         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).

           so
           they
           cannot
           for
           the

           much
           profit
           ,
           although
           it
           hath
           bene
           inhabited
           a
           long
           time
           .
        
         
           The
           consideration
           whereof
           satisfied
           me
           with
           the
           impossibilitie
           of
           planting
           a
           Mānor
           vnder
           the
           protection
           of
           any
           strong
           built
           
           Castle
           ;
           but
           after
           that
           I
           had
           trauailed
           amōgst
           the
           meere
           Irish
           ,
           and
           had
           sufficiently
           informed
           my selfe
           with
           their
           conditions
           ,
           their
           nature
           ,
           and
           manner
           of
           life
           ,
           I
           found
           it
           most
           certainely
           impossible
           by
           such
           kinde
           of
           plantation
           to
           improue
           any
           thing
           with
           security
           ,
           to
           any
           great
           profit
           ,
           neither
           any
           with
           whome
           I
           conferred
           ,
           would
           or
           could
           set
           downe
           how
           with
           security
           any

           might
           be
           vndertaken
           .
        
         
           Therefore
           the
           principall
           studd
           of
           this
           frame
           must
           be
           wrought
           with

           mencioned
           .
        
         
           I
           acknowledge
           and
           see
           it
           sufficiently
           ,
           that
           many
           Castles
           and

           well
           fortified
           ,
           doth
           and
           wil
           restraine
           the
           violence
           of
           such
           a

           being
           at

           but
           I

           Fortes
           more

           of

           and

           are
           inforced
           to

           Therefore
           in
           this
           our

           let
           all
           the
           people
           be
           such
           as
           shall

           of

           and
           if
           they
           were
           such
           as
           had
           no
           other
           estate
           then
           there
           ,
           it
           were
           the
           better
           .
        
         
           But
           I
           feare
           ,
           if
           many
           shall
           peruse
           this
           recital
           ,
           most
           of
           them
           wil
           be
           vtterly
           deterred
           with
           the
           charge
           ,
           saying
           ,
           it
           is
           easie
           to
           be
           spoken
           ,
           but
           to
           their
           capacitie
           very
           difficult
           to
           be
           performed
           ,
           and
           so
           they
           will
           withdrawe
           themselues
           &
           their
           conceits
           from
           imbracing
           that
           which
           I
           would
           haue
           them
           entertaine
           cherefully
           in
           the
           best
           fashion
           .
           Therefore
           I
           doe
           incite
           them
           to
           consider
           ,
           that
           all
           those
           great
           and
           sumptuous
           buildings
           which
           former
           ages
           haue
           left
           vnto
           euerlasting

           not
           erected
           any
           where
           ,
           where
           continuance
           of
           peace
           had
           improued
           all
           thinges
           to
           a
           high
           rate
           and
           great
           price
           ,
           but
           the
           originall
           of
           all
           nations
           ,
           was
           where
           and
           when
           the
           Lands

           were
           of

           worth

           To

           the
