         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).

           Your
           Letter
           brought
           with
           it
           all
           those
           circumstances
           that
           could
           justly
           endear
           it
           unto
           me
           ;
           and
           I
           was
           infinitely
           satisfied
           to
           understand
           that
           I
           had
           so
           important
           a
           place
           in
           that
           memory
           which
           retains
           nothing
           vulgar
           and
           trivial
           :
           These
           sentiments
           alone
           were
           enough
           to
           transport
           me
           into
           some
           vanity
           ,
           and
           place
           a
           greater
           value
           on
           my self

           I

           merit
           ,
           because
           you

             your
             judgement
          
           that

           My
           life
           hath
           been
           a
           continual
           scene
           of
           dangers

           the

           All

           appeared

             Fate

           I
           was

           and
           my
           thoughts
           discovered
           unto
           me
           clearly
           what
           grounds
           I
           might

           and
           amidst
           these
           resentments
           I
           was
           prepared
           for
           any
           issue
           Providence
           would
           ordain

             in
             this
          
           I

           the
           consequence
           of
           the
           attempt

           or
           where
           to
           terminate
           my
           fears
           :
           so
           that
           I
           was
           forced
           to
           abandon
           all
           those
           
             melanchollick
             apprehensions
          
           ,
           and
           to
           deduce
           my
           encourageme●…ts
           from
           the
           
             necessity
             of
             the
             Action
          
           ,
           and
           from
           that
           despair
           which
           made
           all
           troubles
           and
           even
           death
           it self
           pleasant
           ,
           since
           I
           could
           make
           no
           other
           estimate
           of
           England

           poor
           remains
           of
           Religion
           and
           Learning
           amongst
           us
           were
           so
           imminently
           endangered
           ,
           that
           I
           could
           not
           expect
           their
           
             long
             continuance
          
           ,
           nor
           with
           patience
           think
           how
           to
           survive
           them
           .
           All
           men
           represented
           unto
           me
           the
           perils
           into
           which
           I
           threw
           my self
           ,
           but
           none
           moro
           than
           I
           foresaw
           my self
           :
           none
           had
           the
           confidence
           to
           imbolden
           me
           ,
           many
           dissuaded
           me
           :
           but
           in
           the
           whole
           affair
           I
           consulted
           the
           tranquility
           of
           my

             mind
          
           ,
           and
           determined
           upon
           that
           courso
           wherein
           I
           found
           the
           most
           content
           ,
           not
           the
           most
           profit
           :
           and
           agreeable
           to
           the

           of
           that
           Hebrew
           Proverb

             Though
             sixty
             Councellours

             you
             an

             yet

             not
             the

           I
           fixed
           upon
           those
           resolutions
           which
           were
           most
           conformable
           to
           my
           Soul
           ,
           and
           in
           which
           I
           found

           best

           left

           to
           God
           ,
           whose
           glory
           was
           concern'd
           so
           highly
           ,
           and
           bottomed
           my self

           THE

           you
           write
           me
           about
           Dr.

           not
           during
           this
           last
           year

           of
           the

           I
           should
           have
           wondered
           much
           to
           understand
           that
           I
           was
           entitled
           to
           the
           
             Lex

           But
           the
           Comediants
           finding
           their
           anger
           insignificant
           against
           me
           ,
           by
           reason
           of
           the
           advantages
           which
           
             their
             ignorance
          
           had
           given
           me
           over
           them
           ,
           have
           ascribed
           unto
           me
           a
           book
           which
           admits
           of
           an
           
             easy
             reply
          
           ,
           and
           which
           enterferes
           with
           the
           
             Colledge
             of
             Physicians
          
           ,
           that
           so
           they
           might
           seem
           to
           bassle
           and
           inodiate
           me
           at
           once
           in
           the
           judgement
           of
           that
           profession
           for
           which
           I
           seem
           concern'd
           .
           I
           cannot
           make
           any
           particular
           desence
           ,
           not
           having
           seen
           
             his
             book
          
           :
           but
           if
           Dr.
           Merrett
           had
           consulted
           the
           
             principal
             Apothecaries
          
           ,
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           
             some
             of
             them
          
           could
           have
           given
           him
           an
           account
           of
           my
           intentions
           ,
           and
           how
           different
           my
           sentiments
           were
           from
           those
           of
           
             that
             Authour
          
           :
           and
           it
           was
           easie
           for
           him
           to
           learn
           that
           I
           was
           not
           the
           penner
           or
           approver
           of
           the
           other
           piece
           .
           I
           writ
           to
           some
           of
           the
           Company
           of
           Apothecaries
           desiring
           them
           to
           compose
           the
           growing
           fewd
           betwixt
           them
           and
           the
           Colledge
           ,
           and
           told
           them
           that
           I
           neither
           could
           nor
           would
           encourage
           them
           against
           that
           
             Illustrious
             Assembly
          
           ;
           that
           it
           was
           the
           interest
           of
           Physicians
           to
           employ
           Apothecaries
           ,
           as
           a
           
             distinct
             profession
          
           ;
           and
           that
           it
           was
           the
           prudence
           of
           States
           that
           it
           should
           be
           so
           :
           that
           I
           could
           deduce
           the
           difference
           of
           the
           employments
           thorough
           Antient
           and
           Modern

           as
           well
           as
           Rome
           :
           and
           that
           the
           reasons
           to
           be
           alledged
           against
           Physicians

             own
             Medicaments
          
           were
           such
           as
           admitted
           of
           
             no
             answer
          
           ,
           nor
           evasion
           amongst
           understanding
           
           men

           but
           that
           I
           could
           never
           invent
           or
           meet
           with
           any
           arguments
           that
           could
           induce
           me
           to
           allow
           of
           
             practicing
             Apothecaries
          
           ;
           and
           that
           I
           understood
           so
           well
           the
           extent
           and
           difficulty
           of
           my

           that
           (

           might

             some
             cases

           I
           could
           never
           defend
           that
           assertion
           .
           I
           desired
           them
           to
           consider
           that
           if
           any
           heats
           or
           indignities

           passed
           from
           the
           Colledge
           towards
           them

           it
           was
           their
           wisdom
           to
           
             pass
             them
             by
          
           ,
           and
           not
           to
           abandon
           their
           
             important
             concernments
          
           to
           indulge
           any
           passion

           that
           the
           effect
           of
           this
           contest
           would
           be
           ,
           that
           the
           impertinent
           Virtuosi
           and
           insolent
           Quacksalvers

           carry
           away
           all
           the
           advantage

           to
           conclude
           ,
           there
           were
           many
           defaults
           needed

           that
           although
           the
           Physicians
           in
           general
           would
           be
           prejudiced
           by
           
             this
             dispute

           yet
           so
           many
           
             eminent
             persons
          
           would
           continue
           famous
           ,
           as
           might
           divert
           the
           Storm
           upon
           the
           heads
           of
           the
           Apothecaries

           and
           if
           the
           Colledge
           would
           joyn
           effectually
           therein
           ,
           the
           project
           is
           not
           difficult
           ,
           though
           I
           would
           not
           intimate
           it

           I
           did
           therefore
           earnestly
           recommend
           unto
           their
           considerations
           an
           union

           and
           that
           they
           would
           not
           delude
           themselves
           that
           they
           could
           prosecute
           
             their
             Trades
          
           long
           ,
           is
           that
           
             famed
             body
             of
             men
          
           did
           resolve
           against

           ,
           with
           whose
           determinations
           I
           did
           not
           doubt

           all
           
             intelligent
             practitioners
          
           in
           the
           Countrey
           and
           Counties

           comply
           :
           but
           I
           hoped
           we
           should
           not

             extreams

           I
           advised
           them
           to
           reflect
           upon
           our

           and
           see
           if
           they

             principal
             Incendiaries

           that
           all
           the
           books
           that
           had
           been
           yet

             Subject
          
           proceeded
           from
           them
           ;
           and
           that
           I
           looked
           on
           it
           as
           a
           design

           that
           there
           wanted
           not
           of
           them
           who
           purposed

           Shop

           whence
           all

           be
           furnished
           cheaper
           and
           better
           than
           now
           ,
           as
           to
           
             general
             Medecines
          
           ,
           provided
           they
           would
           act
           themselves
           in
           the
           more
           common
           and
           frequent
           Medicaments
           :
           that
           if
           they
           proceeded
           herein
           ,
           the
           Virtuosi
           might
           facilitate
           their
           design

           though
           their
           igrance
           and
           unfaithfulness
           be
           such
           that
           all
           men
           ought
           to
           oppose
           
             these
             Projectors
          
           .
           Upon
           this
           account
           I
           did
           largely
           handle
           that
           Question
           ,
           
             Whether
             Physicians
             ought
             to

           Negative

           urged
           all
           those
           
           arguments
           (
           with

           illustrations

           but
           I
           protested

           encouragement
           for
           
             Apothecaries

             practice
          
           .
           I
           answer'd
           all
           that
           Dr.
           Merrett
           had
           alledged

           and
           shewed
           his
           
             intollerable
             ignorance
          
           in

           book
           ;
           and
           if
           we
           might
           take
           an
           estimate
           of
           
             his

           from
           
             that

           't
           was

           years

           As
           for
           Dr.
           Goddard
           ,
           who
           had

           more

             prudence
          
           ,
           I
           only
           dissented
           from
           him

           a

           I
           pittyed

           This
           was
           the

           pernicious
           influence
           they
           would
           have
           ere

           more
           inspected
           them
           :
           that
           they
           began
           with
           the
           
             rectifying
             Apothecaries

           but
           where
           they
           would
           end
           I
           did
           not

           the
           tendency
           of
           whose
           designs
           was
           so
           satal
           and
           malignant
           :
           that
           I
           hoped
           the

           consult

           act
           with
           that
           moderation
           which
           became
           wisemen
           ,
           &
           who
           were
           tender
           of

           would

           of

           demean
           themselves
           with
           that
           moderation
           which
           might
           end
           in

           that
           this
           quarrel

           inconsiderable
