         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).

           Venus

           essential
           dignities

           and
           if

           should
           give
           cooling
           remedies
           when
           Mars

           destroy
           the
           Patient

           as
           I
           have
           often
           proved

           man
           well
           armed

           must
           needs
           be

           but
           if
           Mars

             at
             what
             time
             the
             moon
             applyed

             Chronick
             ,
             and
             then
             we

             all
             acute
             griefs
             do
             end

             round
             the
             Zodiack

             some
             griefs
             are
             peracute
             and
             those
             end
             sooner

             Fourthly
             ,
             the
             Moon
             is
             free
             from
             combustion
             of
             the
             Sun.
             A
             Planet
             is
             under
             combustion

             We
             have

             two
             Testimonies
             of

             which
             is
             first
             ,
             Saturns
             being

             Secondly

             more
             strong

             the
             Moon

             yet
             commonly
             a

             better
             service
             for
             many
             which
             before

             made
             much
             enquiring
             after

             ,
             hearing

             great
             cures

             had

             Not
             long
             after
             came
             two
             men
             who
             warned
             me
             to
             depart
             by
             a
             day
             ,
             pretending
             they
             had
             order
             ,
             I
             was
             informed

             were
             Apothecaries

             to
             avoid
             trouble
             ,
             in
             regard

             I
             thought
             it
             best

             some
             hours

             the
             power
             of
             Witchcraft
             was
             so
             strong
             upon
             her

             hours

             with
             those
             herbs

             made
             oyntments
             proper

             sometimes
             when

             fearing

             following
             ,
             he
             came
             again
             with
             one
             of
             his
             Neighbours
             ,
             who
             both
             heard
             the
             boy
             speak
             and
             pray
             again
             ,
             and
             
             was
             fully
             satisfied
             ,
             paying
             me
             ,
             what
             we
             had
             agreed
             upon
             for
             the
             cure
             .
             It
             seems
             they
             were
             not
             onely
             disheartened
             by
             Physitians
             ,
             but
             also
             hearing
             that
             I
             did
             many
             times
             set
             figures
             ,
             concerning
             Nativities
             ,
             thefts
             ,
             strays
             ,
             and
             fugitives
             ,
             &c.
             
             As
             though
             I
             had
             wrought
             the
             cure
             by
             unlawful
             means
             .
             But
             before
             we
             parted
             ,
             I
             gave
             them
             both
             such
             ample
             satisfaction
             ,
             that
             they
             went
             away
             well
             contented
             and
             satisfied
             ,
             being
             joyful
             ,
             that
             it
             was
             their
             good
             hap
             to
             come
             unto
             me
             .
          
           
             Now
             whether
             this
             Boy
             was
             by
             this
             woman
             bewitched
             or
             whether
             it
             pleased
             God
             to
             lay
             such
             an
             affliction
             upon
             the
             Boy
             .
             It
             may
             be
             a
             question
             worthy
             of
             answer
             ;
             unto
             which
             I
             shall
             briefly
             reply
             in
             point
             of
             art
             ,
             That
             in
             regard
             the
             only
             afflicting
             planet
             was
             Lord
             of
             the
             twelfth
             and

             evil
             planet
             ,
             I
             did
             conclude
             that
             the
             infirmity
             might
             proceed
             from
             fascination
             or
             witchcraft
             ,
             but
             not

             if
             we

             A

             a
             linnen
             cloth
             we

             presently
             the

             when

             Boy

             upon

             time
             my
             Father
             desired
             her
             to
             make
             some
             wilde

             which
             she

             none
             .
             The
             reason
             was
             ,
             as
             she
             conceived

               and
               a
               gift
               to
               do
               it
               ,
               and
               likewise

             I
             confess
             ,
             when
             I
             heard
             by
             her
             Father
             ,
             what
             the
             Minister
             had
             done
             ,
             I
             began
             to

             somewhat
             danted
             ,
             but
             when
             I
             considered
             that
             it
             would
             much
             reflect
             upon
             my
             reputation
             ,
             to
             send
             the
             Maid
             home
             again
             uncured
             ;
             and
             farther
             considering
             ,
             that
             by
             Prayers
             ,
             and
             strength
             of
             Faith
             it
             might
             be
             done
             ;
             more
             especially
             ,
             where
             it
             pleased
             God
             to
             give
             any
             one
             that
             gift
             ,
             which
             gift
             is
             obtained
             by
             Prayer
             ,
             and
             strength
             of
             Faith
             :
             I
             also
             farther
             considered
             ,
             that
             both
             before
             and
             since
             Christs
             time

             as
             appeareth
             by
             the
             answer

             ,
             who
             taxed
             him
             ,
             saying
             ,
             
               He
               casteth
               forth
               Divels
               through

             that
             the
             Jews

             Considering

             reasons
             aforesaid

             I
             did

             and
             through
             Gods
             blessing

             Sun
             ,
             whereupon
             I
             made
             choice
             of
             the
             two
             latter

             Myrrh

             but
             instead
             of
             Gold
             I
             took
             Rose-mary
             with
             these
             I
             made

             fume

             which
             I
             continued
             until
             the
             work
             was
             ended

             also
             repeated
             those
             words
             before

             above
             two
             hours

             forth
             but
             invisible

             with
             a
             great
             cry

             I
             cheared

             bidding
             him
             fear
             nothing
             ,
             and
             willed
             him
             to
             trust
             in
             God
             not
             doubting

             the
             truth
             is

             when
             I
             saw
             him
             so
             fearful
             I
             willed
             him

             telling
             him

             that
             except
             he
             found

             his
             Faith

             throughly
             resolved
             to
             indure
             the
             danger
             ,
             cries

             and
             trouble
             of
             it
             ,
             he
             might
             unhappily
             interrupt
             me
             when
             I
             was
             most
             busie
             ;
             for
             he
             knew
             by
             what
             the
             Minister
             had
             done
             before

             that
             we
             should
             have
             some
             strugling
             ,
             but
             his
             answer
             was
             ,
             that
             what
             ever
             came
             of
             it
             ,
             he
             was
             resolved
             to
             live
             and

             whereupon
             he
             resolved

             indure
             it

             which
             accordingly
             he
             did
             perform

             immediately
             after
             the
             Devil
             left
             her
             the

             then
             sometimes
             she
             would
             be
             very

             cry

             at
             the
             receipt
             thereof
             she
             seemed
             to

             smile

             then
             presantly
             she

             into
             her

             which
             when
             her
             Father
             and
             Mother
             perceived

             from
             her

             sometimes

             for
             she
             would

             very
             unwilling
             to
             part

             was
             in

             that
             she
             could

             tormented
             ,
             and
             sometimes

             This

             fits
             she
             was
             alwayes
             dumb
             and
             silent
             ,
             her
             fits
             usually
             began
             about
             five
             a
             clock
             in
             the
             morning
             ,
             and
             lasted
             four
             hours
             ,
             during
             which
             time
             she
             would
             not
             utter
             one
             word
             ,
             but
             would
             sometimes
             leap
             about
             with
             her
             arms
             and
             legs
             like
             a
             Frog
             ,
             sometimes
             she
             would
             play
             cop-head
             ,
             over
             and
             over

             sometimes
             with
             all
             the
             might
             she
             had
             ,
             she
             would
             knock
             her
             head
             against
             the
             Beds-post
             or
             Wall
             ,
             which
             was
             nearest
             .
             Also
             being
             in
             a
             Chamber
             she
             would
             strive
             to
             get
             to
             the
             stairs
             that
             so
             she
             might
             through
             her self
             down
             .
             Now
             the
             way
             which
             I
             used
             to
             cast
             forth
             this
             dumb
             Spirit

             In
             the
             first
             place
             the
             room

             made
             so
             close
             as
             I
             could
             with
             conveniency
             ,
             I
             made
             a
             fume
             of
             such

             ;
             which
             fume
             I
             continued
             all
             the
             time
             I
             was

             this
             action
             :
             the
             time
             which
             I
             took
             to
             cast
             forth
             this
             dumb

             the
             prayers
             which
             I
             used
             ,
             was
             according
             unto
             what
             I
             have

             ;
             and
             likewise
             I
             oft

             But
             this
             dumb
             Spirit
             would
             not

             be
             much
             afflicted

             bewitched
             or
             possessed
             ;
             some

             the
             truth
             is

             she
             looked
             very
             gastly
             and
             wild
             but
             being
             by
             nature
             of

             night

             she
             might
             be
             suffered
             :
             having
             by
             a
             Figure
             discovered
             the
             cause
             of
             her
             distemper
             ,
             I
             bargained
             with
             her
             Father
             what

             the
             cure
             ,
             I
             quickly
             with
             suppositer
             and
             glister
             brought
             her
             to
             stool
             ,
             and
             within
             three
             days
             she
             grew
             sensible
             and
             quiet

             in
             a
             week
             was
             perfectly
             recovered
             .
             I
