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).

FIrst , Set the small Instrument upon any Level place , where the Sun comes two or three hours before , and as many after Noon , and by the 4 Marks at the bottom , make the 4 Points ( A , B , C , D ) and by those Marks make two Lines , ( A , C ) and ( B , D ) crossing each other in the Point ( O. ) Then mark the Point ( E ) where the shadow of the Pin terminates in the Forenoon . And having from the Distance ( O E ) described a Circle , watch in the Afternoon , when the shadow of the Pin cuts the Circle in the Point ( F ) for the Line ( E F ) is a true East and West Line ; And the Hours of ( VI ) and ( VI ) upon the Dyal , being placed upon the said Line , the Dyal is truly set .

If it be required to fix any Dyal in any place of England , Scotland , &c. not mentioned in this Catalogue , it must be set according to the nearest of the places that are mentioned , and it will serve without any sensible Error , and much better than those ordinary Brass Dyals , which are usually made by ignorant Apprentices and Journey-men : Or that Cobbled Pewter Dyal , which was lately made by a Brazen-fac'd Founder , in Imitation of this Porr Man's Dyal , and deserves at least , by way of Transposition , the Name of That Man 's Poor Dyal ; For tho' he had the Wit to make a Circle of the same Diameter , and to set off all the Divisions of the Hours , Halfs , and Quarters from the other ; yet the Style is so False and Defective in all its Parts , that it is not to be mended by one , who knows nothing of a Dyal : Yet , notwithstanding , in one thing he is to be commended , that he has made the Hour-Lines so short , that the Shadow , of the False Gnomon , will not so easily discover his Errors . Besides , he has carefully fill'd up the Vacancies in the middle of he Dyal , with the Points of the Compass , which are only proper for an Upright Style , and clogg'd the Tail of it with five Leaden Bells , within a pair of Rams-horns , to ring aloud the praises of his Sheeps-head , for attempting to Imitate or Counterfeit another Man's Contrivance , without being able to perform it like an Artist : Forasmuch as any person who has the least knowledge of those matters , will soon distinguish between the true Original , ( which was first Calculated , and afterwards Exactly Delineated by Sir Samuel Morland's own Hands , and the Molds of the Style , which is the principal part of the Dyal , carefully Contrived and Corrected ) and that ignorant Founder's Counterfeit , and Ill-contrived Dyal , to which he has put a Date of 1690 , to let the World understand that it was none of his own Contrivance , but that he did Counterfeit one that was made before , viz. in 1689. And of which the Style comes False out of the Mold , and by Cutting and Scraping is made Ten Times worse . If by Accident in sending about , or otherwise , any of these Dyals , or the Stiles of them being but Block Tin , shall happen to be Bent ; Then with the help of a Square , or for want of that , of a quarter of a Sheet of any Paper folded up in a double fold , ( which makes an exact Square ) it may be bended back , and set right again .
