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).

Being very good Instructions for Old and Young , rich and poor , to amend their lives , and repent before it be too late . To the Tune of , The rich Merchant Man. TO you both Old and Young , these Lines I do indite , Desiring you them to observe , and not good Counsel slight : Take notice well I pray , what 's here pen'd in this Song , Vnto the General Iudgement-Day , I think the time 's not long : Then fear God and Repent , spend not your time in waste , For old and young , both rich and poor , must yield to Death at last . HOw many wicked Sins , are Reigning in our Land ? Which are by men & women us'd against the Lords command : Hateful Pride is in use , and also Blasphemy , Many run on in wickedness , and think they ne'r shall dye : Then fear , &c. O Would men did but think upon their latter end , Then they would flye all vanity , and strive their lives to mend : O Wretched Mortal Man , keep still , and bear in mind , Though thou tak'st pleasure in this Life , yet thou 'lt leave them behind : Then fear , &c. MInd not this Worldly Wealth , on it set not thy heart , For when that death doth stop thy breath , thy Gold and thee must part , Mans Life is like a Flower , that groweth fresh and brave , We are here to day , to morrow we may be laid within our Grave : Then fear , &c. ABhor and also shun , from Drunkenness alway . 'T will bring thy Soul & body both to ruine and decay : Abomination it is , before the sight of God , Then use it not , lest that he scourge thee with his heavy Rod : Then fear , &c. SWear thou not by the Lord , take not his name in Uain , In Moses Law it is forbid , as Scripture shews it plain : Some men now in these days , will upon their Sins boast , He is counted the bravest Blade that can curse and swear most : Then fear God and Repent , spend not your time in waste , For old and young , both rich and poor , must yield to Death at last . LEt not thy mind be bent , to do thy Neighbour wrong , But see thou give all men their due which doth to them belong : Pray Love the Fatherless , to the Widdow be a Friend , Relieve those that are in distress , then God will thee defend : Then fear God and Repent , spend not your time in waste , For old and young , both rich and poor , must yield to Death at last . A Covetous mind don't bear , if thou art blest with store , But spare some part of what thou hast , for the help of the poor : Although that wealth thou hast , yet it is but lent to thee , Then comfort and give alms to those that are in misery . Then fear , &c. NOw to Young people likewise , good counsel I will give , If thou 'lt it take , 't will do thee good , so long as thou dost live ? Neglect not Gods Holy Word , but keep his Laws truly , Mind not the pleasure of this world , for it is but Vanity . Then fear , &c. FOrget not you this rule , bear it in mind alway , Vnto your Parents reverence give , and duely them obey : For those Children that do ; their Father and Mother scorn , The curse of God hangs on their head , better they 'd ne'r been born : Then fear , &c. IDleness and Sloth shun , labour as God al●ows ; Strive always for 〈…〉 by the sweat of none 〈◊〉 Indeavour and get in Youth , to keep you when you are old For if Poverty doth come you 'l find , that Charity will be cold , Then fear , &c. REfuse no good counsel that 's given unto thee ; But shew respect unto all men , and not high-minded be : Remember that thou keep , the Sabbath of the Lord , For that 's a day ordain'd for us , to meditate on his Word : Then fear , &c. EVery one that doth these Verses hear or see Example take , and learn by them , for to live righteously : Enter not into Sin , repent without delay ; For time and tide doth slip along , it will for no man stay : Then fear God and repent , spend not your time in waste , For old and young , both rich and poor must yield to Death at last .
