Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. 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 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).

By JOHN CHISHVLL . The Preface . THe Lord that once took Israel by the hand To bring him out from Aegypts bondage , and To set him free from the Oppressing crew , Who vext their souls with burdens old & new , Spake all these words which here explained are : Mark well , and hear them with a hearing ear . The First Command . THe First Command informs us rightly where Worship must fix , whom we should love and fear ; Be sure you have a God , and have but one , He that hath more is like him that hath none . Love , Fear , Esteem , Honour , Desire , Adore , Praise , Trust , Believe , chuse him , to chuse no more . The Second . The Second sacred Law directs us now To Worship God , forbids to make or bow Before an Idol ; this excludes as vaine In Worship all the froth of humane braine , Injoynes us to observe with reverend Awe , The Sacred Ordinances of his Law. The Third . The Third Command forbids irreverend use Of Gods most Holy Name , which we abuse If slightly or prophanely we shall dare To name it , but much more uncall'd to sweare : Because this sin is common , is it small ? No ; such Transgressours shall not scape at all . The Fourth . The Fourth Command requires a Seventh dayes rest , Holy to God , comforts both man and beast ; Lay by thine own works , words , and thoughts , to raise Heaven-ward thy heart , by Faith , Hope , Love and Praise . This Law requires thy care for thee and thine , That needfull things with good you onely joyne . The Fifth . The Fifth Command requires a reverend Awe Of those whom Providence or Nature's Law Hath plac't above us , whether they be known To be our Countries Parents or our own : Kings , Rulers , Parents , Pastours , Masters are All to be honour'd with a pious care . The Sixth Command . Thou shalt not Kill ; thus speaks the Sixt Command . Murther 's a crying Sin , pollutes a Land. To th' Neighbour's person , name , or goods , a willing Wrong done by deed , word , thought , 's a kind of killing . Miscall , revile him not ; the Scriptures tell That causeless anger leads the way to hell . The Seventh . Take heed , fly from Adult'ry , sayes Command The Seav'nth in order , giv'n by Moses hand : Beware of loose behaviour , wanton dress , Words , gestures which entice to wantonness : 'Bove all , observe thine heart least it should steal Out by thine eye , a secret way to Hell. The Eighth . Thou shalt not steal : This Law secures thy store From fraud , and rapine , and the idle Poor ; Injoynes thee strictly to do all you can To further the Estate of every man. Just weights and ballance keep , the goods restore Unjustly gotten , though it make thee poor . The Ninth . When thou art call'd 'twixt man and man by Oath Or Word to witness , speak the Truth for both . Raise not , nor spread a slander , to defame Thy Neighbour , and unjustly wound his name : The flying Tale suppress ; see thou defend His Credit as thine own unto the end . The Tenth . The Tenth Commandment bids us be content With what Gods Providence to us hath lent : This is thy Neighbours hedge , let him alone ; Look not to lust , and say would 't were mine own . The goodness of this God and Law admire , Who would that none should wrong thee in desire . The Conclusion . Treasure up all these in thy youthfull heart , And let them not in age from thee depart ; But pray that he that did at first indite 'em , Would once for thee in fleshly Tables write 'em : So shalt thou find them to thy joyes increase , Wayes of great pleasantness , and paths of peace .
