         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).

           THere
           is
           two
           things
           I

           had
           a

           Idleness
           and
           Ingratitude
           ,
           the
           desire
           I
           had
           to
           avoid
           both
           which
           hath
           been
           the
           occasion
           of

           both
           as
           to
           its
           Subject
           ,
           and
           the
           method
           of
           the
           Diseourse

           that
           it
           
           gave

           And
           this
           I
           may
           do

           further
           Interest

           This
           advantage
           I
           received
           from

           from
           some
           melancholly
           thoughts
           ;
           and
           I
           employed
           those
           hours
           of
           vacancy
           from
           business
           ,
           that

           Having
           thus
           redeemed
           some
           hours
           from
           the
           imputation

           being
           idlely
           spent
           ,
           I
           began
           to

           if
           there
           were

           further
           improvement
           to
           be
           
           made
           upon
           this
           occasion
           ,
           and
           reflecting
           upon
           the
           long
           friendship
           you
           have
           honored
           me
           with
           ,
           and
           the
           frequent
           favours
           you
           have
           conferred
           upon
           me
           ,

           present
           state
           of

           ,
           not
           permitting
           me

           suitable
           return
           ,
           I
           resolved

           favours
           ,
           and
           therefore
           took
           this
           opportunity
           of
           making

           One

           to

           the

           of
           all
           honest

           I

           it
           was
           the
           laudable

           last
           Century

           not
           onely
           voted

           it

           now
           at
           this
           time
           practised
           by
           many
           of
           the
           worthiest
           members
           of
           that
           Society

           yet
           some
           interessed
           Persons
           ,
           indeavour
           to
           disparage
           this
           way
           ,
           by
           alledging
           it
           is
           the
           same
           which
           is
           used
           by
           those
           bold
           pretenders
           to
           Physick

           But
           if
           this
           be
           a
           sufficient
           Argument
           ,
           I
           doubt
           there
           will
           hardly
           be
           found
           any
           Profession

           which
           may
           not
           be
           disparaged
           .
        
         
           It
           is
           certainly
           the
           interest
           of
           the
           Sick
           ,
           that
           Physitians
           do
           reassume
           this
           care
           of
           making
           Medicines
           for
           them
           .
           For
           now
           the
           Scurvy

           spread

           generally
           over

           parts
           of

           I
           rather
           use
           wine
           than
           water
           ,
           which
           seems
           more
           agreeable
           to
           reason

           most
           apt

           revive
           the
           spirits

           which
           is

           for

           thought

           I

           Lawes

           generating
           both
           of
           Geese
           ,
           of
           wood
           ,
           and
           of
           Apples
           .
           I
           therefore
           say
           ,
           and
           affirm
           ,
           
           that
           the
           seeds
           and
           eggs
           of
           these
           Geese
           are
           contained
           in
           that
           Sea
           ,
           and
           from
           them
           ,
           not
           from
           the
           Apples
           ,
           nor
           from
           the
           wood
           ,

           .
           So
           that
           whether
           the
           Apples
           ,
           or
           wood
           are
           put
           into

           of
           many
           small
           stalks

           leaf
           upon
           each
           of

           the
           root

           not
           so
           short

           from
           whence
           it
           strengthens
           loose
           Gums
           ,
           and
           prevents
           the

           out
           of
           the

           but
           Scurvygrass

           of
           a
           hot
           nature
           ,
           as
           any
           may
           perceive
           by
           its
           biting
           the
           lips

           from
           another
           Reason
           ,
           because
           it
           insensibly
           corrects
           those
           thin
           and
           cold
           humours
           ,
           whose
           substance
           is
           wholly
           vicious
           ,

           offensive
           ,
           which
           are
           lodged

           Salt

           gone

           therefore
           the
