         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).

             that
             they

             more
             a
             people

             of
             Israel
             may

             no
             more
             in
             remembrance
             :
          
           when
           they
           were
           grown
           so
           insolent
           as
           to
           boast
           their
           own
           strength
           ,
           and
           despise
           their
           Adversaries
           as
           weak
           ;
           when
           they
           spoke
           disdainfully
           ,
           and
           blasphemed
           the
           Name
           of
           the
           Holy
           One
           of
           Israel
           ;
           then
           it
           was
           that
           the
           mightiest
           of
           them
           were
           slain
           ;
           then
           it
           was
           that
           the
           destroying
           Plagues
           were
           inflicted
           on
           them
           .
           Thus
           Moses
           represents
           Pharaoh
           proudly
           boasting
           in
           the
           15th
           Chapter
           of

             divide
             the

             my
             lust
             shall
             be
             satisfied
             upon

             I
             will
             draw
             my
             sword
             ,
             my
             hand
             shall
             destroy
             them

           The
           Children

           at
           the
           sight
           of
           Pharaoh
           and
           his
           Host
           marching
           after
           them
           ,
           were
           sore
           afraid
           ,
           and
           began
           to
           expostulate
           with
           Moses
           ,
           saying
           ,
           
             Because
             there

             hast
             thou

           men

           Adversaries

           most
           glorious
           ,
           when
           the
           enterprizes

           difficulties

           But
           we
           are
           not
           altogether
           strangers
           to
           their
           methods
           ,
           when
           they
           would
           pass
           treachery
           upon
           us
           for
           bravery

             Character
          
           ,

           have
           visibly
           verified
           ,
           what
           Historians
           have
           always
           recorded
           of
           them
           ,
           
             That
             at
             their
             first
             onset
             they
             were
             more
             than
             Men

             at

           We
           have
           less
           reason
           ,
           I
           hope
           ,
           to
           fear
           them
           ,
           and
           they
           more
           to
           fear
           us
           ,
           and
           I
           question
           not
           ,
           but
           they
           will
           find
           that
           we
           are
           not
           wholly
           degenerated
           ,
           and
           tho'
           all
           methods
           have
           been
           formerly
           used
           to
           make
           us
           dissolute
           ,
           and
           so
           consequently
           effeminate
           ,
           yet
           still
           the
           same
           Seeds
           of
           Virtue
           and
           Courage
           remain
           in
           us
           undestroyed
           ,
           and
           the
           present
           example
           of
           an
           Heroick
           and
           Gallant
           King
           will
           make
           them
           shoot
           up
           and
           flourish
           ,
           and
           excite
           us
           to
           imitate
           what
           even
           our
           Forefathers
           acted
           in
           the
           Reigns
           of
           Edward

           3d.
           and
           Henry

           that
           
           the
           French
           may
           experimentally
           find
           ,
           that
           we
           have
           neither
           forgot
           to
           attempt
           and
           perhaps
           succeed
           too
           .
           Besides
           ,
           't
           is
           Liberry

           Freedom
           that

           men
           valiant

           on
           the

           Those

           we

           Hearts
           and
           Spirits
           of

           and
           bold
           ,
           agreeable
           to
           their
           Constitution

           It
           was
           bravely
           said
           of
           Caesar
           to
           the
           affrighted
           Marriners
           who
           almost
           despair'd
           of
           safety

           Caesar

             his
             Fortune

           thus
           ye
           go

           Caesars
           Fortune

           fight
           under
           his
           Banner
           who
           was
           always
           a
           stranger
           to
           fear
           ,
           yet
           well
           acquainted
           with
           never
           avoided
           dangers

           His
           commands
           are
           weighed
           with
           Judgment

           and
           his
           Counsels

           caution
           and

           because
           laid
           with
           wisdom
           and
           prosecuted
           with
           resolution
           ,
           have
           seldom
           prov'd
           abortive
           or
           fail'd
           of
           success
           .
           If
           he
           hath
           been
           disappointed
           at
           one
           time

           he
           hath
           succeeded
           at
           another
           with
           interest
           ,
           and
           made
           amends
           for
           the
           loss
           ,
           with
           a
           double
           advantage
           .
           He
           never
           imprudently
           trusted
           in
           the
           uncertain
           arm
           of
           flesh
           ,
           or
           vainly
           and
           proudly
           boasted
           his
           Victories
           as
           owing
           to
           his
           own
           strength
           or
           conduct
           ,
           but
           always
           with
           a
           
             religious
             deference
          
           ,
           gave
           the
           whole
           Honour
           and
           Glory
           to
           the
           
             Lord
             of
             Hosts
             ,
             strong
             and
             mighty
             in
             Battle
          
           ;
           therefore
           I
           cannot
           ,
           for
           my
           own
           part
           ,
           but
           believe
           ,
           
           that
           God

           will
           ,
           in
           his
           own
           due
           time

           Foreign
           or
           Domestick

           with
           shame

             confusion
             of
             face
          
           .
           I
           could
           not
           but
           offer
           this
           weighty
           Consideration
           as
           a
           forcible
           Motive
           ,
           amongst
           many
           others
           ,
           to
           perswade
           you
           to
           Embarque
           in
           this
           Expedition
           (
           whatsoever
           it
           is
           or
           wheresoever
           intended
           )
           with
           vigour
           and
           courage
           ,
           since
           't
           is
           in
           his
           service
           ,
           and
           in
           obedience
           to
           his
           commands
           ,
           who
           hitherto
           hath
           been
           ,
           and
           I
           trust
           in
           God
           ,
           will
           still
           continue
           ,
           a
           Favourite
           of
           Heaven
           .
        
         
           'T
           is
           hardly
           possible
           to
           enumerate
           or
           foresee
           the
           invaluable
           advantages
           we
           may
           reap
           ,
           by
           an
           undaunted
           prosecution
           of
           the
           Expedition
           ;
           how
           far
           't
           will
           tend
           to
           procure
           an
           uninterrupted
           tranquility
           at
           home
           ,
           under
           the
           happy
           Government
           we
           now
           enjoy
           ,
           how
           much
           't
           will
           secure
           and
           enlarge
           our
           
             Trade
             and
             Commerce
          
           abroad
           ,
           and
           make
           us
           both
           a
           terror
           to
           our
           enemies
           ,
           and
           the
           admiration
           and
           envy
           even
           of
           our
           Confederates
           and
           Allies

           Reflect
           
           but
           on
           these
           Considerations
           ,
           for
           they
           speak
           an
           Exhortation
           .
           For
           my
           part
           ,
           I
           must
           declare
           ,
           I
           am
           so
           fully
           perswaded
           of
           your
           forwardness
           ,
           that
           could
           I
           be
           guilty
           of
           a
           thought
           ,
           that
           look'd
           like
           a
           mistrust
           of
           any
           mans
           zeal
           amongst
           you
           to
           promote
           and
           pursue
           this
           noble
           enterprize
           ,
           the
           next
           words
           should
           be
           an
           Apology
           for
           it
           .
           Having
           thus
           far
           observ'd
           ,
           and
           laid
           before
           you
           these
           obvious
           reasons
           to
           expel
           all
           the
           least
           degrees
           of
           fear
           .
           I
           proceed
           now
           to
           offer
           some
           few
           Considerations
           to
           perswade
           you
           ,
           that
           in
           all
           probability
           God
           will
           go
           with
           you
           ,
           to
           fight
           for
           you
           and
           to
           save
           you
           .
           The
           works
           of
           Providence
           are
           framed
           in
           the
           depth
           of
           God's
           Wisdom
           .
           His
           Counsells
           are
           steady
           and
           immutable
           .
           He
           who
           shall
           look
           slightly
           on
           the
           different
           position
           of
           the
           Wheels
           of
           a
           Clock
           ,
           at
           the
           first
           sight
           perhaps

           to
           have
           winds
           continue
           contrary
           when
           our
           enemies
           had
           a
           prospect
           of
           compassing
           their
           designs
           against
           us

           which
           at
           the
           same
           time
           favour'd
           us
           ,
           by
           giving
           a
           timely
           and
           seasonable
           opportunity
           to
           joyn
           our
           divided
           Fleets
           ,
           and
           then
           to
           have
           another
           wind
           to
           drive
           them
           upon
           us
           ,
           when
           the
           advantage
           was
           on
           our
           side
           ,
           to
           destroy
           so
           many
           of
           our
           enemies
           Ships
           and
           not
           suffer
           the
           loss
           of
           one
           ,
           seems
           strange
           even
           to
           us
           now
           ,
           and
           will
           hardly
           be
           believ'd

           If
           all
           that
           I
           have
           proposed
           to
           your
           considerations
           ,
           all
           this
           train
           of
           
             past
             Providences
          
           are
           not
           sufficient
           to
           establish
           and
           confirm
           a
           relying
           Faith
           in
           you
           ,
           to
           believe
           that
           God
           will
           accompany
           you
           with
           his
           guiding
           assistance
           and
           mighty
           power
           ,
           all
           other
           Demonstrations
           will
           prove
           ineffectual
           ,
           and
           nothing
           will
           provoke
           his
           displeasure
           more
           then
           this
           in
           considerate
           sin
           of
           infidelity
           and
           distrust
           .
        
         
           Again
           ,
           
             God
             is
             just
             and
             righteous
             in
             all
             his
             dealings
             towards
             the
             Children
             of
             Men
             ,
          
           he
           will
           deliver
           the
           oppressed
           and
           punish
           the
           
           Oppressor
           ,
           but
           we
           must
           wait
           his
           appointed
           ,
           because

           most

           time
           ;
           therefore
           let
           us
           not
           be
           impatient
           and
           think
           it
           long
           when
           we
           have
           all
           the
           most
           cogent
           reasons
           to
           believe
           it
           sure
           and
           certain
           .
           God
           hath
           chained
           and
           limited
           the
           power
           of
           the
           Devil
           :
           He
           hath
           set
           bounds
           to
           the
           wide
           and
           masterless
           Ocean
           ,
           and
           when
           his
           infinite
           Wisdom
           shall
           judge
           it
           best
           ,
           he
           can
           humble
           the
           Pride
           ,
           and
           will
           stop
           the
           Progress
           of
           the
           
             most
             insolent
          
           and
           
             threatning
             Tyrant
          
           :
           And
           as
           all
           Empires
           and
           Kingdoms
           have
           had
           their
           growth
           and
           decay
           by
           steps
           and
           degrees
           ,
           so
           the
           common
           enemy
           hath
           lately
           receiv'd
           a
           wound
           in
           his
           vital
           part
           ,
           which
           I
           hope
           ,
           and
           I
           believe
           ,
           will
           be
           a
           certain
           fore-runner
           of
           his
           unpitied
           Fall.
           'T
           is
           usual
           for
           men
           who
           unjustly
           grasp
           at
           all
           to
           lose
           all
           :
           And
           God
           many
           times
           suffers
           Tyrants
           to
           raise
           themselves
           to
           the
           highest
           pitch
           of
           grandeur
           ,
           that
           their
           fall
           may
           be
           greater
           and
           more
           remarkable
           .
           And
           now
           ,
           I
           cannot
           but
           mention
           the
           design
           of
           the
           
             Spanish
             Invasion

           and
           Religion
           ,
           with
           their
           vainly
           
           boasted
           
             invincible
             Armado

           which
           by
           the
           blessing
           of
           the
           Almighty
           upon

           infatuated
           bravado

           but
           that
           defeat
           gave
           so
           deep
           a

             9th

             God

           How
           often
           have
           we
           been

           How
           often
           have
           we
           almost
           despair'd

           Blessings
           which
           we
           now
           enjoy

           God
           hath
           most
           undeniably
           manifested
           himself

           If
           past
           Mercies
           and
           Deliverances
           will
           not
           be
           of
           force
           to
           perswade
           you
           to
           an
           hearty
           and
           sincere
           repentance
           and
           amendment
           of
           your
           Lives
           ,
           't
           will
           be
           in
           vain
           for
           me
           to
           offer
           any
           reasons
           or
           arguments
           to
           shake
           off
           and
           lay
           aside
           your
           provoking
           Sins
           .
           When
           men
           unfeignedly
           repent
           ,
           God
           will
           repent
           him
           of
           the
           Judgments
           he
           hath
           purposed
           to
           bring
           upon
           them

           and
           avert
           them
           .
           So
           that
           if
           we
           still
           continue
           obstinate
           and
           unreform'd
           in
           our
           Lives
           the
           fault
           only
           lies
           at
           our
           own
           doors
           ,
           and
           we
           justly
           suffer
           what
           we
           have
           foolishly
           and
           wilfully
           deserv'd
           .
           Repentance
           is
           ingeniously
           call'd
           by

           a
           Shipwrack
           ,
           if
           we
           do
           not
           lay
           hold
           and
           make
           use
           of
           it
           to
           save
           our selves
           ,
           we
           must
           sink
           into
           the
           bottomless
           Pit.
           'T
           is

           't
           is

           on
           the
           
           long-suffering
           of
           God
           ;
           he
           will
           speak
           Peace
           and
           Pardon
