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).

Gentlemen , FOR God's Sake be wise in your well meant Zeal : Why do you argue away pretious Time that can never be revoked or repaired ? Wo is me , while we dispute our Friends perish , and we must follow them ; Where are we , if we break ( and I tremble to think ) we cannot but break if we hold so stiff . Our Liberties and Proprieties are sufficiently declared to be sure and legal ; our Remedies are clear and irrefragable : What do we fear ? Every Subject sees the way now chalked out for future Justice , and who dares henceforth tread besides it ? Certainly , while Parliaments live , we need not misdoubt the Violations of our Freedoms and Rights : May we be but where the Law found us , we shall sufficiently enjoy our selves and ours ; It is no season to search for more : Oh let us not whilst we over-rigidly plead for an higher strain of Safety , put our selves into a necessity of Ruine and utter despair of Redress . Let us not in the suspitions of Evils that may be , cast our selves into a present Confusion . If you love your selves and your Country , remit something of your own Terms ; and since the substance is yielded by your Noble Patriots , stand not too vigorously upon points of Circumstance . Fear not to trust a good King , who after the strict Laws made , must be trusted with the Execution . Think that your Country , nay , and Christendome , lies on the mercy of your present Resolutions . Relent , or farewel Welfare . From him whose faithful Heart bleeds in a vowed Sacrifice for his King and Country , EXETER . LONDON , Printed for C. G. 1681.
