be
                 done
                 gently
                 and

                 Therefore

                 yet
                 it
                 must

                 see
                 reason
                 .
                 You
                 know
                 that
                 a
                 copious
                 evacuation
                 of
                 matter
                 ,
                 though
                 peccant
                 ,
                 in
                 some
                 bodies
                 will
                 cause
                 great
                 disorder
                 for
                 the
                 present
                 ,
                 and
                 sometimes
                 occasion

                 therefore
                 the
                 Pill

                 that
                 my
                 Lord

                 Mr.
                 Cook
                 ,
                 because
                 I
                 know

                 more
                 effectual
                 with
                 the

           also
           manifest

           that

           more
           or
           less
           copious
           ,
           according
           to
           the
           Constitution
           of
           the

           The
           Effects

           are
           particularly
           evinced
           by
           this
           Observation
           of
           the
           Laundresses
           in
           
             Bath

             That
             those
             which
             drink
             the
             said
             Waters
             ,
             do
             foul
             their

           I
           doubt
           not
           ,
           but
           that
           others

           may
           have
           observed

           several
           Hypochondriacal
           Persons

             another
             Operation
          
           in
           those

           viz.
           That
           upon
           drinking

             Spittle
             attenuated

           The
           like

           it
           to
           be
           supposed
           ,
           that
           these
           Waters
           discharge
           themselves
           purely
