         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).

           and
           then
           ye
           shall
           see
           nothing
           but
           Reformation
           going
           on
           .
           O
           if
           it
           were
           come
           to
           that
           .
        
         
           But
           ,
           Fourthly
           ,
           There
           is
           the
           Reformation
           it self
           ,
           which
           is
           set
           out
           in
           these
           Three
           .
           (
           1.
           )
           It
           is
           set
           out
           in
           the
           Body
           of
           the
           Land
           the
           Generality
           ,
           or
           Body
           of
           the
           Land
           :
           What
           does
           he
           to
           them
           ?
           Verse
           4
           He
           went
           throw
           the
           People
           and
           brought
           them
           back
           to
           the
           
             LORD
             GOD
          
           of
           their
           Fathers
           :
           They
           were
           like
           Run-away-Servants
           ;
           yea
           not
           only
           so
           ,
           but
           like
           the
           
           Levit's
           Concubine
           that
           had
           Departed
           from
           her
           Husband
           &
           had
           played
           the
           Whore
           ;
           And
           so
           he
           brings
           them
           back
           again
           to
           the
           Lord.
           But
           now
           you
           see
           what
           is
           the
           Duty
           or
           Office
           of
           a
           King
           ,
           to
           bring
           back
           the
           People
           of
           GOD
           to
           GOD.
           Wa
           ,
           What
           has
           the
           King
           done
           ,
           and
           these
           Rulers
           ?
           Wa
           ,
           Their
           Exercise
           in
           these
           Kingdoms
           has
           been
           to
           Debauch
           Folk
           from
           their
           Obedience
           to
           GOD
           ;
           And
           in
           a
           word
           ,
           it
           has
           been
           to
           Exauterate
           that
           Authority
           of
           GOD
           ,
           and
           Introduce
           and
           Heighten
           Man's
           Authority
           ;
           and
           has
           not
           that
           been
           that
           which
           all
           of
           them
           has
           been
           Carrying
           on
           ?
           Let
           the
           Commands
           of
           Men
           be
           Great
           with
           you
           ,
           and
           
           the
           Commands
           of
           GOD
           be
           Small
           ;
           This
           they
           have
           Imployed
           themselves
           all
           into
           :
           But
           never
           a
           word
           of
           the
           Commands
           of
           GOD
           ,
           nor
           his
           Authority
           .
           But
           ,
           I
           say
           ,
           this
           is
           the
           Work
           and
           Matter
           he
           Imploys
           himself
           into
           ;
           He
           goeth
           throw
           Judah
           ,
           &
           he
           bringeth
           the
           People
           back
           again
           to
           GOD
           ,
           like
           Run-away-Servants
           ,
           or
           the
           
           Levit's
           Concubine
           .
           They
           had
           been
           away
           :
           But
           now
           this
           Holy
           King
           ,
           he
           Imploys
           all
           his
           Power
           to
           bring
           them
           back
           again
           to
           GOD
           ;
           and
           he
           thinks
           them
           Good
           Subjects
           ,
           if
           they
           be
           Good
           Saints
           .
           But
           what
           is
           Obedience
           to
           him
           in
           regard
           of
           Obedience
           to
           GOD
           ;
           But
           the
           contrary
           is
           said
           and
           done
           by
           the
           Men
           of
           this
           Generation
           :
           We
           are
           sure
           we
           see
           this
           plain
           from
           the
           Scripture
           ,
           or
           Word
           of
           GOD
           ,
           that
           this
           is
           a
           part
           of
           the
           Office
           of
           a
           King
           :
           And
           he
           that
           hath
           no
           Regard
           to
           this
           ,
           ought
           no
           more
           to
           be
           Esteemed
           a
           King
           ,
           but
           a
           Tyrrant
           and
           Enemy
           to
           GOD.
           
        
         
           But
           ,
           Secondly
           ,
           A
           second
           part
           of
           Reformation
           is
           done
           upon
           the
           
             Civil
             State
          
           ,
           What
           doth
           he
           there
           ?
           
             He
             sets
             Judges
             in
             every
             City
             of
          
           Judah
           &c.
           
           We
           will
           get
           Customers
           anew
           in
           all
           the
           Cities
           of
           Judah
           :
           But
           few
           Judges
           ,
           more
           for
           Exactions
           and
           Customes
           ,
           nor
           for
           Judgement
           .
           Now
           undoubtedly
           as
           he
           was
           a
           Holy
           Man
           himself
           ,
           so
           he
           set
           Holy
           and
           Good
           Judges
           in
           every
           City
           .
           For
           every
           King
           will
           choose
           out
           such
           Judges
           as
           himself
           is
           .
           Officers
           and
           Judges
           will
           tell
           you
           what
           a
           Nature
           the
           Kings
           are
           of
           .
           Souldiers
           and
           Curats
           shews
           what
           's
           the
           Disposition
           their
           Prince
           is
           of
           .
           Then
           we
           may
           know
           what
           is
           the
           Nature
           of
           the
           King
           and
           Court.
           A
           Holy
           King
           will
           have
           Holy
           Judges
           that
           will
           give
           Justice
           and
           Equity
           to
           all
           ;
           But
           now
           we
           need
           not
           look
           for
           Equity
           and
           Justice
           ;
           if
           they
           would
           let
           us
           alone
           with
           their
           Injuries
           ,
           Now
           I
           say
           ,
           that
           is
           the
           second
           part
           of
           
             Reformation
             (
             viz.
          
           )
           in
           the
           Civil
           or
           State
           ,
           he
           gives
           Holy
           Judges
           ,
           and
           he
           has
           a
           particular
           Exhortation

             He

           and
           the
           Unjust

           There
           is
           no

           in
           our
           GOD
           ,
           and
           ye
           need
           not
           think
           that
           when
           ye
           do
           Wrong
           in
           Judgement
           that
           he
           will
           allow
           of
           it
           :
           For
           all
           Processes
           and
           Judgements
           that
           have
           been
           given
           out
           by
           Men

           will
           be
           seen

           GOD
           at
           the
           long

           ;
           For
           He
           is
           like
           a
           Great
           King
           that
           must
           Survey
           every
           Thing
           .
           It
           's
           true
           Kings
           now
           never
           looks
           to
           the

           So
           then
           ,
           he
           says
           to
           them

           see
           to
           it
           ,
           GOD

           It
           will
           be
           seen

           GOD
           how
           ye
           have
           judged
           ,
           and
           according

           the
           Judgement
           that
           ye
           have
           given
           ,
           GOD
           will
           give
           you
           Judgement
           .
           Now
           GOD
           is
           no
           Accepter
           of
           Persons

           What
           is
           that
           ?
           Give
           every
           one
           his

           one
           his

           Think
           you
           GOD
           will
           spare
           a
           King
           more

           for
           all

           he
           hath
           set
           up
           a
           King
           there
           :
           Therefore
           Kings
           are
           more
           bound
           to
           him
           than
           others
           .
           Said
           Christ
           who
           ought
           to
           Love
           most
           ?
           It
           was
           answered
           ,
           He
           to
           whom
           GOD
           has
           given
           most

           So
           he
           that
           has
           gotten
           most
           Tokens
           of
           GODs
           Love
           ,
           he
           should
           be
           most
           Holy
           ;
           And
           they
           to
           whom
           less
           has
           been
           given

           less
           is
           expected
           of
           :
           And
           so
           they
           should
           be
           most
           Holy
           who
           Command
           others

           For
           with
           GGD
           there

           and
           so
           there
           ought
           to
           be
           no

           of
           Persons
           with
           Judges
           ,
           Folk
           thinks
           
           that
           Kings

           But
           let
           any
           Man
           shew
           us
           that
           Kings
           are
           above
           Laws
           ,
           either
           from
           Scripture
           or
           Reason

           GOD
           hath
           said
           it
           ,
           that
           with
           him
           there
           is
           no
           Respect
           of
           Persons
           ;
           So
           this
           will
           bring
           a
           King
           in
           under
           Law

           well

           others
           .
           Then
           he
           who
           Judges
           for
           GOD
           must
           say
           that
           if
           he
           say
           Rightly
           :
           Even
           this
           with
           us

           there
           ought
           to
           be

           Indeed
           we
           will
           add
           this
           one
           Word
           ,
           which
           is
           necessary
           to
           be
           added
           in
           this
           Case
           :
           There
           is
           no
           Body
           that
           Rules
           ,
           but
           they
           will
           be
           lyable
           to
           Failings
           in
           Ruling
           :
           And
           therefore
           if
           all
           Faults
           of
           Rulers
           should
           be
           exactly
           looked
           to
           ,
           there
           would
           be
           none
           who
           would
           Rule
           a
           Day
           to
           an
           end
           ,
           but
           we
           might
           find
           Faults
           in
           them
           ,
           for
           which
           to
           Depose
           them
           ere
           Night
           :
           But
           we
           will
           say
           this
           ,
           it
           is
           one
           thing
           to
           be
           a
           Failing
           in
           Infirmity
           ,
           and
           another
           thing
           to
           be
           in
           a
           constant
           Course
           of
           Wickedness
           ,
           and
           Enmity
           against
           GOD.
           The
           first
           may
           be
           spared
           ;
           but
           not
           the
           last
           .
           Then
           look
           where
           we
           are
           now
           :
           But
           whatever
           ye
           think
           of
           this
           ,
           it
           is
           the
           Truth
           of
           GOD
           which
           we
           are
           Declaring
           unto
           you
           at
           this
           time

           The
           Third
           Thing

           First

           A

           We

           they

           Narrowly
           in

           say
           to
           us

           But
           we
           shall
           say
           this
           one
           Word

           We

           And
           so

           Now
           that
           many
           Fell

           was
           it
           not

           Holy

           in
           GOD
           that
           some
           were
           preserved

           O!
           Consider
           well
           wherefore
           it
           was
           that
           GOD
           has

           Remarkably
           preserved
           you
           ,
           especially
           when
           He
           might
           have
           taken
           away
           your
           Life
           .
           Now
           there
           are
           severals
           here
           that
           have
           had
           a
           part

           such
           a

           this

           not
           only
           once

           once

           again
           .
           O!
           Great
           Deliverances
           has
           He
           given
           to
           some
           ,
           even
           when
           they
           were

           a
           Sinfull
           Cause
           :
           Then
           Mind
           now
           and
           Remember
           wherefore
           it
           is
           ,
           that
           GOD
           has
           preserved
           you
           ;
           It
           is
           to
           Repent
           of
           Sin
           :
           Yet
           more

           it
           is
           that
           ye
           may
           be
           ready
           at
           a
           Good
           Turn
           again
           when
           He
           calls
           for
           it
           at
           your
           Hands
           ;
           But
           beware
           of
           this
           ,
           tho'
           He

           the
           next
           time
           by
           no
           more
           joining
           in

           ;
           For
           Sinfull
           Associations
           is
           ever
           Dangerous

           Whatever
           the
           Vngodly

           with
           in
           them
           ,
           yet
           certainly
           the
           Godly
           never
           Thrives
           in
           such
           Associations
           .
           Now
           this
           is
           the
           Thing
           that
           we
           wade
           say

           Let
           every
           Man
           that
           has
           a
           part

           Wherefore
           has
           Thou
           preserved
           me

           Wherefore

           it
           a
           Blessing

           But
           I
           think
           not
           so
           much
           of

           some
           End

           even

           O!
           but
           I
           have
           gotten
           Little.
           There
           are

           Nay

           They

           For
           when
           they
           shall
           be
           raised
           and
           reckoned
           with

           and
           say
           then
           ,
           I
           have
           not

           the

           Now
           we
           must

           The
           Generation
           afterwards

           Wonder

           such

           It
           may
           be
           thought
           ,

           There
           was

           Act
           made
           by

           that
           all
           the
           World
           counted
           Abominable
           :
           But
           they
           have
           over-passed
           that
           Filthy
           Law
           of
           King
           Kenneth

           For
           their
           Laws
           are
           more
           Abominable

           We
           shall
           say
           that
           one
           word

           Well
           ,
           let
           every

           looked
           over

           if
           they
           have
           not
           the
           Character
           of
           Justice

           They

           another
           kind
           of
           a
           Stamp

           But
           Laws
           must
           be
           Stamped
           with

           as
           well

           whether
           or
           no
           they
           have
           this
           Mark
           ,
           in
           Obeying
           of
           them

           ye
           Disobey
           GOD
           ;
           and
           Remember
           this
           ,
           stand
           to
           it
           .
           Now
           ye
           see
           the
           many
           Orders
           that
           hath
           gone
           forth
           ,
           so
           that
           ye
           cannot
           do
           so
           much
           as
           give
           a
           Souldier
           Provenent
           for
           his
           Beast
           ,
           but
           ye
           Displease
           GOD.
           Let
           them
           take
           what
           they
           will
           ,
           and
           be
           answerable
           to
           GOD
           for
           it
           ;
           but
           my
           Hand
           shall
           not
           give
           it
           .
           There
           are
           many
           who
           thinks
           nothing
           of
           it
           .
           Wofull
           Creatures
           ,
           think
           you
           nothing
           to
           Uphold
           Souldiers
           ,
           all
           whose
           Works
           is
           to
           Fight
           against
           GOD
           and
           Religion
           .
           Now
           see
           if
           ever
           there
           was
           an
           other
           Turn
           in
           their
           Hand
           .
           But
           before
           we
           proceed
           to
           the
           next
           Question
           ,
           we
           shall
           speak
           a
           few
           words
           ,
           
             To
             whom
             will
             ye
             Flee
          
           ?
           Who
           will
           Shelter
           you
           against
           GOD
           ?
           There
           was
           never
           a
           Man
           so
           Great
           ,
           but
           there
           was
           ay
           some
           fleeing
           from
           him
           ,
           and
           there
           was
           some
           Power
           to
           which
           we
           might
           have
           joined
           our selves
           that
           would
           be
           able
           to
           Defend
           us
           from
           him
           .
           
             But
             where
             will
             you
             Flee
             ?
             GOD
          
           is
           the
           Pursuer
           ,
           
           Who
           can
           be
           the
           Defender
           ?
           We
           shall
           say
           that
           one
           word
           ,
           There
           would
           not
           be
           such
           ready
           Obedience
           to
           the
           Sinfull
           Commandments
           of
           Men
           ,
           if
           the
           Greatness
           of
           GOD
           were
           Considered
           .
           It
           is
           a
           Dreadfull
           Thing
           to
           fall
           into
           the
           Hands
           of
           the
           
             Living
             GOD.
          
           I
           put
           my self
           in
           the
           Hands
           of
           Justice
           by
           giving
           Obedience
           to
           
             Sinfull
             Laws
          
           .
           I
           Homologate
           their
           Deed
           ,
           and
           my
           Obedience
           is
           as
           if
           I
           Consented
           to
           their
           Deed
           ;
           So
           they
           come
           to
           every
           Mans
           Door
           ,
           obey
           ,
           or
           not
           obey
           :
           He
           who
           obeys
           ,
           Consents
           to
           their
           Laws
           ;
           and
           he
           that
           disobeys
           ,
           Dissents
           ,
           and
           Protests
           :
           But
           the
           Thing
           that
           is
           evidently
           held
           out
           ,
           (
           for
           we
           will
           not
           return
           again
           )
           is
           this
           ,
           in
           all
           the
           World
           against
           Justice
           and
           the
           Stroaks
           of
           
             GOD
             ,
             Where
             will
             ye
             Flee
             ,
             to
             whom
             will
             ye
             Flee
             for
             Help
             ?
          
           Go
           your
           way
           ,
           and
           do
           as
           ye
           will
           :
           But
           Remember
           ,
           this
           you
           shall
           have
           ,
           the
           Justice
           of
           GOD
           to
           pursue
           you
           .
           Next
           ,
           
             and
             to
             whom
             will
