         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).

           will
           to
           their
           Cause
           .
           The
           King
           was
           hunted
           as
           a
           Partridge
           in
           the
           Mountains
           ;
           and
           though
           the
           Hounds
           have
           been
           hang'd
           ,
           yet
           the
           Hunters
           were
           as
           guilty
           as
           they
           ,
           and
           deserved
           no
           less
           punishment
           .
           And
           the
           Decypherers
           ,
           and
           all
           that
           blew
           the
           horn

           are
           to
           be
           reckoned
           amongst
           the
           Hunters
           .
           Perhaps
           you
           would
           not
           have
           had
           the
           prey
           killed
           ,
           but
           rather
           have
           kept
           it
           tame
           .
           And
           yet
           who
           can
           tell
           ?
           I
           have
           read
           of
           few
           Kings
           deprived
           of
           their
           Power
           by
           their
           own
           Subjects

           that
           have
           lived
           any
           long
           time
           after
           it
           ,
           for
           reasons
           that
           
           every
           man
           is
           able
           to
           conjecture

           All
           this
           is
           so
           manifest
           as
           it
           needs
           no
           witnesses

           In
           the
           mean
           time
           Mr.
           Hobbes
           his
           behaviour
           was

           What

           Title
           then

           Oliver's

           justifie
           ?
           But
           you
           will

           He

           and
           so
           by
           consequence
           he
           placed
           it
           in
           Oliver

           Is
           that
           all

           Then
           primarily
           his

           was
           then
           in
           them

           Why

           He

           Where
           he
           puts

             It

           Doctor

           has
           not
           first
           done
           all

           he

           why
           that

           That

           it
           was

           that
           he

           the
           Confiscation
           of
           their
           Estates
           ,
           which
           if
           they
           had
           attended
           the
           Discord
           of
           their
           Enemies

           might
           have
           been
           saved
           .
        
         
           Perhaps
           you
           will
           take
           for
           a
           sign
           of
           Mr.
           Hobbes
           his
           ill
           meaning
           ,
           that
           
           His
           Majesty
           was
           displeased
           with
           him
           .
           And
           truly
           I
           believe
           He
           was
           displeased
           for
           a
           while
           ,
           but
           not
           very
           long
           .
           They
           that
           complained
           of
           ,
           and
           mis-construed
           his
           writings
           ,
           were
           His
           Majesties
           good
           Subjects
           ,
           and
           reputed
           Wise
           and
           Learned
           men
           ,
           and
           thereby
           obtained
           to
           have
           their
           mis-construction
           believed
           for
           some
           little
           time
           :
           But
           the
           very
           next
           Summer
           after
           his
           coming
           away
           ,
           two
           Honourable
           Persons
           of
           the
           Court
           that
           came
           over
           into
           England
           ,
           assured
           him
           ,
           that
           His
           Majesty
           had
           a
           good
           opinion
           of
           him
           ;
           and
           others
           since
           have
           told
           me
           ,
           that
           His
           Majesty
           said
           openly
           ,
           That
           He
           thought
           Mr.
           Hobbes
           never
           meant
           him
           hurt
           .
           Besides
           ,
           His
           Majesty
           hath
           used
           him
           more
           graciously
           than
           is
           ordinary
           to
           so
           humble
           a
           person
           as
           he
           is
           ,
           and
           so
           great
           a
           Delinquent
           as
           you
           would
           make
           him
           ,
           and
           testified
           His
           esteem
           
           of
           him

           His
           bounty

           What
           Argument
           now
           can
           you
           draw
           from
           hence
           more
           than
           this
           ,
           That
           His
           Majesty
           understood
           his
           writings
           better
           than
           his
           Accusers
           did
           .
        
         
           I

           with
           Atheism

           I
           thought
           once
           ,
           that
           that
           slander

           some
           (
           though
           not
           firm
           )
           ground
           in
           that
           you

           But
           for
           that
           point
           he
           will
           allege
           these
           words
           of
           his
           Leviathan

           it

           Questions
           .
           And
           me
           thinks
           you
           should
           not
           dare
           to
           deny
           it
           ;
           for
           it
           is
           a
           manifest
           relapse

           But
           why
           do
           you
           stile
           the
           King

           Do
           you
           find
           Magistrate

           there

           an
           Epitome

           That

           called
           Incorporeal

           not
           like

           of

           Angels

           You

           what
           Fellows
           in
           Atheism

           How
           unfeigned
           your
           own
           Religion
           is
           ,
           may
           be
           argued
           strongly
           ,
           demonstratively
           ,
           from
           your
           behahaviour
           that
           I
           have
           already
           recited
           .
           
           Do
           you
           think

           you
           that
           have
           committed
           so
           abominable
           sins
           ,
           not
           through
           infirmity

           or
           sudden
           transport
           of

           wilfully

           for
           twenty
           years
           together

           that
           any
           rational
           man
           can
           think
           you
           believe
           your selves
           ,
           when
           you
           preach
           of
           Heaven
           and
           Hell
           ,
           or
           that
           you
           do
           not

           and
           to
           laugh
           at
           silly
           People
           in
           your
           sleeves
           for
           believing
           you

           or
           that
           you
           applaud
           not
           your
           own
           wit
           for
           it
           ;
           though
           for
           my
           part
           I
           could
           never
           conceive
           that
           very
           much
           wit
           was
           requisite
           for
           the
           making
           of
           a
           knave

           And
           in
           the
           Pulpit
           most
           of
           you
           have
           been
           a
           scandal
           to
           Christianity
           ,
           by
           preaching
           up
           Sedition
           ,
           and
           crying
           down
           Moral
           Virtue
           .
           You
           should
           have
           preach'd
           against
           unjust
           
             Ambition

             Fraud

           and
           Hypocrisie
           :
           But
           for
           the
           most
           part
           you
           preach'd
           your
           own
           Controversies
           ,
           about
           who
           should
           be
           uppermost
           ,
           or
           other
           fruitless
           and
           unedifying
           Doctrines
           .
           When
           did
           any
           of
           you
           preach
           against
           Hypocrisie
           ?
           You
           dare
           not
           in
           the
           Pulpit
           (
           I
           think
           )
           so
           much
           as
           name
           it
           ,
           lest
           you
           set
           the
           Church
           a
           laughing
           :
           And
           you
           in
           particular
           ,
           when
           you
           said
           in
           a
           Sermon
           ,
           That
           Sophos
           was
           not
           in
           Homer
           ;
           what
           edification
           could
           the
           People
           have
           from
           that
           ,
           though
           it
           had
           been
           true
           ,
           as
           't
           is
           false

           (
           For
           it
           is

           )
           Another
           I
           heard
           make
           half
           his
           Sermon
           of
           this
           Doctrine
           ,
           That
           
             God
             never
             sent
             a
             great
             Deliverance
             ,
             but
             in
             a
             great
             Danger
             :
          
           Which
           is
           indeed
           true
           ,
           because
           the
           greatness
           of
           the
           Danger
           makes
           the
           greatness
           of
           the
           Deliverance
           ,
           but
           for
           the
           same
           cause
           ridiculous
           ;
           and
           
           the
           other
           half
           he
           took
           to
           construe
           the
           Greek
           of
           his
           Text
           :
           And
           yet
           such
           Sermons
           are
           much
           applauded
           .
           But
           why
           ?
           First
           ,
           Because
           they
           make
           not
           the
           People
           ashamed
           of
           any
           Vice.
           Secondly
           ,
           Because
           they
           like
           the
           Preacher
           ,
           for
           using
           to
           find
           fault
           with
           the
           Government
           or
           Governors
           .
           Thirdly
           ,
           For
           their
           vehemence
           ,
           which
           they
           mistake
           for
           Zeal
           .
           Fourthly
           ,
           For
           their
           zeal
           to
           their
           own
           ends
           ,
           which
           they
           mistake
           for
           zeal
           to
           Gods
           Worship
           .
           I
           have
           heard
           besides
           divers
           Sermons
           made
           by
           Phanatiques
           ,
           young
           men
           ,
           and
           whom
           by
           that
           ,
           and
           their
           habit
           ,
           I
           imagined
           to
           be
           Apprentices
           ;
           and
           found
           little
           difference
           between
           their
           Sermons
           ,
           and
           the
           Sermons
           of
           such
           as
           you
           ,
           either
           in
           respect
           of
           Wisdom
           ,
           or
           Eloquence
           ,
           or
           Vehemence
           ,
           or
           Applause
           of
           Common
           People
           .
        
         
         
           Therefore
           I
           wonder
           how
           you
           can
           pretend
           (
           as
           you
           do
           in
           your
           Petition
           ,
           for
           a
           Dispensation
           from
           the
           Ceremonies
           of
           the
           Church

           to
           be
           either
           better
           Preachers
           than
           those
           that
           Conform
           ,
           or
           to
           have
           tenderer
           Consciences
           than
           other
           men
           .
           You
           that
           have
           covered
           such
           black
           Defigns
           with
           the
           Sacred
           words
           of
           Scripture
           ,
           why
           can
           you
           not
           as
           well
           find
           in
           your
           hearts
           to
           cover
           a
           black
           Gown

           Or
           what
           Idolatry
           do
           you
           find
           in

           Though

           you

           give
           Mr.

           leave

           plead
           tenderness

           I
           should

           any

           a
           multitude
           met
           together

           without

           now
           that
           we
           have
           felt
           the
           smart
           of
           it
           ,
           but
           that
           it
           is
           a
           Relique
           of
           the
           Ecclesiastical
           Policy
           of
           the
           Popes

           that
           found
           it
           necessary
           for
           the
           dis-joyning

           that
           a
           Christian
           King
           can
           use
           for
           the
           governing
           of
           Christs
           Flock
           ,
           the
           misgoverning
           whereof
           the
           King
           is
           to

           for

           are
           to

           Therefore
           I
           should
           wonder
           the
           more
           at

           the
           Church
           depends
           on
           the
           Safety
           of
           the
           King
           ,

           entireness
           of
           the
           Sovereign
           Power

           the
           King

           no
           part

           Nor

           that

           Mr.
           Hobbes
           think
           himself
           a
           worse
           Christian
           than
           the

           you

           that
           the
           obedience

           scorn
           of
           Injustice

           is
           less
           acceptable
           to
           God
           ,
           than
           that
           which
           proceeds

           Gravity

           heaviness
           of
           Countenance
           are
           not

           good
           marks
           of

           better
           signs
           of
           Religion

           that
           which
           angred
           you
           ,
           I
           believe
           ,
           was
           this
           passage

             Whereas
             some
             men
             have
             pretended
             for
             their
             Disobedience
             to
             their
             Sovereign
             ,
             a
             new
             Covenant
             made
             ,
             not
             with
             men
             ,
             but
             with
             God
             ;
             this
             also
             is
             unjust
             :
             For
             there
             is
             no
             Covenant
             with
             God
             ,
             but
             by
             mediation
             of
             some
             body
             that
             representeth
             Gods
             Person
             ;
             which
             none
             doth
             but
             Gods
             Lieutenant
             ,
             who
             hath
             the
             Sovereignty
             under
             God
             :
             But
             this
             pretence
             of
             Covenant
             with
             God
             ,
             is
             so
             evident
             a
             lye
          
           (
           this
           is
           it
           that
           angred
           you
           )
           
             even
             in
             the
             pretenders
             own
             Consciences
             ,
             that
             it
             is
             not
             only
             an
             act
             of
             an
             unjust
             ,
             but
             also
             of
             a
             vile
             and
             unmanly
             disposition
             .
          
        
         
           Besides
           his
           making
           the
           King
           Judge
           of
           Doctrines
           to
           be
           preach'd
           or
           published
           ,
           hath
           offended
           you
           both
           ;
           so
           has
           also
           his
           Attributing
           
           to
           the
           Civil
           Sovereign
           all
           Power
           Sacerdotal
           .
           But
           this
           perhaps
           may
           seem
           hard
           ,
           when
           the
           Sovereignty
           is
           in
           a
           Queen
           :
           But
           it
           is
           because
           you
           are
           not
           subtle
           enough
           to
           perceive
           ,
           that
           though
           Man
           be
           male

           To

           neither
           Party

           to
           please
           both
           ,
           unless
           you
           could
           better
           agree
           amongst
           your selves
           than
           you

           Your

           have
           troubled
           the
           Kingdom
           ,
           as
           if
           you
           were

           of
           York

           Lancaster
           .
           A
           man
           would
           wonder
           how

           little
           Latin

           Greek
           should
           work
           so
           mightily
           ,
           when
           the
           Scriptures
           are
           in

           the

           hardly
           keep
           you
           quiet
           ,
           especially
           in

             That

             be

             it

             bigger

             That
          
           Eternity
           
             is
             a

             further
             than
             you
             thought
             fit

             the
             fraud
             of
             the
          
           Roman
           Clergy
           .
           Your
           dislike
           of
           his
           Divinity
           was
           the
           least
           cause
           of
           your
           calling
           him
           Atheist
           .
           But
           no
           more
           of
           this
           now
           .
        
         
           The
           next
           Head
           of
           your
           Contumelies
           is
           to
           make
           him
           contemptible
           ,
           and
           to
           move
           Mr.
           Boyle
           to
           pity
           him
           .
           This
           is
           a
           way
           of
           railing
           too
           much
           beaten
           to
           be
           thought
           Witty.
           
           As
           for
           the
           thing
           it self
           ,
           I
           doubt
           your
           Intelligence
           is
           not
           good
           ,
           and
           that
           you
           Algebricians
           ,
           and
           Non-conformists
           ,
           do
           but
           fain
           it
           ,
           to
           comfort
           one
           another
           .
           For
           your
           own
           part
           ,
           you
           contemn
           him
           not
           ,
           or
           else
           you
           did
           very
           foolishly
           to
           entitle
           the
           beginning
           of
           your
           Book
           ,
           Mr.
           
             Hobbes
             considered
          
           ;
           which
           argues
           he
           is
           considerable
           enough
           to
           you
           .
           Besides
           ,
           't
           is
           no
           Argument
           of
           Contempt
           ,
           to
           spend
           upon
           him
           so
           many
           angry
           lines
           as
           would
           have
           furnisht
           you
           with
           a
           dozen
           of
           Sermons
           :
           If
           you
           had
           in
           good
           earnest
           despised
           him
           ,
           you
           would
           have
           let
           him
           alone
           ,
           as
           he
           does
           Dr.
           Ward
           ,

           that
           have
           reviled
           him

           you
           do

           As
           for
           his
           Reputation

           the
           Seas

           it
           fades
           not
           yet

           And
           because
           perhaps
           you
           have
           no
           means

           I

             Truly

             Sir

             as
             much

             admire

             so
             much
             I
             mislike
             them

             hear
             them

             is
             nothing

             take
             less

           old
           age

           and
           Experience
           from
           Age

           you
           are
           a
           very
           young
           man

           but
           by
           your
           own
           reckoning
           ,
           you
           are
           older
           already
           than
           Methuselah
           .
        
         
           Lastly
           ,
           Who
           told
           you
           that
           he
           
           writ
           against
           Mr.
           Boyle
           ,
           whom
           in
           his
           writing
           he
           never
           mentioned
           ?
           And
           that
           it
           was
           because
           Mr.
           Boyle
           was
           acquainted
           with
           you
           ?
           I
           know
           the
           contrary
           .
           I
           have
           heard
           him
           wish
           it
           had
           been
           some
           person
           of
           lower
           condition
           that
           had
           been
           the
           Author
           of
           the
           Doctrine
           which
           he
           opposed
           ,
           and
           therefore
           opposed
           because
           it
           was
           false
           ,
           and
           because
           his
           own
           could
           not
           otherwise
           be
           defended
           .
           But
           thus
           much
           I
           think
           is
           true
           ,
           that
           he
           thought
           never
           the
           better
           of
           his
           Judgment
           ,
           for
           mistaking
           you
           for
           Learned
           .
           This
           is
           all
           I
           thought
           fit
           to
           answer
           for
           him
           and
           his
           manners
           .
           The
           rest
           is

           ,
           concerning
           which
           ,
           I
           say
           only
           this
           ,
           That
           there
