         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).

                 This
                 is

                 all
                 tough
                 humours
                 that

                 Therefore

                 it
                 is
                 like
                 a

                 And

                 that

                 so
                 swell
                 the
                 Liver
                 ,
                 when
                 it
                 cannot
                 get
                 out

                 because
                 the
                 Veins
                 there
                 are

                 the
                 largest
                 Guts

                 so
                 stopped
                 by
                 wind

                 Therefore
                 the
                 Arabians
                 say
                 ,
                 that
                 a
                 very
                 gross
                 vapour
                 is
                 thinner
                 then
                 Chyle
                 ,
                 as
                 wind
                 is
                 thinner
                 then
                 water

                 but
                 thin
                 Chyle
                 concocted
                 as
                 it
                 ought

                 doth
                 not
                 obstruct
                 the
                 Liver
                 ;
                 therefore
                 wind
                 cannot
                 :
                 but
                 this
                 is
                 simple
                 ;
                 for
                 hence
                 then
                 it
                 should
                 follow
                 ,
                 that
                 the
                 Guts
                 should
                 never
                 be
                 obstructed
                 by
                 wind
                 ,
                 which
                 is
                 against
                 Experience
                 ,
                 when
                 they
                 send
                 forth
                 the
                 thickest
                 dung
                 .
                 Therefore
                 the
                 Liver
                 is
                 obstructed

                 humors
                 .
                 But
                 we
                 must
                 beware
                 ,
                 lest
                 we

                 to
                 be
                 obstructed
                 with
                 wind
                 ,
                 when
                 the

                 is
