Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. 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 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).

JOHN CAUDEN Late LORD BISHOP of WORCESTER ; Who Deceased on Friday , September 19 th . 1662. in Worcester . NOw Deaths Decrees seem'd to be out of date ; But mark the spleen of Vnregarded Fate ; No Learned Funerall had infam'd the Year , Nor was the State yet pensiv'd with a Tear , The throng of Coarses bid us only see And Transiently view Mortality ; But this most sorrowed Herse commands us Weep , And sumd-up Grief as His Memoriall keep , And in the swollen Confluents of our Eyes , Loves Universall Tribute to Comprize . Here shall the different Opinions meet , And their divided streams each other greet : Here shall the Murmuring Floods in Grief Conform , And their sad passions raise without a storm : While to the Ocean of his Fame they run , Not minding whence their Rivulets begun ; For in this Ceremony all Unite , And joyne Devotions in his Funerall Rite : Mixing their Sighs and Prayers in concent , And tax the Parcae not the Parliament . But let us parentate who know to mourn The Churches sorrow in this Prelates Urn. And is our Father , our Restorer dead ? who 'l Peace begin , or mediate in his stead ? On whose blest Lips 3 Gasping Realms did wait : And from his Oracle did receive their Fate ; He hath resign'd the Life he onely breath'd The Vse to us was long before bequeath'd . He that the Perplext discords of our peace , With his Harmonious Unison did cease ; He that the Gangreen of the State did cure , First made it willing , able then t' endure ; Open'd the Splendour of the Dawning day , And like the Baptist first prepar'd the way : Him Orpheus , Galen , Prayers could not save , Nor free the Captive from the Conquering Grave : Time was Obliged ; 't was in vain to sue , Blest Restitution , thy First Fruits were Due . For th' heavenly powers when they held their hand And crost their Arms at Rebels bold command ; ( When the Defencelesse Sword had lost it's Edge , Against that scaly Monster Priviledge ; When its continuall Renascent strength , Gainst single Loyalty prevail'd at length ; ) Proud with this Champion did the HOST defie , ( Conviction's greater far then Victory ) And having prov'd him to the wisht event , Withdrew the Hero to his Heavenly Tent. Adieu great Chrysostome , our Danaan showrs , Shall ever water thy Sepulchrall flowr's , So Heaven PLANTS thee in a Diocesse , By thy TRANSLATION to eternall Blisse . JAMES HEATH .
