         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).

           Body
           of
           Scripture
           is
           like
           a
           great
           House
           ,
           in
           which
           are
           several
           Appartments
           ,
           and
           therein
           many
           Rooms
           shut
           up
           ,
           and
           in
           them
           again
           many
           Cabinets
           ,
           and
           Boxes
           lockt
           down
           :
           Nor
           hangs
           the
           proper
           Key
           at
           every
           Door
           ,
           but
           they
           lie
           scatter'd
           here
           ,
           and
           there
           ,
           and
           counterchang'd
           ;
           so
           that
           it
           requires
           some
           pains
           ,
           and
           skill
           to
           find
           them
           out
           ,
           and
           apply
           them
           aright
           .
           Thus
           the
           Key
           of
           the
           Prophetick
           Scripture
           lies
           in
           the
           Historical
           ,
           where
           we
           often
           find
           both
           the
           Occasion
           of
           the
           Prophecy
           ,
           and
           the
           Event
           too
           ;
           and
           that
           proves
           usually
           the
           best
           Interpreter
           .
           Thus
           the
           Acts
           of
           the
           Apostles
           ,
           which
           contein
           the
           Peregrinations
           ,
           and
           Gests
           of
           St.
           Paul
           ,
           are
           a
           great
           Master-Key
           to
           open
           his
           Epistles
           ,
           and
           to
           unlock
           to
           us
           many
           things
           ,
           hard
           otherwise
           to
           be
           understood
           in
           them
           .
           And
           thus
           in
           the
           present
           Instance
           ,
           
           David's
           History

           the

           the
           holy
           Man
           in
           a

           Affliction
           ;
           wandring
           like
           an
           Exile
           ,
           or
           Bandito

           I.
           As
           it
           looks
           down

           and
           so
           it
           speaks
           our
           great
           Honour
           ,

           II.
           As
           it
           looks
           up

           another
           Aspect

           indispensable
           Duty

           and
           calls
           aloud

           suitable
           Deportment
           ;
           which
           is

           our
           Refuge

           the

           holy
           Souls
           ,
           but
           especially
           of
           pious
           Kings
           ,
           and
           their

           They
           are

           may
           seem
           to

           And

           I

           spend
           the
           Hour

           But
           I
           am
           sensible

           that
           I
           have
           already
           staid

           first
           Head

           Discourse
           propounded

           and
           so
           perhaps
           comply'd
           too
           much
           with
           the
           common
           Humour
           ,
           which
           loves
           rather
           to
           be
           tickled

           I
           shall
           therefore
           make
           haste
