         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).

           is
           the
           Disease
           ,
           the
           great
           Gospel
           way
           of
           Cure
           ,
           is
           true
           Repentance
           .
           And
           this
           I
           endeavour
           to
           set
           out
           ,
           in
           all
           the
           necessary
           parts
           ,
           and
           great
           and
           worthy
           Fruits
           thereof
           .
           I
           lead
           the
           Penitent
           to
           express
           the
           same
           in
           such
           Acts
           ,
           as
           through
           the
           Merits
           of
           Christ
           ,
           are
           the
           truest
           atonement
           for
           Sins
           ,
           and
           have
           the
           most
           express
           promises
           of
           Mercy
           and
           Forgiveness
           made
           to
           them
           .
           And
           then
           I
           instruct
           him
           to
           comfort
           up
           
           himself
           ,
           with
           an
           humble
           claim
           and
           application
           of
           those
           Expressions
           of
           the
           Divine
           Mercy
           and
           Condescention
           ,
           which
           are
           given
           to
           us
           for
           our
           Confidence
           and
           Consolation
           in
           performance
           of
           those
           Acts
           ,
           And
           if
           he
           takes
           care
           to
           say
           all
           that
           I
           have
           here
           put

           he
           is
           a

           his
           Everlasting
           Peace
           ,
           and
           may
           quiet
           and
           revive
           his

           ,
           with

           I
           have

           upon
           the
           several
           parts
           of

           And
           this
           part
           will
           be
           of

           And
           it
           is
           the
           surest
           Ground
           of
           Peace
           of
           Conscience
           .
           For
           ,
           containing

           Peace
           with
           God

           which
           lyes
           in
           seeing
           that
           God

           Tho'
           the
           business
           of
           these
           Papers
           is
           not
           to
           prove
           and
           argue
           ,
           but
           briefly
           to
           Direct
           ;
           yet
           to
           the
           several
           Heads
           ,
           which
           I
           have
           made
           the
           
             Articles
             of
             the
             Penitents
             Tryal
          
           ,
           I
           have
           prefixed
           
             Texts
             of
             Scripture
          
           ,
           to
           shew
           that
           
           God
           has
           made
           them
           the
           
             Terms
             of
             his
             Mercy
          
           .
           But
           't
           is
           not
           unlikely
           ,
           that
           some
           who
           will
           not
           be
           perswaded
           to
           be
           so
           good
           as
           they
           should
           ,
           will
           think
           that
           I
           am
           stricter
           about
           this
           account
           than
           I
           need
           .
           And
           if
           they
           doe
           ,
           I
           cannot
           help
           it
           ,
           but
           they
           may
           .
           My
           Part
           is
           to
           deal
           faithfully
           ,
           both
           by
           my
           Blessed
           Lord
           ,
           and
           by
           them
           ;
           and
           to
           represent
           things
           to
           them
           ,
           as
           he
           has
           left
           them
           ,
           and
           as
           in
           the
           end
           they
           will
           find
           them
           .
           So
           that
           if
           my
           Discourse
           has
           more
           strictness
           ,
           than
           they
           could
           wish
           to
           hear
           from
           it
           ,
           it
