         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).

             This
             is
             the
             Army
             of
             the
             East
             and
             North
             ,
             of
             which
             I
             have
             made
             mention
             to
             you
             .
             Remember
             these
             things
             that
             I
             have
             declared
             ,
             for
             all
             will
             come
             to
             pass
             according
             to
             the
             Prediction
             .
             (
             By
             the
             Eastern
             Army

             )
             And
             I
             looked
             a
             long
             time
             upon
             them
             ,
             till
             I
             observed
             few
             of
             the
             Northern
             Army
             remained
             ,
             the
             sad
             sight
             oppressed
             me
             with
             grief
             ,
             fearing
             they
             would
             be
             utterly
             overthrown
             ,
             but
             the
             Antient
             of
             times
             comforted
             
             me
             ,
             and
             said
             ,
             Behold
             help
             cometh
             from
             Sion

             Holiness
             .
             And
             I
             looked
             again
             ,
             and
             behold
             a
             great
             Army
             descended
             from
             Heaven
             ,
             which
             was
             commanded
             by
             a
             man
             in
             a
             flame

             with
             a
             great
             Sword
             in
             his
             hand
             ,
             uniting
             himself
             to

             And
             I
             beheld
             also
             Clouds
             of
             smoak
             waving

             was
             renewed

             and
             the
             Southern
             army
             did
             fall
             like

             this
             were
             slain

             and
             the
             rest
             fled
