Reproductions of originals in the Harvard University Library and British Library. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).

THey that can do no hurt are innocent As Child unborn , so the Dead are meant : Therefore they said they died , not lived so , Else their last Breath had them oppos'd with no. Which fill'd the Air with Poison in their Word , Able to turn the Edge of Justice Sword. Had it been true , but Truth is not their Guise , Their Sacred Order Lives and Thrives by Lyes . Yet they die Martyrs all . Why ? what 's the reason ? They die all for Religion ; which is Treason . Idolatries , Lyes , Blasphemies and worse , Are their Religion , bound up with a Curse . Poysons , Rapes , Massacres , are Saint-like Ware , And Holy Dictates , of the Roman Chair . Perjuries , Murthers , are their Laws ; 't were sin Not to be still found Dutiful therein : To Kill all Hereticks , is no Plot now , But true Devotion , and Religions Vow . Kings are Usurpers , that hold not their Crown Derived from Roman Mitre , and must down . They are more Troublesom than Egypts Frogs , And must be Kill'd as Vermine , or Mad Dogs . Thus they Promote the Scarlet Interest , In Honour to the Whore , and to the Beast . Apollyon , Abaddon , bids them Burn , And Root out Nations that will not Turn . Therefore they merit the three Crowned Horn ; And die as Innocent as Child unborn . FINIS .
