Caption title. Attributed to Paul by Wing. Imprint suggested by Wing. Text within heavy black mourning border. Reproduction of the original in the National Library of Scotland. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. 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).

MUst we now our Ideas thus imploy , Ah's Death lament in stead of Joy : Sader's our State than when scarce Aeneas , To Dido could tell 's Ideas ; Even worse then when to Jacob 't was told , Rent Joseph is , whereas but Sold. WE ought therefore his Praises to resound , In Thousands since his Match isn't found . Lo He like Holy Lot , his Time spent here , Loving his GOD , and Him did fear : In Preaching He , like Luther was a Star , Any Convincing that did Err ; Moses for Meekness , Aaron in his Speech , DEspising Ill , and well did Teach , Uriah 's Sp'rit , in Him did ly of Gold , None so Precious to be Sold : Like Joseph for 's Parts , the KING did'm Promote , O're passing many in his Coat . Plac'd by the KING , the Colledge to Govern , PIety to Plant , did Discern : Rightly , yea , by our Lords , He was Elect'd , In Speed cur Trade for to direct . None could , so well with Peace Debates agree , Concerning Gentlemen , as did He. In Nestor's Age , His Equal was , I don't believe , Paul like He was , when here He did survive , All His rare Virtues , I cannot Rehearse , Lowing my Sails , I end my Verse .
