         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
           reason
           ,
           they
           ground
           this
           opinion
           upon
           ,
           is
           taken
           from
           that
           Aristotelian
           principle
           ,
           
             Honor

             .
          
           And
           therefore
           the
           honour
           (
           say
           they
           )
           and
           Submission
           ,
           which
           Kings
           receive
           ,
           is
           originally
           in
           the
           
           people
           .
           And
           therefore
           they
           think
           it
           not
           reasonable
           ,
           that
           the
           people
           should
           be
           obliged
           to
           give
           obedience
           and
           yield
           honour
           to
           any
           person
           but
           him
           whom
           they
           think
           and
           judge
           worthy
           of
           it
           ,
           and
           so
           manifest
           their
           Judgement
           of
           his
           worth
           ,
           by
           their
           Election
           of
           him
           to
           be
           their
           King
           and
           Soveraign

           which
           were
           false
           ,
           if
           it

           Now
           from
           these
           grounds
           they
           deduce
           two
           damnable

           1.
           
           That
           though
           the
           King
           be
           
             Major

           and
           therefore
           that
           is
           no
           Rebellion
           ,
           but
           duty
           in
           the
           people
           ,
           to
           resist
           and
           oppose
           the

           him
           ,
           where
           the
           people
           judge
           it
           necessary
           in
           relation
           to
           the
           defence
           of
           their
           own
           safety
           .
        
         
           2.
           
           That
           the
           King
           doth
           receive
           and
           enjoy
           this
           honour
           onely
           by

           people
           .
           And
           therefore
           if
           the
           King
           do
           violate
           this
           Covenant

           to
           be
           Judges

           that
           then
           the

           are
           absolved
           from
           their
           Allegiance
           grounded
           upon

           thereof
           ,
           and
           to
           those
           damnable
           and
           execrable
           inferences
           grounded
           thereupon
           ;
           we

           mentioned
           in

           where
           God
           did

           Because
           the
           King

           not
           their
           Deputy

           man

           accompt
           to
           him

           his

           constitute
           and
           depute
           him

           question
           him

           any
           act

           either
           by
           Petition

           that
           Judge

           else
           by
           their
           addresses

           not
           the

           any
           Power

           And

           then
           to

           ,
           as
           Samuel
           declares
           when
           he
           Prophesieth

           ,
           the
           Prophet
           Samuel
           did
           not
           dream
           of

           nor
           could
           prescribe

           the

           or
           some
           Covetous
           Design

           that
           Officer
           is
           guilty
           of
           Murther
           ,
           although

           And
           thus
           much
           (
           I
           hope

           sufficiently
           declares
           the

           vanity
           of
