         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).

           these
           things
           ,
           that
           I

           great
           weaknes

           and

           the

           of
           mercy
           and
           grace
           that
           God

           After

           perceiuing

           as
           I
           thought

           her
           eyes

           wax

           and
           her
           spirits
           fainty
           ,
           and
           well
           knowing
           what
           need
           she
           had
           of
           some
           refreshing
           ,
           I
           aduised
           her
           to
           compose
           her self
           vnto
           rest
           ,
           which
           her
           long
           want
           of
           it
           required
           ,
           and
           her
           eyes
           seemed
           to
           incline
           vnto
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           best
           to
           take
           it
           while
           she
           might
           ,
           lest
           she
           should
           after
           ,
           want
           it
           when
           she
           would
           .
           Her
           answer
           was
           that
           this
           was

           that
           which
           she
           found
           best
           refreshing
           &
           sweetest
           repose

           said

           which
           you
           say
           of

           one
           ,
           may
           I
           much
           better
           say

           those
           meanes
           of

           God

           hereafter
           want
           them
           when
           I
           would
           ,
           and
           shall
           neede
           them

           Some
           conflicts
           she
           had
           the
           day
           before
           her
           departure
           ;
           but
           such
           ,
           through
           Gods
           goodnes
           ,
           as
           lasted
           not
           long
           ,
           and
           ended
           in
           that
           comfort
           ,
           that
           continued
           with
           her
           to
           her
           end
           :
           which
           was
           so
           quiet
           and
           peaceable
           .
           that
           her
           departure
           was
           scarce
           sensible
           to
           those
           that
